I am interested in designing a linear generator (miniature generator)of about 200 W, I would be really thankful if anyone could guide me with selecting the necessary permanent magnets and the coil, in order to achieve this. I have thought of a Halbach array magnet arrangement but I do have issues with selecting the type and gauge of the coil, whether it should be a square or a round cross section?

How many do you have to make?
Life and health important, or is this for a toy purpose where it doesn't matter of it breaks?
How many in a production run?
So, do you need to generate 200 watts continuously, or just to store and charge up a battery like a hand-held generator flashlight?
Manually made, or machine-built?
If not a hand-held unit (reallllly hard to get that much power out), what is the driver and how long is the intended oscillation length of the magnet through the bar?

Materials
There are a bunch of designs out there, that were intended to be driven by sterling engines.
