  • Saw this through looking at Kilo, a danish design agency. Felt compelled to share. I definitely can't see myself going for this kind of thing, but I wonder whether the fact that people think a dynamo will cause loads of friction etc will push them to back something like this/ create a market for similar products.

    I mean I certainly can't see it happening in Scandinavia (do they all already use dynamos?) But maybe in US/UK.

  • Hmm, cool design concept but you are just replacing friction for electromagnetic drag

    I also wonder how sensitive it is to distance from the rim - I suspect its going to be a square or cube law, someone who did decent level physics will know
