<snip elegant analogy>
I now understand why the thing is so damned big compared to
the Kawai/Takahashi motor - and why the rotor arm turns nice
and slow - a great help for a doubting Thomas like me for whom
seeing is believing. 8-)
The slower that the build up can take place, the better.
One needs a very large arm (or arms) and a gearing system to
drive a generator.

Of course, the speed is load dependent also, the vid I posted shows
the rotor under load. It spins much faster freewheeling. I think I
have an image of the axial generator somewhere. I load that up
directly.
