12, 3, 6 and 9 on your clock are 90 out and they are very symmetrical.

so are 1,4,7,10 but not 2,3,7,12.

That reminds me of the "clock arithmetic" we had in school once, where 1
- 2 = 11. It's mod12 where you say 12 when you really mean 0.

You might be able to create a 100 degree phase shift with electronics
(using a capacitor like starting a motor) but not in an alternator.

I suppose you could if it was wound right.

One more time, all you have to do is rotate the winding to get whatever
phase difference you want between two generators on a common shaft.
IDK why that concept is so hard.
