I work on a Generator. I see that it has 3 stators. 1 stator has the rotor exciter spinning in it. The other has the rotor main winding that spins in it and the other has the rotor permanent magnet spinning in it. The electricity produced by the permanent magnet powers the stator with the rotor exciter that spins in it. The stator is wound so that it induces AC into the 3 coil rotor exciter. The rotor exciter has a rectifier assembly in it to put DC into the rotor main winding to produce a rotating magnetic field to produce power. Why not rather wind the stator so that instead of having many alternating pole electromagnets, it has many electromagnets with the same pole facing the spinning exciter? That would negate the need to have a rectifier assembly. I asked AI and it says this "will 2 or more magnets with the same poles facing a spinning coil produce current? Copilot: Yes, two or more magnets with the same poles facing a spinning coil can produce a current. The key factor here is the relative motion between the magnets and the coil. When the coil spins in the presence of a magnetic field, it experiences a change in magnetic flux" Is AI correct? If so why not wind the stator to induce DC to the rotor exciter?
