These two videos together (AC + DC) taught me more about how motors work than several hours of university lectures. The information is very well presented.
Today Professors at Universities use MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS to teach these concepts which DRIVES CURIOUS ENGINEERING STUDENTS DEMOTIVATING THEM to study ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, we need Military type instruction like this.
these classic videos are so proper and simple to understand !!!! tells exactly what everyone needs to know !! old guys were best.wish if we are taught in this way !!
This video is proof that most of us and are children are being dumb downed by the public school system. When this video started I was like "what the hell is this old time sh*t". After watching it I have a full understanding of motors, generators, AC and DC current and feel like I can build my own generator to power my home. What makes a teacher good is their ability to make things easy to understand and this video did just that.Thanks for posting this !
As an instructor of this subject I use this same method and material to teach my students, in most cases i tend to get the point across. I refuse to stand in front of them and try to show them how smart I am by expressing theories and complicated equations because when they are tasked to bring an operation back on line they will not have time to pencil whip the problem they need to know what it takes to get it running again. I love this and i cant believe people pay me to know this.
beautiful presentation, wonderful. My question is why at the school of the metier he tells us the opposite of you .4 poles = 1200 rpm and in your video 4 pole = 600 rpm? Thank you in advance and congratulations for your video.
These films have summarized my 400 page text book in a very pleasant way. Don't know if there are similar serious videos.Excellent work. Thanks so much!!
Your example validates his statement perfectly. "I've seen loads of motors burned out because people don't understand how they work and why they fail" If the operator had a good understanding of how it works, then they could have operated it intelligently i.e. not burned the motor out. At not point did he say people how don't understand it aren't able to use it.
This I have seen when I went to Electrician’s Mate A school in Great Lakes IL, in 1960...best type of training at that time and presently. Keep up the good work...best videos ever.
Very good ! Thank you very much whoever posted this video! That was extremely educational for the roaring magnetic field motor I am currently building! Thank you!
it's amazing how this knowledge has not changed in all these years. Medicine now vs then. huge difference, most instruction videos would be wrong. A lot of other examples too. But this stuff is the same throughout years.
1915, Tesla wrote in his autobiography that he "dreamed up" about induction motor in 1882, by chance 3 years before Ferraris experience. No evidence support this claim. It was evidently an attempt to ripp off Ferraris by showing that he pre-dated him. Ferraris was a gentleman, the true forgotten genius, who never wanted to patent his inventions since he thought that none should take advantage from science. Tesla took advantage of Ferraris's honesty....
Tesla was first grade Serbian-American genius who could speak ten languages and who had patented over 130 inventions including that of AC-generator, but died broken and lonely in a single room hotel in NY. Edison, who had invested heavily on DC-technique tried his best to discredit AC-generators and Tesla. Edison electrified at lest an elephant using AC in public to demonstrate how ”dangerous” AC was, but it was Tesla who won the contract for the world’s first AC generator in Niagara Fall, NY
I had an exam on which half ot fhe topics were AC and DC motors. I understood nothing up untill the afternoon day before. Then I watched Part I and II, and the next day, I got a five. :D Kinda sas though, that I had no other choice, but to use material from 1961 (lack of university material)...
finally! THAT'S why DC is always positioned so far up on the Y axis in an oscilloscope....I always wondered the reason why, and teachers nor textbooks explained that to me..it's the combination of truncated ac amplitude levels :3
beautiful presentation, wonderful. My question is why at the school of the metier he tells us the opposite of you .4 poles = 1200 rpm and in your video 4 pole = 600 rpm? 4 x600 / 120=20 herz Thank you in advance and congratulations for your video.
