Re: 16th Century Targets: Always Convex? Where to Buy?
If you could do with a 24" diameter convex, here's what I did, I stopped by a Semi Truck salvage& found the end cap off of a round fuel tank, this leaves you 2 directions to go, if you want it lighter, but more susceptible to damage, cut it at the corner& use trim lock. If you can take a little more...

Louis, your link also led me to this article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator which has some good info as well. reading this section, which is predicated upon a slightly bigger setup gives me a starting point.

Apparently you need to correct the power factor to originally build up the magnetic field in the motor. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/why-do-induction-generator-need-capacitor-bank.459144/ If I'm reading this right you connect high voltage capacitors across the load to build up the initial ...

I'm looking at repurposing some equipment to make a mobile platform of sorts, so an inverter, or phase converter most likely won't work, plus I would probably have to add a step up transformer.Jurgen wrote:Modern power inverters might do the trick. They can convert single phase into 3 phase power.

An addendum:
What ever is done cannot be a "one-off" solution, as if the concept proves out, I may need to fabricate multiple power supplies.

Any EE's or scrounge meisters in the haus?
I have a tricky problem I have been trying to figure out. I need to engineer a cost effective manner to produce a device to produce 440-480V 3ph, enough wattage to run 2 1hp motors simultaneously. I know an induction motor can be used as a generator. I know it must be over driven slightly to compens...
