  • I'm amazed you got so much power from that loose belt and motor and generator setup. The arc's were huge... To demonstrate how much power it is try and drive the generator with a modified exercise bike yes..your leg power. Most fit athletes can only manage about 300~500Watts for less that 30 seconds and be exhausted. A House hold may use 10Kva during peak period...we use a lot of power. A typical JUG uses 2400Watts to boil water.

  • @bjtaudio Yes, but that belt is very heavy and it is intended to be loose, not tight.

    That belt can easily transfer some tens kW of power. Yes, as funny as it sounds, that long belt is actually transferring all that power there :)

  • where did you get that transformer

  • Awesome experiment. Magic set up with the 3 phase motor and transformer, The motor start sound is awesome.

    Keep up the good work.

    Need to see more of this stuff on YouTube.

  • The sound of that motor firing up is so epic.

  • @DJSpikesan Yep, the electric chair operates at around 2KV and is current limited to 6 amps. The current passes through the brain, and at average unconsciousness occurred within the first cycle of the mains or less than 20milliseconds. This was critical as the idea was that the accused was to feel no pain. This was the initial hit then a low voltage like 500Vac was used to slowly cook the person destroying the body. 20KV at high current could quickly burn track and flashover, and make a mess!

  • you know... this almost seems like what would be in an electric chair setup. just not that much voltage.