Because the rotor is already magnetized by passing direct current through coils wound around salient poles attached to the rotor. Therefore, no current needs to be induced from the rotating magnetic field of the stator. It is also why the synchronous motor will not change speed under varying load conditions up to 150% overload since "slip" is not needed for the motor to produce torque.
Both live and neutral wires have the same potential difference between them. But only between them. One winding is grounded, so becomes neutral or the same potential as everything else except the other end of that winding which we keep separated to keep a potential difference or voltage between them which makes a current flow through our circuit. So there is actually 0V on both sides, but more between the two.
You're right however, think of it like this... In AC there is no polarity as in DC! The only reason for the different color wires is that one wire (The nuetral) is tied to earth ground inside your panel. The nuetral will alway be at 0 volts when refrrenced to ground. But 120V or 240V between white and black or red, dpending on application. A person satnding on the ground, if touching nuetral, should be safe. Yes, your wiring leads to the gens through transformers which drops the voltage.
Keep in mind that it takes both conductors from the generator, connected to a load, to complete the circuit and produce current flow. In your home wiring, current will flow out of one conductor into the other through the load it's connected to. Current will change direction 60 time a second. The neutral is tied to earth ground in side your eletrical panel making it the same potentail as ground. This is only for safty and why it's color is white and refered to as neutral.
2015 and we're still using these videos explaining things, made about 50 years ago... we're too busy making stupid videos that serve absolutely no purpose, then wonder why we have a bad economy and "no jobs"
The earth and neutral are tied together for several reasons I won't go into. We know a circuit means a closed loop is formed, and the only way to close that circuit is to touch the other end also, which is the "live" wire.
Movies like this are great. With all due respect to the viewers of the film who watched it in the 60's, it's just made for a complete idiot who has to start from scratch. A great way to start learning about electricity from scratch.
That's funny how it ended with "intelligent operation of such equipment," when was the last time you saw any one take into account how something works while they were using it? I've seen loads of motors burned out because people don't understand how they work and why they fail.
Present day Croatia maybe, but back then it was the Austrian Empire. So going by where he was born you'd say he was Austrian. His family was Serbian though.
I just want to say that nowadays and probably also when this video was shoot they use synchronous motor style structure as generators as well, in a way that the main current is produced in static armature and only small DC is applied to magnetize the rotor. Also, was 2/4* phase system really used as late as 1961? *4 if the two ground wires are not ground but minus potential compared to phase, they work just like American 120/240 split phase and produce 4 phases 90 degrees apart.
the neutral wire has no voltage meaning it's not pressurized. so regardless on how much the current is on the wire, there's no voltage, so no power, u wont feel anything.
@thescoob1111 So what? He gave up his European nationality and became a US citizen. His various inventions were done in USA and benefited USA. That is what is important.
Tesla was Serbian, don't take my word for it, check Wikipedia. He was hired by Edison after moving to America, who told Tesla that if he could improve any of his inventions he would give him a bonus of 50 000 dollars. Later, when Tesla presented him with the improvements he made, he simply said "you don't understand our American humor" and denied him the money. Tesla resigned without getting paid for the valuable work he had done for Edison. THEN he invented AC.
so basically if i want to build a simple four pole three phase generator i need to have 4 sets of 3 coils 120 degrees apart on 360 degree flat surface underneath 8 permanent magnets alternating in 360 degrees as N S N S N S

