Get an old Ali keg from the Pub then wiz top off for a better tank.👍

lol 99% of your viewers wouldnt know a puch maxi if it hit them in the face .. i do cos I had one lol

Do you know what your doing. Or is it trial and error your not giving me any confidence. Just saying.

New Range rover owners use steering locks apparently. Keyless entry is your enemy. That old black and decker grinder, my dad had one even when new they were very very loud.

Hi Adam, Look as if it’s going to be a lot of selling most I have seen for some time , Well best of luck on the day if you go back.🛠️🛠️⭐️👍👌

Just saw some lamps which we have the standard lamp to ..the art deco ones

Definitely keep it and keep it original really great video thank you

By God, there's a lot of kelter in there that I would have liked!! - I'm going to have to find out how far from my place to Swaffham. Where else can you buy kelter like that? Try York, try Wharfedale Auction Mart, try Driffield in a couple of weeks, Selby used to, but if it ever will again, we can't say right now. Newark is/was another. I miss those sale days - Bloody COVID screwed that up, and some never did restart afterwards.

8 tracks don't quite work like that Adam. Wish you bought it to restore

Can someone please tell me if this is exciting or not as I'm not really sure .

Always clean your job before and after . Always makes a tradesman a better tradesman. Unless your not a tradesman that is.

Brilliant video. Clear and concise. Thank you 😊 subscribed

Done hundreds eh ,,,,,,, I don’t think so

You have a Special lady , Most guys would get a selection of boxer shorts and socks . You did well my son .

Adam Nice original machine and service IT💎

No history of the company name listed on line 😊in Nottingham

Not sure but an interesting video😊think gut feeling it’s a generator Worth saving giving a chance 🤗 Thanks for video😊😮😮

You have got to love these old Engine designers , there was always a reason for doing something right .

Hi was your fridge new and what is the make?

Did anybody else see the title and think: “oh Noes! They had to sell their ride on mower to get high! Oh Noes!”😂

1 into 8 plug socket WTF haha

DC Generator. Looks to have two outputs, 75V and 50V. Wiring looks a little odd. A suggestion would be to clean the commutator, check brushes, spin up and check the voltage between the wired terminals and between each wired terminal and the terminal on the right (which may or may not be 0V and case). May require flashing if no output (incorrect flash polarity can damage the generator and 12V may not be sufficient for this one).

Looks like it's shunt wound so it will act as either a motor or dynamo, if it was a compound unit you have to reverse the series windings and leave the shunt as is to use a compound wound motor as a dynamo. The bearings should have the brass discs immersed in oil as they pick the oil up and carry it to the bearings. I have a 1920's book that tells you all bout how to do this. I am not far from you,about 9 miles from swaffham so if you ever need some electrical help.

been there a few times always junk

If you clean the commutator ( the copper segments that the brushes run on) with say a scotch bright or fine sand paper make sure you clean out the slots between the segments afterwards to prevent shorts between them. An old hacksaw or junior hacksaw blade with the sides ground off is good for this. The large cables at the terminal block probably go the brushes and the thin ones to the field windings. Initially I would suggest disconnecting one of the field wires and spinning the armature. If there is any residual magnetism left you should be able to measure a small DC voltage across the brushes and determine the polarity of the output. Like someone said you could put a rheostat in series with the field windings to control the output voltage. Looking forward to next video on this.

As others have said, these early motors could be either a motor is fed with DC electricity, or a generator if driven. I suggest connecting the unit with a belt from an engine or another electric motor and get it turning at about 1500 rpm. A lower rpm will give a lower voltage, and a higher rpm will hive a higher voltage. Also clean the commutator with isopropyl alcohol and a cloth. Use heavy duty wire to connect to your lights as low volts means higher amps. Good luck.

The guy in comments is right. Those old motors could be either. Depends how you wire it from the brush’s

It’s a dynamo shunt wound it would work as a motor though . The idea of flashing is to magnetise the iron around the field. Yes it would run lights or anything that runs on dc . If you connect it to a 12v battery it will probably turn . For ac you need slip rings .

"Flashing" means to apply a DC voltage momentarily to the field coil in order to develop some residual magnetism in the field. This is needed to make the generator self-excite when you spin it up. That's why it is possible for it to generate without having an external power source for the field coil. You will probably need to do this as it appears it has been sitting unused for a while. But why not just give it a try first? No harm done if it doesn't work. DC voltage should appear between the two terminals you identified. By the way, the commutator could stand cleaning.

