No it would need a second set of windings to be a motor.

There are certain heavy older sedans, specifically those without modern carbon-ceramic disc brakes with ventilated rotors, for which these should absolutely be mandatory. It's extremely unpleasant trying to slow down a heavier car that just wants to keep on rolling forever once it finally gets moving! Not to mention brake-pads and rotors would last significantly longer with the addition of one of these engine retarder systems. And you'd never have to worry about losing your brakes again! How many people are seriously injured every year from brake fade on steep downgrades?! Or if it's an older vehicle, and you experience a brake-line failure, what then?! "Gearing down" doesn't do enough either. All vehicles need to come equipped (or else retroactively fitted) with a dashboard switch-activated device, with three initial settings: on/off/auto, with further settings once enabled, to be used at the driver's discretion. I'd give anything to have something like this on every vehicle I ever drive for the rest of my life.

Are the telma rotors a separate thing from the brake rotors or are we talking about the same thing?

I wonder can this be turned into a motor to apply power?
