Yea, they just have to enforce it, not make sensible rules. Just let them do their jobs in peace and go petition the relevant aviation authorities if it bothers you that much.
As a prospective electrical engineer, i sure hope there's a safeguard against that, since i believe it would be quite simple and cheap to include. If you spin it fast enough you might overload and fry it though, even if it is there.
Would it be possible to put the energy generated back into the motor to make it easier to spin it faster? Maybe use some capacitors to have it switch between generator and motor mode on a repeating cycle?
