Using magnets mounted on a cylindrical rotor in a spiral formation, a moving magnetic field is created that travels longitudinally to the cylindrical rotor.
As testimony to this statement, view the video below, taking notice of the side magnets on the linear rails. The moving magnetic field is able to cause the side magnets to move longitudinally in line with the rotor.
Please disregard the commentary in the video, as what I am presenting now was not noticed during filming. The important thing to pay attention to is the moving magnetic field that is created from the rotor, and the direction of force required to create it.
As you can see, the force to turn the rotor is perpendicular to the direction of the moving magnetic field.
If we replace the linear rails on the side with longitudinal coils, induction will occur as if magnets were traveling longitudinally across the coil. But since the motion that causes this effect is 90° different, the lenz force created from the induction should not be able to oppose the physical movement of the rotor.
Both sides of the rotor could be used to create alternating current by making one spiral north, and the other spiral south.
I will try to do some more testing on this in the near future.
