Re: Is it okay to run one motor in a two motor transmission?
Hopefully Al will stumbe along this thread and give us a precise detailed answer I've always wondered what happens to the electricity generated by a spinning motor (essentially a generator I suppose) that is not connected to anything. Does the electricity (for lack of a better term) dissapate into the air?

EDIT: Looks like Al beat me to the thread But I'm still wondering about my question.
