Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Mechanical Power Supply?

Yes, this is theoretically possible.

You'd need a motor slightly bigger than what you describe, as motors are
inefficient generators.

The power it would produce would still have to be filtered. Most DC
motors don't have perfectly smooth conduction between the commutator and
the brushes.
