Did some calculations to find induced current produced based on the target power range. Using the formula:
P = IV
Where:
P = Power (W)
I = Current (A)
V = Voltage (V)
If the power desired is between 5W to 10W, the current will be between 416.67mA and 833.33mA.

Found the approximate magnetic strength for various types of magnet and equipment.
31st July 2019
Did some calculations by varying the magnetic strength and area of coil. The magnetic strength was of a refrigerator magnet and industrial magnet. The industrial magnet has a strength of 1T. The area of coil was varied from 2cm to 4cm. It was found that to produce 12V, stronger magnet will require less number of turns. Also, if the area of coil increases, the number of turns decreases.
In addition, did some rough sketches of the design ideas of the system.
