I like your oil heater, could you tell me more on that setup?

I just took a look at the devices, I see you can have single phase input power and get 3 phase output, now I see how you did this, great idea to get some extra G's, I would assume you get a lot better results for yor oil. Where can you find one for around $100? The ones I am finding are hitachi and run for about 180.

I'm not the best with electrical design, but can you use a standard 60hz motor for 3450 RPM for that? It sounds like you said you did. How did you up the frequency to get 6000 rpm? Is it a special component you had to build or is it some soecial invertoer you purchased?

The motor is a standard 3450 3phase motor controlled by a VFD inverter controller set to 100Hz instead of standard 60Hz frequency to get 6000rpm. The purpose is to increase the G force from 1200 to 3600. These VFDs are going for about $100 now in 1/2hp rating.

cool, thanks alot! Do they sell this invertoer for single phase applications?

Sweet Setup! Can't wait to see the oil come out of it
