I've spent 40 years in the electrical end of industrial machinery and I know a lot about motors and controls. Jeremey taught me a few things watching this video. Well done. Smart man and he knows what he's talking about.
I agree. When I started really tinkering and designing projects I've wanted to for years this is where I started. I think what I really like about his content is the layers. It probably took me (from zero) three years to completely grasp the information in this video and actually apply it. I'd watch it and then learn basics about electrical circuits. Come back apply the electrical design knowledge and get more from videos like this. It wasn't until I was designing my own vfd for my lathe to run a three phase motor that everything sank in and there's probably so much more I still don't know. "There are known knowns..." Haha Donald Rumsfeld always comes to mind when I think about the fact there's information I don't even know I'm missing but yeah man it's been two years. Come back and see if there's even more you might learn.
I have been through high school and collage for Electrical Engineering but none of the teachers could explain these principles in such an easy to understand manner, I am truly in awe. Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge!
There's No use for an education that doesn't teach you how to figure things out yourself. If there was, you'd be taught the basics so you can build upon them and actually learn the subject matter. Memorization is not knowledge. Information/data is not knowledge. A book on a shelf or an internet search engine is not knowledge. Applying information to your daily life is knowledge. If you can't make it work then you do not know it.
Jeremy, you are fantastic at getting your message and knowledge across to us. You have a great blend of taking technical specifications and merging it to real world applications. Keep up the great work, I can’t stop watching your videos and I’m excited to see more.
@@ruinunes8251 I imagine he would check that before dragging it home lol, he seems a little to intelligent to make that sort of mistake. I on the other hand have made that mistake 😂🤣 I'm so glad I have come across this channel as I've been dragging all sorts of appliances home and taking the motors out of them with the intention to learn how to reuse the motors, I've got milk crates full of motors now and finally I've found someone that explains things in a way I can understand. This is the first of his videos I have seen and I subscribed in the first 2 mins.🙌🙌😁😁
True, so hard to find such a nice american just not thinking USA is the entire world. And also, very nice accent, I'm not english speaker and I understood all of it... well I had to google what a treadmill was lol
@@JP-xd6fm You realize that this is how most middle class people speak in the U.S., right? Also you are on a platform based out of our country. So who is the one being rude saying you should be included?
@@iian_ Sorry, movies, music ant tv gave me a bad idea of how the afro-american people speaks, for example for me is hard to follow Dave Chappelle's stand up or Chris Rock, maybe also because they speak so fast, lol. What do you mean I'm in a platform based out of your country? , I don't get that.
@@iian_ What is that supposed to mean? "RU-vid is American, so everyone outside the US should either stand in line or fuck off" ?? Im guessing that kind of thinking is the exact thing Francisco, backed by J P meant.
Can't recall seeing anything on yt without at least a few loudmouth know-it-all/troll comments...I scrolled down a good 2-3 pages & only saw gratitude & respect... & I totally agree with them. Good work man. I wish my organize could mind function so & effectively!
Just excellent. Its rare to find someone with such a complete understanding of a subject able to share it seemingly effortlessly. I don't know if you are a teacher in your paid profession but you sir have a gift. First visit. Subbed. Thank you.
I’m on my girl friends RU-vid account, she’s not interested in this topic but I am, and you’ve answered quite a few questions in a practical application format. Now the only challenge is remembering!
@Jeremy Fielding You rock! I stumbled onto your channel and I love how you explain what something is and how the everyday person can do something with it and how they can get it! You have quickly become one of my top 5 channels to watch and get information from. You don't have filler fluff, your information is on point, your easy to understand, and you update your videos with the links you do in future videos!! Love the channel, Keep up the superb content!!!
Jeremy, you have no idea how happy I am to have found your channel, I recently was lucky enough to land an operator job in a power plant off the street where they are going to "train/school" me on the job, I was struggling with all the various motors that we use on different types of equipment and the way you teach and the knowledge you have is truly a blessing, thank you so much for your time in making videos and teaching others man, I greatly appreciate it!
Dude, you are an absolute legend. Clear, straight to the point, no excess fluff in the script. Subscribed and notifications. Plus this comment in case it helps the algorithm.
I've been called a hoarder because i save perfectly good motors out of things. at work we replaced an 800 dollar pump, i took it home and removed the pump and swapped the squeaky bearing and it works great. I wish more people would realize that its not trash and things can be fixed.
Components with smaller components can only need a small component but is the time for diagnosing, looking for those specific parts, chances of wrecking more things and down time of the equipment worth it? I personally think that learning to breakdown and understanding components to it's smallest component have some utility but the industry for the most part doesn't - except for people who work on machinery I'd say.
This is amazing. I've been wanting to get into re-purposing motors for some time but was too intimidated. This was an awesome summary and I'm going to watch the rest of your stuff linked here. Keep it coming!
Riley, Im Making small electric tools out of small 12v dc motors now. I am working on a 20 cm tall belt grinder at the moment, Great for kids to get started with.
I can't sufficiently state my appreciation for your videos, Jeremy. Thank you. Really. I had so many questions regarding re-purposing electronic components, and you're knocking them down in multiples in every post. Amazing.
Jeremy, welcome to the hall of heroes ... this is an awesome video.. I'm restoring a band saw right now, and i have plans that include a need for your tutorials... I'm glad I ran across your site.. intelligent, eloquent, 'smart' (shows in your demeanor and presentation) and a very likable guy... may you prosper greatly.
Big fan of yours from Pakistan. i am a mechanical engineer and i always watch your stuff before doing some of my own DIY. especially in concept building.
