AI Thread Summary
TWM's 15 x 30-inch motor prototype is projected to generate 600 HP and 5,000 VAC, sufficient to power multiple pickup trucks, and is based on a superconducting design rather than conventional electric motor technology. The feasibility of this claim is debated, with some citing previous successful implementations of nitrogen-cooled superconductive machines that deliver high mechanical output in compact forms. Additionally, there is a discussion about the challenges of promoting renewable energy solutions, like a 12-foot Stirling dish, among neighbors, even those with scientific backgrounds, who resist innovative energy solutions due to aesthetic concerns or approval processes. The conversation highlights a broader struggle in adopting advanced energy technologies despite their potential benefits. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the potential of superconducting technology and the societal hurdles in embracing renewable energy initiatives.

TWM's 15 x 30-inch motor prototype is expected to produce 600 HP and 5,000 VAC -- enough to power a pickup truck. Is this claim really possible? I am not an electrical engineer. Please check the patent attached(link) here.

I have no idea if it's feasible..but note it's a SUPERCONDUCTING design not a conventional room temperature electric motor...
 
Thats actually enough to power two pickup trucks. But yes, I think its feasible. I've seen some nitrogen cooled superconductive machines before that can generate ridiculous amounts of mechanical work in very small packages.
 
Well, and, I've been trying to get my folks and their 4 neighbors to allow the installation of a 12' stirling dish that would supply 80% of their year-round electrical energy needs at a 4.5-year break-even point, but not for just one house-hold. For three.

They don't get it! Half of them are well-versed in the sciences, but even still, they're not willing to get involved. Some claim, "I don't think our architectural committe would approve," to which I would respond, PHOOEY! We're well beyond the point of where doing what's right is based on whether or not something "looks good."

And stirling dishes look good, at least the same as the dishes still sitting in their yards from 20 years ago.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