Ikr, whenever I want to learn something now, I turn to TH-cam videos like this
This video is proof that most of us and are children are being dumb downed by the public school system. When this video started I was like "what the hell is this old time sh*t".

I agree
Indeed:-)

these old school videos are actually very good knowledge presented very well. Great vid!
Why don't they make videos like this anymore?! Simple explanations of complicated systems in a clear, concise way. Invaluable.
This is very good indeed. The balance between the theoretical aspects and practical aspects is very carefully thought out.
Hands down better than any university lecture or my own college material, thank you to whoever posted this

Old school explanation. The only way to go.
It's about time I get an explanation I can understand. This is the best.
I'm a professor of physics and I wish I could explain as clearly and straightforwardly as these guys. Will take them as a model.
This I have seen when I went to Electrician’s Mate A school in Great Lakes IL, in 1960...best type of training at that time and presently. Keep up the good work...best videos ever.
this video is really informative.......i wld recommend it to all those who wld like to kno abt ac motors......
I really do respect these old days.
However, it is the sympliest and clearliest explanation I have ever heard :)
This is probably the best explanation i have had so far
Sir, indeed very Good explanation and visualization. It helped me a lot.
Very good !
Thank you very much whoever posted this video! That was extremely educational for the roaring magnetic field motor I am currently building!
Thank you!
Excellent information. This is real knowledge right here.
it's amazing how this knowledge has not changed in all these years. Medicine now vs then. huge difference, most instruction videos would be wrong. A lot of other examples too. But this stuff is the same throughout years.
Awesome video.Old is gold.❤❤❤❤
The best video out there
for AC machines!
Muito bom o vídeo! Bom trabalho!
i like these old and simply explained documentary movies.
The best explanation I have ever hear n seen :) thank u
The best explanation. Thumbs Up
I live in Ontario
Felt like I was an extra in a Gomer Pyle episode while I was watching this!
Nice information.

little did they know that 50 years later would they be helping me with my Physics homework :P
An Old Black and White (but Excellent, Educational and Correct) Documentary Film:
This is gold
thank you U.S. Army for this film!!
Very easy to understand, Beats textbooks!
finally! THAT'S why DC is always positioned so far up on the Y axis in an oscilloscope....I always wondered the reason why, and teachers nor textbooks explained that to me..it's the combination of truncated ac amplitude levels :3
just done 4 years of schooling made more sense from this in half an hour
amazingly explained..

God bless America
before watching this I was Knewing Shit abt 'Em... thnxxx 22 whoever made it

Thanks a lot ... so useful video.
2015 and we're still using these videos explaining things, made about 50 years ago... we're too busy making stupid videos that serve absolutely no purpose, then wonder why we have a bad economy and "no jobs"
There's just too much distance that you have to travel from the observation you took away from this video to the current economic status.
Those cat video making people NEED TO DIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are ruining the economy and making us lose jobs.
Sung Ji Cho lol
Ya man subscribe to PewDiePie...
llVIU 4 years later we have a president with a brain and the economy is booming and jobs are everywhere
This is very good.
amazing
nice
Thank you. Raphael Santore
The US military should update this videos
prettify it with CGI?
I love this!
Thank you !
thats awesome

1:29 is great!!
i dont know about that but im 100% sure he developed the one used in modern day and age and that saying something ;D
It's perfect.
Thanks
my latter observation proves true!
Present day Croatia maybe, but back then it was the Austrian Empire. So going by where he was born you'd say he was Austrian. His family was Serbian though.

*4 if the two ground wires are not ground but minus potential compared to phase, they work just like American 120/240 split phase and produce 4 phases 90 degrees apart.
the graph that shows at minute 15:37 is of a capacitive load
correct.
the neutral wire has no voltage meaning it's not pressurized. so regardless on how much the current is on the wire, there's no voltage, so no power, u wont feel anything.
I like

THEN he invented AC.
Where can i find more videos like this? Anyone know? :)
So a good AC traction motor would be a two phase synchronous motor.
Are Ac motors the same thing as AC generators, my professor mixes the term everytime he talks about it
Do we have alternators here?
AC Generator is a synonym for Alternator
Pay attention: 4:40
for the people who disliked this video ; WHAT YOU WANT ACTUALLY ?
@njdevil281 So what if he was one of the people that worked him that doesn't disprove him as the modern ac developer
same here
tesla was from croatia
Ποιο textbook χρησιμοποιείς;
@nmilance Nicola Tesla was american , he lived in the usa
Where can I find a Download link for this?
The video actually ends at 19:43
that's true
@TheCerberusInferno Nikola Tesla was Serbian.
so basically if i want to build a simple four pole three phase generator i need to have 4 sets of 3 coils 120 degrees apart on 360 degree flat surface underneath 8 permanent magnets alternating in 360 degrees as N S N S N S
My lecturer can go eat peanuts. This video is the bee's knees. And its from the 1960s. Who said the Cold War didn't help anyone?
there is an error...in 100% inductive loads...the voltage leads the current by 90 °C
"don't take my word for it...check Wikipedia"...too funny