Wow! I came across RU-vid video that I actually enjoyed watching because there was loads of information squished into it, pretty well zero run a round, and no stupid music! Have my sub, great job! 😉
I've never been interested in motors before. I'm more into engines. I however couldn't resist this video. The information density in there is just incredible. Thank you for taking your time to share your knowledge and experience
I always enjoy your videos Jeremy. But this series is the very best for explaining a difficult concept. I have an associates degree in electronics and an engineering degree besides, but until I watched the series, I hadn’t realized how much I was missing. Thank you very very much For the great job you do on all these videos.
Can't wait to find the first negative comment about this 'insensitive' way of telling it as it is. As for me, I liked it :-) Way too much political correctnes out there.
If the fat kid just had lunch, he has to sit closer to the FULL-CRUM while the skinny kid farther from the the fulcrum or the see-saw will be tilted to one end and the skinny kid could fly over the fence. :/ that's torque in PCics.
@Eric Cartman There is nothing "un-PC" about calling people fat, idiot. You're not leading a counterculture revolution just because you revel in being insensitive. That goes for all of you.
First time I've ever broke out the notepad during a RU-vid video. Thank you for this. Awesome work chock-full of information in laymen's without showing off and confusing newbies with veteran(industry insider) terminology and useless reteric like a lot of other channels.
OMG information overload! WOW! This feels like the video component of a solid motor reference article. Something written that's easy to refer back to would be amazing - but what a fantastic video!!!
really good video i didn't give electric motors much thought and now i'm considering them for a special project...these might be even better than what i had in mind thank you for the info
This is professional grade education material IMO.. I often wonder if YT will ever try and find the best videos of every topic and start an actual university out of it?
Thank you for this very good explanation of the different types of electrical motors. As a cnc machinist i often have to do with those different motors. And now iam trying to build a industrial robot by myself(just like you). I have good skills in fusion 360 and programmed much functions on the Postprocessor on my own. I got all what i need cnc lathe, cnc mill and a good Boss, that gives me the freedom to do my projects as well. I do this because i want to adapt the electrical and physical side of Engineering this would complete my knowledge to build machines. Again: thank you!!!!
First time watching this guy. I am hooked! This was amazing. So much information, so well spoken. As an educator, I will be analyzing his delivery as well as use the content in my DIY projects. Thanks!
Every time I watch this video I think about how we should be able to sticky essential videos like this :) This should be on the essential watching list 😀
I watched one of your videos and really liked it. Then I somehow lost your channel. Glad i found it again. Subbing so i dont lose it. You make great content
You really did a great job of articulating the usage of motors for future use. I would imagine that after you brought home a few “curb side freebies” you have a lot of scraps to deal with. Thanks for sharing this information, you really did do a great job.
hey Jeremy thanks for the tips on the electric motors its nice to know how they differ from one another and the application for the different type and ive used a tredmill power supply for my grinder and it worked perfect
For anyone interested but unable to get a sewing machine pedal , I took the heater wire out of a broken fan heater and used some to make a high power, low voltage dc rheostat. Dirt cheap!
Dude. Dude, dude, dude. This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. About to create my own dust collection system for my shop and am going to pick up a 5hp leeson and 3 90v dc Motors for dirt cheap. I understand electrical because of my trade but wanted to understand the exact differences in different motors out there. We only use single phase induction Motors. Thank you!!!
Wish I could get my hands on free treadmills. Where I live, even if it broken, people will still try and make money of them. Great Video. Half way through video I paused and shared the link with friends before continuing watching to the end.
this guy is awesome, i came across this channel solely bcos i'm trying to put up a wood chipper for my gardening works around my house. i'm slowly learning on this and hope the his videos cud help me later.
@@REL602 Motors, especially AC motors, like many aspects of engineering, are subject to the "Feynman Effect" - haha. You have a motor, connect power and it spins. What's so difficult? You can teach an electrician to memorize by rote how to connect motors, 12 wire alternators, etc. But when you try to explain why motors are designed as they are, or why they behave as they do, the explanation explodes. This is the Feynman Effect, where one question leads to another, almost without limit. To fully understand an AC electric motor, there are so many things, hundreds and hundreds of things you need to understand -- and some of it gets very mathy -- that it's hard to decide what to leave out of an explanation. That's what's going on in the video. To make a useful 20 minute presentation, you have to leave out 99 percent of the subject. But which parts do you leave out and still give the viewer useful information? This is a difficult thing to attempt. I know because I've done this myself. Anyway, that's where my compliment is coming from.
Thumbs up from another member of the International Brotherhood of Dumpster Divers :-) Now I always look for larger fat kid ratings on the motor data plates... :-)
Man, you rock! Concise and informative, very well put together, and you ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!! I immediately subscribed, and am very much looking forward to seeing your other stuff. Good thing you don't live close by (or you might, never know lol) because i would always be at your place! lol You're not the guy who invented the car that runs off of water, are you? Lol
Thankyou Jeremy for your fine work. You clarified the conservation of energy principle brilliantly with your words...there's got to be a trade off between speed ( angular velocity ) and torque....simple clear terminology which I've never heard before. I will use your good work in experimental activity of my own, which includes Hydrogen fusion, Hydrogen manufacture, mechanical energy production etc.
In his videos there are lots of information which are good not only for students but also even engineers, I suggest all students become member of Jeremy site and learn many technical information , His videos are excellent for understanding of science.
I have a 2.85hp treadmill motor and controller. I was thinking of using it on a drill press to allow me to have a speed controlled drill press for drilling in stainless steel. Nothing thick or big just need it to turn real slow to keep from burning my bits up. It sounded like you said it would work if I used pulleys to add torque. I plan on doing that but wanted to double check with you before building a mount. Thanks so much for doing these great videos!!!
A lot of great practical knowledge in rapid:fire mode. Electric moders have a lot of configurations. This guy has experienced a bulk of scenarios. Pay attention and watch it over and over
