Brilliant! I would love something like this.
Power seems to be the biggest problem. System weight and any dynamo resistance is another. How many people will want to glue magnets etc. to their vintage campag BB...
Any systems would need some serious testing before cyclists would pay the money etc.
Also, how long would it be before the pros got wise to it an started shaking out frames in their vans.
The units would need to be secure/fixed into the frame in a position where they couldn't be removed or disabled easily. Shaken out or bashed with a steel pipe down the seat tube.
They would also need to be secure against somebody running a strong magnet over or running high voltage through the frame.
Obviously, I'm being paranoid.
Best option would be to produce a self-contained security BB.
