Steel alloy synchronous motors are like asteroids: their only terminal velocity is what has yet broken them. What a mighty beast and oh how great luck I am to witness such magnificence.
Can you imagine the starting torque and the electrical demand if the stator was permanently stationary? It would probably register on the transmission grid every time. Temporarily swapping the roles of the rotor and stator is a clever way to get it started efficiently…
So is that wheel the operator is spinning some sort of "clutch" and is the big rotating thing at the start just a flywheel that stores a ton of kinetic energy that's gradually transferred to the actual load on the motor through that "clutch"? Idk what else to call it im probably wrong but this thing is cool as hell
Wherever this is has no OSHA apparently. Having a motor spinning that gast without a protective enclosure is an amputation waiting to happen. All they need is a removable cage. Just something to keep someone from accidentally (opposed to purposely) falling and catching an arm in the rotor.
Wow, that’s not terrifying.. idk what it is about old machinery but it just unsettles me… probably the crude simplicity combined with lack of safety measures
perhaps it could be used as a synchronous condenser in a vintage substation.

He forgot to use his turn signal.
Why is the stator spinning
This is the most "Half Life" thing you can see in the engineering room.
Bro was purging the reactor at the start there. (Alien Isolation reference)
So this motor has StaRotor or RoStator or whatever :D
is he turning a variac ?!
Even the stator is rotaring!!!????😮
why do you need brakes? why can't you just use air resistance to fight inertia?
I’ve seen this video a dozen times and it still thrills me
Invasive thought: Touch it..

❤❤❤❤❤
When does the field excitation get applied? Does it just build up automatically? Or applied gradually as brake is applied?
Wounded how long it took to figure that out way back in 1907?
what the hell this thing power to, look like so heavy, it drive a factory machine and building itself or
YT gold
imagine just putting your finger nails to it and it sucked your whole body in
What is this used for?
It sounds like a air conditioning unit turning on when the motor starts up
I thought of chopper rotors, could almost swear it's copypasted.
I believe the two guys on the left are operating the turbo encabulator.
💪👍❤️❤️
The rotor sounds like a diesel engine at idle when the rotor is at peak rpm
I think more people would buy electric cars if they sounded like this.
WOW! When that motor hit full speed, that would have outright scared the shit out of me. LOL
that thing is TERRIFYING on startup holy shit
It's not a stator but a rotor. The fixed coils is the stator.

I wonder how many amps this thing was pulling at the very beginning?
All that hp and torque , being fed theough a rubber belt
Sick beat
The start up noise reminds me of that one meme
Wow!
isn't it scary having tons of Metal spinning around with tousend of RPM
Hey this is a clever design feature. The stator doubles as a fly wheel.

The induction motor stops at exactly the same position it started.
A beast! What manufacturer and age is it?
Get that sound out of an ev, people will buy that.

How does this work???
0:03 thats the sound of pure electrical current🔥🔥
Reminds me of my old sewing machine.
Why did i had to watch this....
I wish we had a newer video and more details about this motor
ganz toll dass hier auch so viel dazu erklärt wird muss man sich alles selbst aus der nase ziehen erbärmlich
Yellow fencing how cute
So what’s the point?
I seen 3 phase dc. And a nuclear powered battery.
