This guy is like the Bob Ross of Electric Motors. Stays in his lane, and gives TONS of great info. I could listen all day and I'm not even an electrician. Just awesome.
I've spent 40 years in the electrical end of industrial machinery and I know a lot about motors and controls. Jeremey taught me a few things watching this video. Well done. Smart man and he knows what he's talking about.
I agree. When I started really tinkering and designing projects I've wanted to for years this is where I started. I think what I really like about his content is the layers. It probably took me (from zero) three years to completely grasp the information in this video and actually apply it. I'd watch it and then learn basics about electrical circuits. Come back apply the electrical design knowledge and get more from videos like this. It wasn't until I was designing my own vfd for my lathe to run a three phase motor that everything sank in and there's probably so much more I still don't know. "There are known knowns..." Haha Donald Rumsfeld always comes to mind when I think about the fact there's information I don't even know I'm missing but yeah man it's been two years. Come back and see if there's even more you might learn.
I’m a mechanical engineer and just wanted to say that you are a great teacher and I really appreciate your videos. Please keep doing what you’re doing!
@@ruinunes8251 I imagine he would check that before dragging it home lol, he seems a little to intelligent to make that sort of mistake. I on the other hand have made that mistake 😂🤣 I'm so glad I have come across this channel as I've been dragging all sorts of appliances home and taking the motors out of them with the intention to learn how to reuse the motors, I've got milk crates full of motors now and finally I've found someone that explains things in a way I can understand. This is the first of his videos I have seen and I subscribed in the first 2 mins.🙌🙌😁😁
I have been through high school and collage for Electrical Engineering but none of the teachers could explain these principles in such an easy to understand manner, I am truly in awe. Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge!
There's No use for an education that doesn't teach you how to figure things out yourself. If there was, you'd be taught the basics so you can build upon them and actually learn the subject matter. Memorization is not knowledge. Information/data is not knowledge. A book on a shelf or an internet search engine is not knowledge. Applying information to your daily life is knowledge. If you can't make it work then you do not know it.
You, sir, are a GREAT teacher. You are logical, organized, and easy to follow. The quality of your content is something that would take forever to piece together into a coherent source from other bits and pieces of info scattered through books and the internet. This from a researcher and professional teacher.
@@REL602 I can't believe you didn't learn a single thing. no you won't learn everything all at once and you may need to replay it perhaps two or three times or more. however I can assure you that many beginners should be able to get a heck of a lot out of this sort of video if they set their mind to it. You also need to take notes off anything that you don't understand and go look elsewhere to explain those specific things. Don't be lazy. Learn how to learn. Hopefully they tried to teach you that at school..
@@REL602 This particular video is focused on how to apply the various motors for beginners. You would really enjoy the "how motors work" playlist. There is one on three phase as well as all the types. My personal favorite is "how motors work; DC motors". It is the very beginning of understanding motors. They are linked in the description as I described in the video. It was just too much detail for one video, so I pointed you to other videos where I explain those kinds of things. I promise it will explain at the most basic level what three phase is, and any other motor question you might have in that series.
Really? I wouldn't rate him a 'GREAT' teacher. He is constantly mixing his words (for instance saying power where he meant torque) which is quite confusing if you don't already understand the concept. I'll concede that he does know what he's talking about and his intentions are good, but such blatant mixing and mashing of wrong words I cannot appreciate.
I'm watching you for the first time, and what first struck me is, if you are not a teacher or instructor in your professional life, you are keeping a gift from the world. You got that.
@@sixtycats8652 I don't think he is He is having a hard time saying thank you & that he is good at what he is doing. That he should be a teacher because all his students will learn! Unlike most teacher's that can only teach those who already know some. Those teacher's usually need to be corrected at least on a few occasions
I don't know where to begin. I appreciate these videos so much. I just found this channel from reddit and can hardly believe the quantity and quality of these engineering videos. Mr. Fielding has enthusiasm, clarity, and technical prowess in abundance. Thank you!!

