What Causes What in an Altenator/Generator?

I'm trying to build an alternator/generator that has the magnets rotating inside a coil of wire (or stator) to produce HIGH AMPS at LOW VOLTS. So what causes amps vs. volts: number of coils, magnetic field strength, rpm's, what?

More Amperes at less Volts are achieved with less turns of thicker wire.

The rpm and magnetic field strenght are both directly proportional to the multiplication of Amperes and Volts; that is, Watts.

More speed or more magnetic field will raise both figures = more Watts
