us ability to <b>convert</b> the
mechanical energy into electrical energy, I don't ask the
following questions: what is the mechanism of this conversion?,
where does the torque go?, and where does the electrical energy
come from? The apparent observation that the generated current
produces a motoring effect that opposes the input torque should
not be interpreted as a vindication of the conservation rule, but
as an admission that this is an inefficient way to generate
electricity. The Space Power Gen
