I know eddy currents only require *conductive* material, but I'm not sure how these work.

That's a good point. I have been stopped by a Florida cop for taking the lane on a narrow 2 lane road, going at 20 miles/hr on a 35 limit. I had the law on my side, but he suggested I take the right side of the lane (thought squeeze between cars and me) or side walk. To make long story short, they do what they want when cops them self don't know the law as well as they should.

What I was referring to (and I am not surprised it has gone unnoticed as it is well hidden) is that Reelight were "supposed" to be demonstrating a what can only be described as a "magniclight of their own" at Eurobike 2013, the "Reelight CITY".

This is a Google cache of their page about it, as the original page is now offline.

Again, fascinating technology and competition to boot! Maybe those magnets are so powerful that they faintly and briefly, magnetize the aluminum rim and create the electricity that way? Just thinking!
