Induction Motor Builds & Experiments: What PSU to Use?

AI Thread Summary
For induction motor builds and experiments, a suitable power supply unit (PSU) is an AC motor drive, which can provide multiple outputs and phase control. Hobbyists are increasingly using three-phase appliance motors for generator applications, enhancing their versatility. The Fisher Paykel PMG is mentioned as a relevant example for those interested in this area. The discussion emphasizes the need for a bench-top system capable of supplying out-of-phase outputs. Overall, selecting the right PSU is crucial for successful experimentation with induction motors.

So if you wanted to do some induction motor builds and experiments, what PSU would you use. I guess I am looking for a bench top AC multi output system that has ability to supply out of phase 2nds and maybe 3rd??

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
