1. A generator device configured for generating electric current, the generator device comprising:
a main permanent magnet, which extends along a main axis of rotation and is mounted rotatably about the main axis of rotation,
a rotary drive configured for rotating the main permanent magnet,
a wall which extends along the main axis of rotation and in a circumferential direction about the main permanent magnet, and
at least two peripheral permanent magnets, the peripheral permanent magnets being mounted rotatably about respective peripheral axes of rotation,
at least two electrical generators,
the peripheral permanent magnets are each coupled to a rotatable drive shaft of a respective one of the electrical generators,
the wall is arranged between the main permanent magnet and the peripheral permanent magnets, and
the at least two electrical generators are arranged distributed along the main axis of rotation and in the circumferential direction such that rotation of the main permanent magnet by the rotary drive causes rotation of the peripheral permanent magnets which causes rotation of the drive shafts of the electrical generators, wherein the generator device is configured for generating electric current based on a magnetic interaction between the rotatable permanent magnet and the at least two rotatable peripheral permanent magnets;
wherein the main permanent magnet has a north pole and a south pole, and the main axis of rotation runs between the north pole of the main permanent magnet and the south pole of the main permanent magnet such that, during rotation of the main permanent magnet about the main axis of rotation, the north pole of the main permanent magnet and the south pole of the main permanent magnet are each alternatingly closest to a respective one of the peripheral permanent magnets.
