Consider waves of frequency 
and quantized angular momentum 
impinging on object rotation with frequency 
External reference frame variation of the fields: 
Object reference frame variation of the fields: 
If 
and have opposite signs:
Amplitude of (classical) scattered wave exceeds incoming wave (Super-radiance).
Conjectured (quantum) spontaneous emission with no incoming wave.

Number of photons in a mode of frequency and angular momentum ,
generated by object rotating with angular velocity is:
E.g., net power for a rotating cylinder:
