Smartdrive deconstructed

A Fisher and Paykel smartdrive washing machine 'converted' to a generator. Those of you who understand generators/motors should see the potential immediately. These are normally referred to as brushless DC motors even though they generate 3 phase AC

How much power and torque is rated for? Any idea? Volts, Amps and Watts if you prefer.Thanks

[FBRK8R]

@marcheseDS they are good for about 1500 watts, voltage increases with speed while current remains constant. The highest voltage I have achieved is just over 700 volts at 2 amps, between one phase and neutral. I didn't want to spin it any faster due to the instinct of self preservation.

felicidades,,, se que en poco tiempo se va a desarrollar a gran escala este tipo de energia,,,, a pesar de las empresas peroleras que bloquean estas investigaciones

@arqmarioesqueda Don't think the oil companies could block this even if they wanted to, as these machines are available pretty much anywhere. Go to your local tip and look for a fisher and paykel washer or a whirlpool cabriolet. No free energy here, just a plain old mechanical to electrical energy converter

WOW it puts out a lot of power just by simply rotating it by hand. You should make a wind turbine of one.

I am planning on it, but first I must win the lottery so I don't have to waste my days at work (sighs loudly). By the way thanks for subscribing

Hello,I'm jack ....I really need a help in a very important situation . I need to buy a motor of this properties (AC Synchronous motor 3-phase {Permanent Magnet} PROTOTYPE)(That have this specifications power=1/6hp=1/8hp and speed range begins from 20 rpm to anything) Can anyone help me telling me about a place or a company that i can get it from it and how much is it? finally ,thank you

Have you tried replacing the magnets with neodymium ones? It should provide alot more amps.
