Didn't realize you were still stuck on "out of the box."  It's pretty obvious
that you have to remove the commutation electronics (FETs, sequencer, etc) to
get it to work.  You also have to remove the FETs which cause a brushed motor to
run in order to use it as a generator.  Of course, this is mixing apples and
apples (motor + drive electronics  == motor + drive electronics).

If you're trying to compare apples (motor + drive electronics) to oranges (motor
alone) then obviously you'll have problems.

Good Friend,
I think we are both hitting the drum from different angles,

I'm saying that it wont work out of the box,
Your saying that it will work with modifications.

It's pretty much the same thing isn't it?
