the purpose of this question is to possibly design a practical
generator using a torrus shaped magnetic field.

because a torrus is circular the field is self shielding and
concentrates the flux lines at the core. It would be a good place to
make a current flow if coils in the core can be caused to move
correctly.

please discuss or correct the following notions:

1 wires moving in this field must CROSS lines of flux not orbit
parallel to them?

2 when a magnet rotates about it's axis does the field remain
stationary?

3 would a wire perpendicular to the core flux lines, rotated radially
be crossing them and result in voltage?

The question is practical because we already have the means to
motivate one torrus within the shell of another one.

Thanks for anyone's input.