Try emailing Mike or contact his youtube smallenginemechanic his an absoulte genius with motor/gen sets ive tried doing a bit of research seems it may bit of an oddity. With power generation however im sure many of us no it takes power to,make power in most cases, especially AC generation the alternator needs a high current low voltage dc applied the rotor to produce the magnetic fileds in most cases, you can have a perment magnet AC motor that can also generate without the needed voltage to a rotor, instead its a fixed stator, and a perment magnet rotor consisting of magnets opposing. Each other all around inside, the stator is an iron core like a star wound it can be single phase, or mulitple phases. Like a alternator for a vehicle tgey are 3 phase output alternators. A dc gen set can also be permanent magnet, its still limited it away. A feild frame style dc motor can be used as a genset, but tends to have a hash sound, a devices i have thats a good example is a radio dynomotor its a dc Electric motor 28volts @3amps motor side, gen dc output is 330volts dc @170mA since it has brushes it has a hash sound when being used. What i find interesting is the voltage,and current ratings. 75/50 volts means it has two separate windings, its current is quite high to not surprising do to the lower voltage, horse power, and current ratings arent that much different calulate wattage at full load momentarily thats key becuse 18amps could mean a short peak, or inrush current. When i worked for a motor shop motors were rated either horsepower, or KW. Genset were rated current or KW DC, AC if its ac frequency had to be labeled too because they build georators( an ac generator that convert's the ac current's frequencies from 60,or 50 hz to what ever the company needed. The lowest frequency motor ive herd was 20hz, which surprise me do to its Shear Mass, the gentalman i was speaking too was the tester. he's the guy who made sure they dont blow big job here, he has a lot on the line! As we were introduced do to us having very like minded thoughts, this was my first day,he told me that, i was genuinely shocked at the such low frequency, i had to ask what the voltage it ran at, if i rember correctly it was 2000volts ac, i immediately said thats gotta be over 1000amps of inrush current i cant rembemer the exact voltage he said but was surprised i was close i wanna stay around 1900amps of inrush but dont take my word its been some time ago now.i still have this 811 tube hed given me some time ago, so i could build a tesla coil with it, but im think he is a ham operator so i plan to build my own ham transmitter soon, i wouldnt be able to transmit at the moment need my license, unless i operate cb at a reduced power 811a is capable of about 50watts of rf power with a well made circut! I dont see any frequency ratings dc power was used back in the day all over offten, but still doesnt mean its not ac, pretty easy to tell with that age, it have slip rings on the Armature, and the stator well its your stator thats were the useable current comes from, the rotor would have a lower voltage, but higher current input that would likely be regulated in some way, something that old would be mechanical. If its dc the field frame would have the voltage applied and the the Armature is your output. Hard to say for sure, if its dc it could be used either way really.

Neutral blue ones yellow ground

Generator bud think got live neutral live neutral

Nice see bud

Looks like a dynamo from the front of a showman’s steam engine just a bit smaller

DC Generator will motor.But designed as a Generator .YOU HAVE A DC GENERATOR (DYNAMO). Carbon brushes are expensive . I have just replaced some on a generator cost £125.00 Erodex uk.Do not use motor brushes they are abrasive and do not make a good contact .With oilers date 1920's.I tested mine by driving with a 0.25 HP motor . The armature windings will show low res. these can be identified by lifting the brushes and res will disappear . The field winding will be slightly higher .One side should be connected to the armature. The other end via a rheostat (variable resistor) to the other armature connection . If it Generates no flashing required ! I tested mine at 400rpm..There are good youtube vids on Shunt Generators (Dynamos)American but clear with good graphics . I have also read old books about Dynamos of the same vintage as your machine . Vids are alot clearer but the old photos are interesting .

This might help or hinder! When I sailed deep-sea as a ships Engineer the load on a motor was always logged in Amps and the generator load was always logged in Watts or kW. When getting a quote for the cost of a motor rewind the size of the motor was stated in Horsepower! I never understood why I still don't !!

Yes generator, but can be used as motor , that's how dynastarts work , iisters have similar, you may have to energise or excite we call flash , be aware negative positive ,

Now you need a boat will make a good anchor. It's a generator

Looks like a 5 inch gate post/anchor pulley 😂

I have seen more then once were to identical motor put together as a power plant one was ac powered as the other identical motor as a generator making DC voltage with your place looks like 75 voltage generator

A shunt wound machine can be either a motor or a generator, depending on if its driven or powered. Couldn't fully see from the video, but you could eee the feild coils and what looks like a wire from them. So when turned residule magnetism will generate a small voltage, which boosts the magnetic field via the field winding and the output voltage will build up. Given the age i would suggest its a generator. Prior to efficent rectifiers motor generator sets were used to convert AC to DC or act as DC voltage changers. Most early electric rail units used them to power the control and auxillary circuits.

It's a generator Adam

I think this device was designed to be a generator because its data plate says 18 amps whilst the hp rating is not given. If it was intended to be a motor I would expect a figure for hp but not necessarily for amps - but I am ill educated and may be talking out of the wrong end.

Looking at the data plate I would think it is a generator. 75volts @50Hz and 18Amperes. The HP is blank, normally has a figure when a motor.

deffo a generator i would say as doesnt have hp rating on the plate looks like also 75/50v at 18 amps should be able too spin it up and checkk wqith a multemeter

Це двигун для постійної напруги, хоч і при іншій комутації обмоток, може працювати на змінному струмі. DC engine - generator.

Technically, a motor and a generator are the same thing! It just depends whether you turn it to get electricity or feed it electricity to get the shaft to turn. I'd try just setting your multimeter to volts DC, connect it across those terminals and turn the motor as fast as you can by hand to see if it outputs some voltage. If so then you have a generator! Obviously it all gets a bit more complicated than that in real world applications...

Nice to see a short video for a change Adam....I'm sure lots of people may disagree but for me personally, watching a half hour video takes too much time. Don't get me wrong, I really do enjoy your channel but I often find myself clicking through... Anyway back to today's video....I'd say it's a motor...but could it just be a dual purpose machine?... Keep up the good work mate

Had to look twice , that extra hand .

Mr Norfolk Man cave. We thoroughly enjoy your videos. We have 2 Amanco not and miss. Chore Boy 1912 and Hired man 1916. They run beautifully but the igniter needs mica washers. Where did you source yours please. It's the 1912 that needs them.
