    Moss's channel was my entertainment for a long time. Until I couldn't find anymore videos I haven't watched yet LOL.

    That thing sounded like Ghostbuster’s Ecto 1 siren when it spun up 😂

      Yup, it does. It startled me a bit when it started. I don't know what I expected, maybe for it to ramp up or something. Neat how electricity works!

      ​@@roundtailrestoration- It actually should have been very quiet. The noise it made it indicates the commutator is in need of "dressing" -- that is being trued on a lathe and the mica between the segments undercut. An old Motors or Chilton repair manual details this work.

      Thanks, I didn't realize that. Something I'll have to pay attention to. No noise yet that has made me nervous.@@Inflec

      A generator (not alternator in newer cars) and a motor are essentially the same thing electrically. In a motor, you apply electrical power and it spins. A generator is opposite - you spin it and it provide electrical power. Shorting F and A together effectively wires the generator up as a motor, which is why it spun when I applied electrical power. It was a basic functionality test. It doesn't tell me that it will charge the battery, but it tells me that it is electrically sound enough to do so. I think I linked to a Moss Motors video in my video - I'd check that out, too.

      @@roundtailrestoration maybe mine is set up differently. The A and F are the ends of the electromagnet. If you connect the 2, then there's no flow of charge.

      Not sure if that's a compliment or not. The video is only 2 minute long.
