If I were to use, say, 15 gauge wire, how many turns would I need with that?

The thickest gauge wire I currently have (but not much of left) is 24 gauge. The thickest I have a whole lot of right now is 25 gauge.

I do have a spool of 35 gauge magnet wire. Would that be any good, or is 35 gauge too thin for anything over 10 volts? What gauge wire do you recommend? Also, I made my coils so that the inside opening is roughly the same width as the individual magnets, and about a couple milimeters longer than the...

I am using roughly 28-30 gauge magnet wire with roughly 25-35 turns per coil, open air in the center of the coils (the center of each coil has nothing but only open air within), and am using N45 grade Neodymium magnets that are 1 inch long, a half inch wide, a quarter of an inch thick, are polarized...

So far, I have wound 8 coils of magnet wire, did a voltage measurement on one, and got a maximum reading of .025 volts holding it close to the magnetic rotor while spinning the rotor. Put together, I estimate that they would generate about a fifth of a volt of electricity. I am aiming for an output ...

So then, if I have 16 magnets, should I have 16 coils as well?

This is a pic of the magnets allready attached to my main generator project. There are a total of 16 magnets around the circumference of the rotor, every other magnet is north and south pole all the way around.

These are the coils, plus the drill, that I have been experimenting with by spinning them, with the drill, between the magnets in the vise. The small one did not light the Christmas bulb at all, even on full speed, but the large one did, and it is the one that produced that faint glow in the bulb fi...

Triton115 from Youtube here. As I was saying in my message on Youtube, I am having problems generating electricity. Here are some pictures of how I have tried to generate electricity. This is the vise and the 4 magnets.
