    my wife says you talk weird
  • @cfeigel
    Look at the nameplate? Dangerously close to reading the instructions. It's a slippery slope, my friend!
  • Speaking as an electrical engineer, you have provided a major public service here, unlike any in my memory, and I am 70. Kudos and thank you.

    never again will I underestimate the hydraulic power of bread.
  • My electrician friend accidentally blew the power to the ice making factory. Now they've gone into liquidation.
  • I’m a degreed and licensed engineer and have been practicing for over 35 years and your practical approach and clear presentation of engineering principles is amazing. You should teach!!

    The breadth of knowledge this man holds in his head is absolutely astonishing to me. I want to find something he doesn't know more about than I do so I can get a little bit of my ego back. Love these videos!!

    "you can piss more current than that" - AvE best sentence ever XD

    The analogy my prof. gave for power factor was helpful. Pour a beer, the reactive power is the foam, real power is the actual liquid, and both together is the apparent power. And as for removing bearings, bar soap works well if you don't have grease or bread.
  • The ladies they thought it was dead He said he could fix it with bread With a hammer and punch a creak and a crunch Now it runs like a crack head

    Every time I see that work bench I have flashbacks to my tours of an old motor service shop I used to be a customer of. Only thing missing are cigarette burns on the edges,( from forgotten smokes- old school rules applied), and a thousand coffee cup rings. Oh, and that unique smell- burnt windings, tobacco, and the tears of a thousand patrons who learned the bitter truth about their motors.... Those were the days....

    Looks like your daughter went wild with the stickers

    As a 51 year old child, I love that I learn something new every time I watch your vids. Thanks for all your consistency!
  • @mjodr
    You just removed a bearing with bread. I've seen you do some amazing shit, but this takes the cake. Hundreds of hours of watching your videos justified.
  • @t17389z
    I swear I absorb more information from these videos than I do from any of my University mechanical/electrical engineering classes. Which is probably a good thing since I swapped my major to engineering management

    I've worked around/with induction motors most of my life. This has been a great learning vid. Companies always just replaced these things at first sign of wear, and never cared if dragged them home. I never knew enough to bother stockpiling them, as I was told they are not rebuildable. ... Today is a new fooking day my friend.

    I remember me sitting in the electrical machinery course I - motors....he went on and on about motors...and i didn´t undersand a single thing...instead i went to a local used parts shop and got me a 100W induction motor and opened it and test the thing troughout...it helped me a lot about how these things works...about the same as you done here....experiments are fun. Thanx for this one :)
