if the main rotor is electrified similarly there is no need for a tail rotor at all.
Isaac Newton might have something to say about that. Electric motor mounted on fuselage, drives rotor one way, fuselage must rotate the other way.

The only way around it was like the Djinn, using jet reaction motors on each blade tip. Interesting idea, but horrendously noisy.
