I predict when we all realise our flashy / not so flashy dynohubs all die we will be getting into the new era 'bottle' dynamos. Apparently they rest on the rim (not tyre) and are very low resistance.
Isn't there a really nifty german one of these that I'm too lazy to look up?
@Alan_tbt It does :)

@MisterMikkel Apparently the shimano top end ones 3dn72/80 or whatever is serviceable in that you can service the bearings. The electrical internal (I'm guessing) notsomuch. From what I've heard Schmidt, like SP, is a send it to the factory sitch.
I have heard if you attempt to service bearings you have to know/do something very particular in order to not fuck it up, something to do with a cable that sits in a groove in the axle. Or something.

You heard it here first.
I predicted the rise & rise of the mudflap back in 2010 ish, so, you know, Nostradamus aint got nothin on me.
