Both designs have rollers that are free to rotate.
Even though they are free to rotate, mecanum rollers don't roll much (theoretically not at all) when driving straight forward or backward on a non-compliant surface. This is true for any mecanum design.

It's this style of mecanum wheel that still has the same Vann Der Graff Generator potential as Omni Wheels.

What reasoning (or experience) convinces you that mecanum wheels act as Van de Graaff generators?
