The windmill generator comprises a coil frame armature around which a coil is wrapped. Rare earth magnets are disposed in proximity to the coil. A set of wings may be coupled to the coil frame armature. When motion is induced to the coil from the pushing effect of moving air pushing the set of wings, an electric field and electric current due are produced due to flux lines of the magnetic field of the magnet being crossed by the moving coil. Alternatively, the set of wings may be coupled to the at least one magnet. When motion is induced to a magnet, an electric field/electric current is produced. | 11-27-2014 |

More specifically, one or more stationary metal coils are positioned near a rotating plate on which a set of magnets are places, the metal coils oriented to be crossed by magnetic flux lines of the magnets. Alternatively, a set of magnets or metal coils are place on a rotating plate with one or more stationary magnets oriented near to yield crossed magnetic flux lines. The rotating plate may be driven by a motor, a hand crank, or any human motion with a set of gears to facilitate rotational torque. | 12-17-2015 |
