I don't understand what's so hard to comprehend about this: less energy to move the motor faster.  Easy to understand.  I thought this was about watts not oranges. =D

OK, so little Jimmy buys 130 oranges from the market in Almonte. They cost a dollar each so he's paid, let's see, $130 for them. He then re-sells 7.7 of these oranges to a restaurant in Renfrew for the same price (he's not a capitalist). So he recoups $7.70 . He calls Larry to have him calculate how much money he's now paid for his 130 oranges. "Whoa " says Larry - you paid only $122.30 for 130 oranges.

Must be the new math, I guess

So you have just killed your own point.

If he paid $122.30 for 130 oranges that are selling for $1.00 a piece, then it is very good, because he got $7.70 of FREE money somehow
No?
2nd grade math?

OK, let me spell it out for you. I thought it was obvious but apparently not. Here's the rest of the story. Jimmy follows Larry's math and becomes very excited that he has such business acumen as to have got $7.70 of free money. Jimmy wants to share this good news so he calls adlep. "Adlep", he says, "come on over and count these 130 oranges that I bought for $122.30". Adlep rushes over to Jimmy's place to count the oranges he bought. Now, how many oranges does adlep find at Jimmy's place? He, of course, finds only 122.3 because the other 7.7 are now owned by the restaurant.

The result: Jimmy owns 122.3 oranges at a cost of $122.30, which makes, let's see, exactly $1.00 each.

U keep changing your story. Do not blame me for your own words:

"Whoa Cool " says Larry - you paid only $122.30 for 130 oranges.

@Thane,

I also had found that HIGH SPEED TEST-2 was interesting. Going from 130W at 3444 to 121W at 3461.

On my motor the listed rated max is 3450 or 4.2% slip. This is within the normal unloaded tested limit of ac induction motors of 2% to 10%. Don't know if it is with or without wheels. I can't check as my tach would be too flaky with a magnet on the small shaft at that RPM.

On the Ryobi it states 3600, which is calculated synchronous speed, but it shouldn't be attainable. Do you know or anybody with the Ryobi know what the max rpm is with no wheels? No google info

Thanks,
Larry


PS: It would also be a good milestone to set on the way to negative slip. It should get the skeptics howling like mad dogs at the moon.
