Let's take the three-phase alternator design laid out earlier (Figure below) and watch what happens as the magnet rotates.

The phase angle shift of 120o is a function of the actual rotational angle shift of the three pairs of windings (Figure below). If the magnet is rotating clockwise, winding 3 will generate its peak instantaneous...
