Coils are rotated past these magnets which causes the electrons in the coil to align in a particular way. This causes current to move in that direction. The power is actually generated as the coil wires pass through the lines of flux from the magnet.

If you would like to see these lines of flux you can! Put a piece of paper over a magnet and sprinkle some iron filings on the paper. Tap the paper a few times and the flux lines will start to appear. A wire passing through these lines generates a small current flow. The faster you can make this action repeat, the more flow. Many wires are coiled together to make this action occur so often that usable power is made.

Can a permanent magnet solenoid be modified to work like a permanent magnet linear generator?

yes - need to run electricity through it to make it a linear magnetic generator.


How does a permanent magnet generator work to produce electricity?

A permanent magnet generator works by using the magnetic field of permanent magnets to induce an electric current in a coil of wire. As the magnets rotate, they create a changing magnetic field that causes electrons in the wire to move, generating electricity through electromagnetic induction.
