The _voltage_ is determined by the rate the magnets are spinning at.
The _current_ is what causes the torque effect.
The _power_ is voltage * current. When you're drawing no power, no
current is flowing, so there's no back-torque.

But this NG is full of people that torque back.

No, you don't. You prefer to go off at tangents.

Sounds like you're trying to elicit guilt Hamish.

Is that what the argument is about?

Now I need to work out who's on what side
