@coolbean i wanted to use the ac frequency, that seems easier and idk how linear the voltage is, i think there's stuff in place to limit it

@twinspin6 @coolbean yeah, was thinking there's already the same stuff in the hub you'd use for a speedometer, why not use it

@twinspin6 @coolbean amperage really depends but apparently they're supposed to produce ~6V for as wide a range as possible
