Thane I'm always the late one at the party buuuuuut if the motor is running at 60hz then why do you expect it would run faster than 3600 RPM! Isn't the frequency not allowing higher rpm's? If I'm being ignorant please punish me.

WE ARE DESIGNING AND BUILDING A FREQUENCY DOUBLER SO WE CAN INCREASE THE INPUT TO 120 hz - THEN THE MOTOR'S NATURAL TENDENCY WILL BE TO RUN UP TO 7200 RPM.

EVEN AN INDUCTION MOTOR ACTS LIKE AN ALTERNATOR WHEN DRIVEN BY AN EXTERNAL SOURCE - SO WE SUSPECT THAT THE MOTOR IS WORKING AGAINST THE HV COILS AND PRODUCING A LIMITING EFFECT ON ACCELERATION AT 60 hz.

PERHAPS COLESTON WILL ELABORATE MORE ON THIS WHEN HE GETS BACK HOME TO TORONTO? 

HE SPENT 4 HOURS IN THE LAB - WHILE HIS FIANCEE WAITED IN THE CAR - HE EVEN WENT OUT FOR A SMOKE AND DIDN'T EVEN INVITE ME.  I FINALLY I HAD TO KICK HIM OUT SO I COULD GET SOME "REAL" WORK DONE AND TO SAVE HIS MARRIAGE.

I HOPE IT WAS WORTH THE 10 HOURS OF DRIVING COLESTON? 

CHEERS AND THANKS FOR THE BEER INVITE!

Myopia as metaphor:
The terms myopia and myopic (or the common terms short sightedness or short sighted) have also been used metaphorically to refer to cognitive thinking and decision making that is narrow sighted.

RESPECTFULLY YOURS (just barely)

6) WHEN THE HV COILS ACCELERATE THE MOTOR & ROTOR & DELIVER POWER TO THE LOAD - THEY DO SO WITH LESS TORQUE AND LESS POWER THAN IS BEING PROVIDED BY THE DRIVE SHAFT IN SCENARIO (3) OR 0 WATTS.

Well put something on... I feel uncomfortable talking to naked men.

I have a real problem with number six

PLEASE TELL US HOW YOU WOULD GO ABOUT EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY OF A WIND GENERATOR?

"Mechanical power in is calculated from torque and speed of the driving source ( prime mover). With a conventional alternator you will have direct mechanical losses from friction and windage that you can't avoid. If it is an iron cored machine then you will have iron loss in the form of eddy and hysteresis loss which you also can not avoid.
As soon as you connect a load then you also have a copper loss that is load dependent."
