In this episode of HACKED! we will be having a look at an asynchronous induction motor and find out whether we can use it as a generator. While doing so we will learn about what makes a generator special and how we can convert an induction motor into one. Let’s get started!

  1. Aw I thought you’d know how to just use a couple capacitors and use the motor as is

  2. No. Adding permanent magnets is not necessary. All you need to do is add some capacitors I'm series with the output. Residual magnesium in the rotor will result in build fields as the rpms increase. Once the rated rpm is reached and slightly increased the unaltered induction motor generate decent power. What he is doing here is a joke.

  3. "You need an even number of magnets like 2,4,6,8, and so on." Lmao thanks for the examples, I was lost

  4. I see an opportunity to increase potential generator rotational speed. What if instead of adding a gear to the motor shaft, rubber or a small tire was mounted on the shaft to contact the tire instead of the bicycle's gears? This should increase the ratio to spin the shaft, while simultaneously decreasing pedal resistance, to spin the motor faster. ? This will also allow the bike to use all the gears while pedaling, so you can start in first and gradually increase momentum.

  5. Try 775 two dc motors for generator
    This the best
    My eksperiment get 40-50v 3Amp
    Rpm 5000-15000

  6. wait .. ? you didn't make the magnets closer to the staters !! neodymium magnets are permanent and powerful but the flux is smaller isn't it !? so in order to get the maximum power or whatever from the magnets you need to get them closer to the staters I think ..

  7. 1. the magnet numbers are not paired correctly with the coil number,
    2. poles are not magnetically opposite connected, that plastic is not good enough to transfer magnetism (I just suppose, not work with that kind of staff) you need a steel rotor
    3. the magnets are extremely small, you need an electromagnet… look for reference on car alternator

  8. Some one maked a generator by modifying the stator from an old washing machine.
    I do not know if you have seen this?
    He built it with some wheel (Pelter Wheel?), and used water from a stream to spin it to generate electricity.

    Which again brings me to the fundamentals of electricity……
    Is it really possible to generate MORE electricity than what you put IN?….hmmmm

  9. Nice video but 1 mistake is ur magnet arrangements is 8pole while your stator has 2/4 pole(more pole lower rpm) so u can change magnet arrangement to 2 or 4 pole following your stator pole, at least u can generate 100w with that

  10. hey scott dont know if you still check this video but ive learned that when making a generator you need the same number of magnets as stator coils hope this help with your projects

  11. They make motor bike chain adapters for bikes they are used for using ICE motors on pedal bike. A roller on the rubber might be easiest though

  12. From my experience you just cannot put any even number of magnets. U need correct number of poles to make it work.

  13. it might work with a microwave cap. or a standard ac motor cap to hold its inductive field against the magnet armerture

  14. You read the documentation wrong. And induction motor needs 4 alternating magnets, not 8., For IT to generate a single rotating field with and odd number stator coils.

  15. @GreatScott! Maybe you should have a look at 'capacitor-excited asynchronous generator', under the right conditions it works! There is also a youtube video available on youtube channel from 'Tor Segelohrenbob'. Kindly regards from Saxony. And, i'll see you next time.

  16. You tried to make it as a synchronous generator, but the specification changes, so the no, of poles should had been more for less speed, and you had to change the connection of the field winding too, for which now, would be called armature winding

  17. you are very wrong i glued magnets after grinding off enough space to do so on a 3 phase and can light a old style bulb by using only two fingers to turn it slowly you have done somthing wrong
