I discovered something that I can see no use for but maybe someone else

spin one motor, the other motor spins! The first is obviously generating
DC voltage in proportion to speed. This could be a poor mans mechanical
remote control.

It fascinated me how accurately the driven motor mimics the dynamo.

Anyway, I've used the idea to make a puppet "Furby" - you can see it on my
Mindstorms page:
