This is a AC electric motor acting as a generator. Basically what it is is a electric motor (for testing only, eventually will be a gas engine) driving a another motor that came out of a dryer i junked several years ago, they are brushless ac motors (induction) . the dryer motor (generator) has a capacitor wired in parallel to the power leads, i used 2 200v 220uf caps in series so it's 110uf at 400v, it should be more capacitance than that, around 200 or so, for best results. What i did is start the electric motor (testing only) then i plug the other motor in for just a few seconds to charge the magnets in the rotor, then unplug it then it starts generatoring around 117 volts ac. the more capacitance = more output power. I plan on working on this alot more this spring, this is just a test. i shouldn't have to charge the rotor each time, i don't why it ain't staying charged, i tried it without a load and it still did it, so i dont know. I'd appreaciate some tips on this one, thanks. and i now have a engine for this, will be more videos this spring/summer please subscribe!

  • Suggestion, tuck in your loose baggy shirt and roll up those long sleeves when working around exposed pulleys and belts, or take it off and wear a close-fitting short sleeve.

    If your shirt gets sucked in between the belt and pulleys, you'll end up with spinning death chewing into the side of your body real quick.

  • @DMahalko Thanks for the concern, i really appreciate it. This is a old video, i'm now more careful when i work on things, i don't even have long hair now haha i've got my hand stuck in belts/pulleys before, and since then i'm alot more carefull. Thanks for watching and showing concern.

  • ac motors are weird...

  • @a10fjet yeah they are haha thanks for watching

see all

  • Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always driving a another motor that came out of a dryer i junked several years ago, they are brushless ac motors (induction)

  • Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You driving a another motor that came out of a dryer i junked several years ago, they are brushless ac motors

  • I Really Like The Video From Your driving a another motor that came out of a dryer i junked several years ago, they are brushless ac motors

  • Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing driving a another motor that came out of a dryer i junked several years ago, they are brushless ac motors

  • @luckygen1001 hmm i thought it would be more than that. pretty good size motor. i love jacobs ladder haha i got like 4 videos on it haha heard that i'll check him out.

  • @fnaguitarplayer9 I used 65 microfarad with 5 caps. The 4hp motor is a 240/480volt twin voltage single phase. I saw your jacobs ladder video. I used a washing machine electric motor and a microwave transformer,it worked really well. I copied this idea from aussie50. he has a lot of videos on youtube.

  • @luckygen1001 good lord. what is your total capacitance? thats a pretty good load, you might be interested in my chicago electric generator test video i did a few weeks ago, i overload it haha yeah i'd like to see it.

  • @fnaguitarplayer9 I have two 5 gallon buckets full of capacitors. They were given to me. I would hate to have to pay for them. I tested the induction generator with two halogen heaters 2900 watts in total. It makes the 8 hp B&S motor work for its living. One of these days I will post a video of it running.

  • @luckygen1001 wow haha bet thats a good little generator haha yeah i need to make it, i need more capacitors thats whats holding me up right now haha thanks for watching

  • @fnaguitarplayer9 I did the same thing using a 4hp electric motor driven by a 8hp B&S motor. Thanks for posting your video. look forward to seeing the up dated video.

  • @fnaguitarplayer9 i will do a updated video on this soon, this ain't the greatest video out there on this subject haha and the update will be in HD of course haha

  • @1899lpv This dryer motor is stubborn to start, after i got a good engine to run it, i used the other motor that i was simulating the engine in this video as the generator and it doesn't even need primed each time it starts the rotor keeps a charge on some of them. But yes this setup in this video is 100% useless, it was just set up with a electric motor because at the time i didn't have a side shaft engine that ran. And to make a generator like this it has to be a induction / brush less motor.

  • @fnaguitarplayer9 To put in other words, you could install anything to "Prime" the dryer motor...examples: a wind or water turbine. Just like a car alternator. Could it be done with a forced air furnace blower motor ? I have one since last week and it says: AC Motor CAT 841cv HP1/3 RPM 1725 S.F 1.35 V 115 Hz 60 PH1 CODE n AMB 40ºC A 5.3 SFA 6.2 RATING Cont CL b MFG NO h87 4 Would it be simpler if I PM you some pictures ? and does it really matter if the motor has brushes ?

  • @1899lpv the dryer motor is the generator, the other motor is simulating a engine running the generator. All it does it turn the rotor on the dryer motor, it is not connected to the light or meter, just plugged straight into the wall, the light bulb is running off the dryer motor and capacitors. You can google induction generators for more info on how it works, i will do a update on this eventually. Hope this helps thanks for watching.

  • Now, the way I understand is, the old dryer motor is doing all the energy or both motors ?

  • your welcome. Its the same thing for any motor, only thing changes is the capacitance, and if its 3 phase the hookup of capacitors is different. this is not meant to produce free energy, its just a home made electric generator, only thing is at the time i didn't have a gas engine for it, now i do, thats why there was another electric motor driving the other motor (generator). more less a test to see if it can be done. thanks for watching.

  • Thank you very much for posting this as it has intrigued me for the longest. What would I need to make this happen with (2) 3HP electric motors? Your reply is greatly appreciated and thanks again for the contribution to the free energy community.

  • @regiomontano50 Hi. sorry i don't quite understand what you wrote... seen your video response...

  • HI BRODER I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH something similar with engines PUMPS MDEIOHP AND 1HP ACHIEVING DRAW GOOD PERFORMANCE JUST MODIFICANMIOS THE HALF HP AND DEVERIA BE 1HP TO BETTER REDIMINETO WRITE ME OR ENLASATE TO TEMPESTAD DEBUTED 50 in YUTUB GREETINGS
