Hi Lee, I thought your tricoiler would get up to 5000 rpm? with a 6 pole rotor then that would make it 500hz, no?
I just thought that was interesting since just over 500hz is pretty much the max frequency I can achieve with mechanical as well... haven't tried the snake eggs though ^_^
Nice work! These are great devices. Here in the USA, "lamp oil" is really nothing more than colored kerosene. I don't know what its flash point is but, you are atomizing it and you may have some trouble if it finds an ignition source. Just a word of caution. I love the container idea but I have no idea how you start it. Mine is on a flat plate and is stable at speed but when slowing back down....look out. Great video, 5 stars.
very nice work, 5*****,
A greetings

Teflon spray is supposed to work better than oil, just like in big machines

In tests lubricating bearings lamp oil was much better than teflon spray but in this application teflon would be safer.

Bill,
You are correct which is why to door was wide open. I do find it tempting to find out just how explosive thismist could be! Maybe not..

Nice... I wonder if you went to a lighter oil like dura lube...
