Ooooh, is it? Is it going to? Hmmm..... bit more. Keep it going..... Almost there..... And..... There we go. *_FLAAAAAAAAAMES!!_* :D Wow, that was some nice poppage there, and even after unplugging it and carrying it outside, the flaaaaames hung in there. It was a garden lantern for a few minutes! :D _TOP TIPS WITH BALLASTING:_ When you're ballasting a pop-victim, be careful about using appliances with motors in them. (in your case, the fan heater and tumble-dryer) While the pop-victim is running it may use so little current that the motors in the tumble dryer and fan heater don't have enough power to run properly..... *so they sit there and burn up instead! :-O* ESPECIALLY if you have multiple appliances in parallel with each other that are then in series with the pop-victim! If say, the pop-victim was only drawing 1kW, that 1kW would be "shared" between the two parallelled ballasts, so each would only get 500w, and at a rather reduced voltage. *The motors in the fan heater and tumble-dryer may not like this and burn up.* Another thing: With the fan-heater, if the motor is running too slow (because the element in the heater hogs all the available current) what can happen is that the heater then runs too hot and you risk popping the single-use-only thermal fuse that's in there. You would have been mighty peeved-off if that pop-victim vac motor took out your tumble-dryer and/or the fan heater! For ballasts, use something that doesn't mind being ridiculously under-volted. A 3kW immersion heater element will work nicely as will a few kettles. Avoid appliances with motors in them. Overall though..... Good flaming poppage. :D Thanxx for showing, -BoomBoxDeluxe. _15th April 2015, 18.30_

i would wonder what those would run like if they were propped up so that the vacuum impeller was allowed to continue to suck air and blow it over the motor to keep it cool. how long would that motor run then if it would keep blowing away all the heat and flames that are trying to burn it out. im honestly just curious to see one of these things spin so fast it implodes rather than catches fire .. so best be done inside a blast box eh :D

What does ballast mean and what does it do? Does it stop the power from tripping fuses or rccb's? How do you get electricity to short without going in the dark?

@Aussie50 9 жыл бұрын

Aidan Brown a ballast limits how much current the load can draw when short, hence why we did not blow the fuse.

If the motor was not sat on to of what amounted to a sealing surface: Would the rotor vanes would draw air throung the motor and provide cooling. What else is there that causes the ferocious arcing and the motor's self destruction? Aussie mains supply is the same nominal 230V as ours, so it isn't being over-volted.

@Aussie50 9 жыл бұрын

NJPurling we had it wired directly across the brushes, no fields :D, it could pull as many amps as it wanted up to the ballast limit of about 30 :D

emm, i thought they worked by a armature powered up to generate a magnetic field and some field windings to make an opposing magnetic field, if only the armature is connected, you only have one field, why does it spin?

@BoomBoxDeluxe 9 жыл бұрын

vanhodid _BoomBoxDeluxe chimes in........_ OK then, as per your request: I once done a vid on glowing-up pieces of steel wire in a careful and safe way, using a large building site transformer, a variac and..... a ballast. It's called: *_"Wire-glowing FUN & Ohm's Law science :D"_* Have a look at that, and you'll see how, using a specific voltage from a variac and a water heater, I can get a bit of steel wire glowiiiiiiiiiin' in a controlled and reasonably safe manner WITHOUT blowing up either my transformer or my little 10A variac...... Because the whole set-up is "ballasted". If you enjoy that wire-glowing fun vid and want to see the steel wire fizz-up glow ridiculously and POP, then using ballasting once again, I took it up to 5kW and done this one: *_"5,000 watts multi-poppage FUNN!"_* In there, the bits of steel wire get thoroughly annihilated, but...... the transformer doesn't pop, thanks to ballasting. -BoomBoxDeluxe. _15th April 2015, 18.52_

@NJPurling 9 жыл бұрын

I thought that an AC motor would not run without the field windings as one magnetic field is shifting against the other. There are apparently many types of AC motor & logically this would be a basic, cheap to produce type.

@Aussie50 9 жыл бұрын

NJPurling yeh in brush motors you create a magnetic field with the armature if you over-drive it enough (like this one) They are not as cheap to make as a 2 pole induction motor, but they are frequency limited and do not spin as fast as a universal motor, so they are of no real use for a small vacuum cleaner.
