If you want to continue this further we can take it to PM. I already stated that I suppose it is better to play it safe.
I personally do not think that a small brush-less fan motor can generate even negligible current. But that conversation would be best continued in a separate thread or PM. Proof is always better than theory. Thank you.

I have tried to produce proof to you through the use of web sites and Google but fail to find a link to suitable proof as you put it.
I have however, a very advanced degree in electronics and have personally built alternators as part of projects and experimented with them.
I have also learned how energy is produced by creating energy with wind turbines, by using fans the size of those found inside a computer as part of those experiments, I was able to produce an AC current larger than 2.8 volts AC using an air compressor against the fan.
Some circuits in an IC chip have maximum voltage inputs of 0.5 volts, 2.8 volts is more than enough voltage to fry that circuit inside the IC chip, also, AC current is Accelerated Current, DC is Direct Current, AC in a DC circuit can cause damage to sensitive components.
I suggest for sake of argument, that you try the experiment yourself, a brush-less cooling fan will still output AC current into the motherboard circuitry, which is intended for DC current ONLY.
If someone can find a helpful link to a web page that backs up my theory, please post it.
Bruce.
