Part two of the series. An introduction to motor types, reading labels, and examples of projects I have made from these motors. I focus on reusing motors salvaged from appliances and other sources. Steppers, BLDC, PMDC, single and three phase, universal motors, and more.

I would too, the reason I'm here is to learn how to understand the motor label.

@A_Tower @Jeremy Fielding People who know how to teach, probably. So many obvious questions he fails to answer in just the first few minutes. Why handwave hp when you can simply mention whether this is electrical or mechanical (we know it's the former, at 746 watts, but why would a novice know?)? There are four instances of this kind of thing in the first three minutes. Such a shame. A good teacher always takes the opportunity to tell you more, not less.

As someone who loves to tinker, has no formal engineering training, and gets in over his head all the time, i absolutely love your videos. All the things I've always wanted to know about motors and other things you post, but never had the time to look up or got wildly confused when I did. So, just wanted to say thanks for making the content that you do!

Jeremy, listening to you is like a zen meditation... you are humble and have a tone that is so approachable... I think of WWJD (What would Jeremy Do) when I face my class. BTW... I had a 5 hp motor that was running a Hydraulic pump fine in Pittsburgh but when they moved the equipment to Connecticut it would not cut it... the voltage dropped from 230 to 208 and the current went up and would blow the fuses. Needed to change the motor for the new location. The challenges of running near the edge.

This is an excellent video. I can't thank you enough for the label deciphering! I know I could probably find it dryly presented in some book, but your explanations are so easy to listen to and understand. Of course, I'm going to go through the video and write this all down but, without you having explained all of the notations, my cheat sheet would be worthless to me within days.

I just happened to come across one of your videos a couple hours ago and I've been watching different ones from you since. This video caught my attention because I've been having trouble with my 5 horsepower Ingersoll air compressor motor, and trying to make sense of everything on the plate of the motor was confusing. I like how you talk about using treadmill Motors a lot, last year I made a electric wire stripper using the motor and rolllers off a treadmill. And it works awesome LOL

I'd be interested in learning more about adapting motors to pulley systems like you have in your bandsaws. How to adapt a motor to a certain device speed, yet staying within the performance specs of the motor.
