Mmm
Well on closer inspection,you could be right Rusty. It did look like the thick red wire was a jumper,but it could be coming out from the box on the generator.
This actually makes more sense,as that would confirm a very small 240 volt AC motor inside the large green motor housing.
I agree that the generator houses a battery and inverter.

Loved your mini version.
Can you do it without the cap?

  Thanks.  I am having lots of fun with the little motor generator I made.  It doesn't need the cap and I have been running it several different ways.  It is really is a mechanical DC to DC voltage booster.  If I run it on 1.5v I get about 4.5v at the generator.  Too bad it pulls 90mA to do that but hey there is no free ride--except maybe in Pakistan?

Even better version of the shaded pole one:

It looks to me that the capacitor is not really a capacitor but a battery? May be the original capacitor was gutted and a super cap or a button battery was put inside the original capacitor housing and it was then sealed with some hot-melt?

I do not understand the shaded pole motors well enough to know whether it would run on DC.

There are at least two presentations on YouTube of the same thing from different authors.

Greetings, Conrad

P.S.: May be it needs two shaded pole motors connected with a belt to make them run with a DC power source (battery or super cap). One motor is poled in reverse to the other and they are always in the start up mode (pulled along by the shaded poles)?

I believe that is a 50 Hz hum that we hear toward the end.  Why would it make that noise if not on the grid somehow?  As Brad mentioned, he did not pick it up so, maybe his wires are hidden under the paper?


How do you think he did this?  I am still confused by the Chinese guy's version.

Yes
I am stuck on that one to ATM.
