So true, not friction.
However, work must be done to induce a current. What object is doing the
work?

That is all that matters!
Enjoy!

No friction? Interesting. Grin.

This looks like it works on the same principle as the Magnic Lights, which I’ve
been using for several years. Magnic just came out with Ver. 2 of their
product, which added new circuitry for a steadier and brighter light.
No friction!? Absolutely true. There is no contact between the Magnic

This looks cool but looks like it is just meant for city riding? Not a lot
of info on the site about
The lights have a rotating ring of small, very strong magnets in them, which
think are somehow turning in response to the wheel going by them, but I’m not
sure.
As I said, in the real world, on real bikes, I can’t feel any kind of drag from
these lights. My guess is that they’re much more
Eric,
Thanks for shedding light via your personal experience.
How do the magnetic lights do in rain/mud. It seems like it has to be close
to the rim in order to generate the magnetic force to turn the generator
inside the light, but is there any safety risks to being so close to the
rim?
pun was not intended...
