I'm not sure if i understood that video so much. Looks like that first experiment he applied some power to that larger generator/motor, spun it up to store some potential energy through it's rotating mass (inertia) than used it to run that 60w light bulb. Then he runs a car off of what looks like that same motor and explains that at the same load you want the voltage to build and cut down on the current, which makes sense since you don't want to overheat anything. What i don't get is how this is anything new here, maybe i don't understand enough about electrical physics? Any EE's in here want to take a crack at this?
