[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9739540, member: 56"]Do you have to push the buttons to see the lights, or do they automatically cycle? It's my understanding that motors and generators are essentially the same thing. If you put energy in and get motion out, it's a motor. Motion in and energy out is a generator.
