And his (PB's) theory on how this could be happening was so sad only the most ignorant 'can't find the US on a world map' and 'believes the sun orbits the earth' (both apparently a full 1/5th of the US pop.!) could fall for it.

Aether, reading between the lines, I get the impression that maybe you don't completely agree with my theory

I posted that about 2 weeks ago. The jist of it was that an alternating magnetic field passes through the shaft from the generator to the rotor and since it has a higher frequency than the source power, the motor acts a though it has more slip than before. More slip creates more torque, which causes the rotor to accelerate until a new equilibrium is established.

Do you have either (a) experimental results that disprove this theory; or (b) an alternative theory of your own?

My only reaction is 'you can't be serious?'

I hate it when I misunderestimate people. (note: I am using this Bushism in the same sense that people get on hearing Bush say misunderestimate, that any low estimation was apparently not nearly low enough)

Has anyone put a coil around the shaft to measure exactly how much magnetic flux is getting into the motor?

PB its me your evil twin mom says no more theories tonight its time for bed  Chet

Ramset your one liner are great. Thanks for the laughs.

Ramset, I appreciate your first and last comment, but I'm confused with the 'if we just listen sometimes we get to big for our own shoes' statement. Can you give me more insight?

Thanks,
Larry

25 gauss I believe Thane mentioned at one time.

I have also posted more than once on just how implausible any notible level of flux getting to the motor is.
