Having read the thread about plug braking in front hubs:
http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8212
And the thread where methods came off a bike which exhibited unexpected regen at 25mph, spining the hub out of his front drops;
I was wondering what the real danger of this is.
Lets assume that you have a hub properly secured with torque arms so the wheel coming loose isn't an issue. Then somehow the phase wires short circuit together turning the front hub into an electromagnetic brake.
How could one calculate the braking force, as a function of speed?
