I have hooked windings up to mains power in series with a suitable load to limit current. Probing around carefully with a screw driver can go a long way to identification. The last one I did was a 15 HP motor so I had the luxury of not worrying about current getting too high. Windings would...

I will state that alot of this is above my head but I have often wondered the same thing about the speed of light. Why is it what it is and not something else? I have watched threads that discuss this and am always disappointed to see the answer of "because the meter is the length that it is"...

Smart TVs will do updates from time to time. I would not be surprised if the update is what actually caused the issue.

I googled first cathode ray tube and got some hits that should give you some information. Volta had invented the electrochemical cell by the time experiments were being done with cathode ray tubes.

My intent here was to share a video. It right, it's wrong, it's whatever. I'm not claiming the existence of magnetic monopoles. Watch the video, or don't. That's it, I'm done. - Edit: My phrase "special case" might not be mentioned specifically in the video. Obviously I'm not going to link the...

This is the one I'm referring to. It has been a while since I watched it. There are other YouTubers that have made videos that agree.

As I understand it, you can have an electric field without a magnetic field. But you cannot have a normal circuit current without both. Do what I said and find the videos. Non-conservative fields are a different situation such as a changing magnetic field inducing a current in a closed ring...

As I understand there really is no magnetic field. Or more precisely said, a magnetic field is a special case of an electric field. - Get on YouTube and have a look. Be careful though, YouTube contains plenty of garbage. There are several channels you can trust that I believe explain this...

@Muu9 there are a handful of threads here from previous years that talk about the so-called Lewin paradox. I posted quite a lot in one of them that went a bit crazy. Alot of the controversy in it dealt with test lead positioning and whether it's possible to come up with a way to measure places...

I watched the video posted at the beginning of this thread and I admit I did skip through parts of it. I will likely watch it again at some point. - I find he seems to fall into the same trap that many folks do concerning circuit analysis. Circuit analysis says that the magnetic fields must be...

Yes. It is referenced in many places that discuss this disagreement.

Pretty sure that the original claim that kirchoff is for the birds was done before YouTube existed. Most every YouTuber's goal is to get lots of views. But not all. As far as I know most of the folks supporting Lewin's position are commenters and folks who come on forums and social media. There...

And if one tries to demonstrate in other ways how the system falls apart when the rules are broken it does nothing. I can think of endless demonstrations to 'blow their minds' and then try explaining that the demonstration violated the rules, etc etc...........and it does nothing. - To me, it's...

I assume the 130 volts was measured from the wye node to each VFD output? Sounds about right. You will probably not be able to makes sense on any scope with the voltage to earth moving around like that. I wonder what would happen if this wye node were tied to neutral through another incandescent...

Ok. So you are assuming the voltage spikes won't damage the motor during testing I assume.
