Might not be related to this thread, however, I sold Wind generators for several years, back in the 70's-80's. One brand used bar magnets to create the electricity, by spinning the magnets, mounted on the inside of a steel cylinder, around the wire wound coils that were stationary on the fixed hub of the alternator.

I doubt that the magnets ever got too weak to produce electricity. ???
