So true, not friction. However, work must be done to induce a current. What object is doing the work? http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/farlaw.html Curtis "where friction is is not work" McKenzie On Mon, Nov 9, 2015 at 10:19 AM, Eric Norris wrote: >

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

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?
