Hello! The comment about "specifically the US" is about single phase power... Some countries (like Germany) have three phase power and don't require a start winding. We have both 120 and 240 volts in every house in the US. In fact the motor in this video is 240 volts. So what is single phase? I explain that in this video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZIyNxraol7rJeaQ.html

@thx1138 ib3 but to answer your original question, 3 phase power is inherently "rotating - the AC in the legs is 120 degrees off. But when you have single phase power - whether it 120 volts or 480, there is no rotation, single phase power just goes up and down, up and down. And lets say you take two of the three legs of a 380Y220 volt, 50 hertz supply in Germany, it is still only back-and forth without rotation. So there is an additional, partial winding, slightly out of phase with the main winding which provides the initial "kick" to get it turning. Sometimes this winding is helped with a capacitor (capacitor start) or not using a capacitor at all (split phase). But... three phase is inherently rotating and a LOT simpler, regardless of voltage or frequency.

Fun Anecdote about this, because I do this too: during a class in college, my instructor asked us how many GPS/GNSS satellites it takes to get a position. Anyone that had an answer said 3, and were baffled to find they were wrong. Lucky for me, I had watched a video explaining how GPS/GNSS works just a few months before. I was able to explain how 4 were required to compensate for time deviation, because the satellites are travelling fast enough that there is a significant error in the equations if time deviation is not accounted for. "Gobsmacked" is exactly the word to describe the class, and the teacher was quite impressed. So preload on! It's actually saving me in my college studies.

Same mechanism was used for steam engines to separate power from them, when the wheel was spinning too fast. It got history in steam engines.

Just so you know, whenever there's a capacitor involved make sure it's discharged before you go poking in there. Capacitors can kill. Normally you just wait several minutes after unplugging the device, and/or turn it on unplugged (some devices have been known to run for a fraction of a second when powered on unplugged, that means something is storing juice). Then using a screwdriver touch both contacts to make sure there's no spark flying.

This is the first video of Jeremy's that I have seen. I think he had a very strong set of mentors to guide his thinking process. His approach is very much like what I had in my early mechanical development. I had 3 gentlemen that guided me to a strong mechanical field in the military, thermonuclear missiles. I taught repair and assembly for over 6 years and managed the extension course while teaching for another 6 years. I miss the teaching. My mentors were diverse. One owned a repair garage and yes, he taught me a lot of thinking processes. I had the chance to learn tune ups from him. Did my first one on my 10th birthday. Second was a watch repairman. Same skills, but on a much smaller scale. Plus, anything we couldn't fix that the owner didn't want, I hung up in a tree and we would shoot a 22 at it until it fell apart. Last was an engineer. I never did find out what type, but his analytical mind was used to refine my thinking in an awful lot of applications. Jeremy, thanks for bringing back many memories and some of the best explanations of different motors for the novice to learn from. Keep on teaching. MSgt David R. Smyth, USAF, Ret.

Poverty has taught me that if it's broken, even if I might destroy it completely, I'd might as well try to fix it, because I certainly can't afford a new one. Amazing how many times the broken part is a stupid little plastic piece, which can sometimes be glued back together or even replaced with something I carve myself out of another piece of plastic. Other times, it's just a loose wire, or a tiny piece that I can replace from the hardware store. My "destroy" versus "repair" rate has gone up and down over the decades, and the downs are mainly on the device makers, creating no-repair appliances that have every intention of forcing you to buy a new one.

Use caution when handling capacitors. They can hold a charge for some time even after AC power has been disconnected.

Just lick your fingers and push then on the contacts. After that they should be discharged and you can safely handle them without worrying about arching them on metal objects.

I promise you will only have to do it once. Much like being told not to touch something hot as a kid. No one ever believes it is that big of a deal until it happens to them. I got lucky mine was ~25 years ago installing a car stereo; I shorted a 0.5 Farad cap and it scared the shit out of me. Few years ago I saw a maintenance guy in a factory crawl inside a huge industrial milling machine to do an electrical repair. He locked-out and all the routine safety stuff, but didn't have on his ESD gear and didn't think twice about the multiple 5 Farad caps used for starting the huge motors. Apparently it got him good cause he went to the hospital on a gurney.

I don't know the exact technological lineage, but you could imagine this being a further development from the ideas that led to the centrifugal governor for mills and later on steam engines. It was invented by genius polymath Christiaan Huygens in the 1600's!

I kept the old motor and now I'm going to try to fix the centrifugal switch.

You'd better be very careful! A little insight can be a very dangerous thing for all. Know your limits. Sticking a s rewdriver in the wrong place can touch a capacitor with many jewels of energy which can in some cases send you across a room without your feet touching the floor. Even a simply camera flashgun has that on a smaller scale. Many a pro' has reached in a fountain to osh out their expensive flash and been taken to hospital. sStudio tech's musicians and their "roadees" are at most risk just by pulling a plug on a fully charged capacitor.

You are one smart dude! Thank you for your your videos. I really enjoy you narration and warnings.
