you should get a scope and test the two motors at the same time to make sure they're in sync. If they're slightly off and you hook them together in any way, they wont work efficiently at all (they'll work against each other and overheat) A scope is the only way so you can see the wave form of both at once and you can adjust the stators as required until the waves line up perfectly.
I am also researching power generation and I have a lot of that you will be interested in. you can get a lot more power from that system... link me up...

Many thanks for your reply. I am thinking of building a wind turbine because diesel fuel is very expensive in Denmark. 1 liter diesel oil costs around. 2.25 AUD
I think those "dish shaped" motors out of a top loader washing machine are the same that LG is building into "DirectDrive" front loaders machines here in Europe, if you are lucky enough to find one of them as scrap you may use it
Running these in series means you must guarantee the electrical phasing is correct, just a few degrees between the motors means you will get the voltages canceling. Best option is to put one microwave transformer on each motor. Then just series the microwave transformer outputs.
Thanks for the complement!, I figured the voltage frequency or somthing wasn't alligning properly. the splines on the shaft are not alligned at the factory since one end just has the washer drum on it normally.
I'm set up to run with the JAP engine soon, I'll try putting the MOT outputs in series :D

I' can't get this type of generator i Denmark. Can you name the price in USA -please
MrGoto102 2 years ago
To ship to Denmark?
I'm in Australia so I don't know what US$ it would cost, but I am guessing over $125 AUD for a bare stator and rotor.

I just realised I was talking total crap about the transformers being in series. This wouldnt help as the suffer from phasing too.
Best to get a two channel oscilliscope and find the phases that match. You can series these nicely. You may need to trim one motor angle slightly.

I like your stuff. You are a do-er. Awesome!

cooled you tell us how many watts the motor is

I'm not sure what the smart drive's output wattage is but the drive motor is 2 Horsepower.
The lights dim when I run them in series too.

good work bro
this is an awsome test rig

cool video did u make the gen?

I built the whole rig using parts from the first one that was engine driven.
Just machined new center flanges for the new motor.