Can't recall seeing anything on yt without at least a few loudmouth know-it-all/troll comments...I scrolled down a good 2-3 pages & only saw gratitude & respect... & I totally agree with them. Good work man. I wish my organize could mind function so & effectively!
One of the clearest explainations of motor and power facts I've seen yet. My college professor managed to unnecessarily overcomplicate this very same topic area, confusing a whole class! Only the strong survived, but Jeremy's style is very acquirable.
An excellent presentation as always. Other guys have covered the differences but they are either too deeply technical or too shallow. You always strike the right balance and make the info understandable for the average tinkerer. One of the best YT channels ever!
I’m on my girl friends RUclips account, she’s not interested in this topic but I am, and you’ve answered quite a few questions in a practical application format. Now the only challenge is remembering!
Just excellent. Its rare to find someone with such a complete understanding of a subject able to share it seemingly effortlessly. I don't know if you are a teacher in your paid profession but you sir have a gift. First visit. Subbed. Thank you.
I swear, I don't know how I learned anything without You Tube. You have wonderful understandable explanations. The military training isn't as good. Thank You!
Jeremy, you have no idea how happy I am to have found your channel, I recently was lucky enough to land an operator job in a power plant off the street where they are going to "train/school" me on the job, I was struggling with all the various motors that we use on different types of equipment and the way you teach and the knowledge you have is truly a blessing, thank you so much for your time in making videos and teaching others man, I greatly appreciate it!
Just want to thank you for putting this video together - even though this is an "introductory" video, you cover a lot of ground that left me feeling like I have a solid overview of the types of motors that are out there and why I may wish to use one versus another. You organized the information thoughtfully and efficiently, and communicated it clearly and concise. Great job!
@Jeremy Fielding You rock! I stumbled onto your channel and I love how you explain what something is and how the everyday person can do something with it and how they can get it! You have quickly become one of my top 5 channels to watch and get information from. You don't have filler fluff, your information is on point, your easy to understand, and you update your videos with the links you do in future videos!! Love the channel, Keep up the superb content!!!
Big fan of yours from Pakistan. i am a mechanical engineer and i always watch your stuff before doing some of my own DIY. especially in concept building.
I've been called a hoarder because i save perfectly good motors out of things. at work we replaced an 800 dollar pump, i took it home and removed the pump and swapped the squeaky bearing and it works great. I wish more people would realize that its not trash and things can be fixed.
Components with smaller components can only need a small component but is the time for diagnosing, looking for those specific parts, chances of wrecking more things and down time of the equipment worth it? I personally think that learning to breakdown and understanding components to it's smallest component have some utility but the industry for the most part doesn't - except for people who work on machinery I'd say.
Dude, you are an absolute legend. Clear, straight to the point, no excess fluff in the script. Subscribed and notifications. Plus this comment in case it helps the algorithm.
I've never been interested in motors before. I'm more into engines. I however couldn't resist this video. The information density in there is just incredible. Thank you for taking your time to share your knowledge and experience
This is exceptionally well laid out, I'm filing this one as one to share with my friends when they ask me questions on motors! Best explanation I've ever seen.
Jeremy, welcome to the hall of heroes ... this is an awesome video.. I'm restoring a band saw right now, and i have plans that include a need for your tutorials... I'm glad I ran across your site.. intelligent, eloquent, 'smart' (shows in your demeanor and presentation) and a very likable guy... may you prosper greatly.
In his videos there are lots of information which are good not only for students but also even engineers, I suggest all students become member of Jeremy site and learn many technical information , His videos are excellent for understanding of science.
Wow! I came across RUclips video that I actually enjoyed watching because there was loads of information squished into it, pretty well zero run a round, and no stupid music! Have my sub, great job! 😉
I've watched these videos probably once a year since you started. I admire your work and would like to tell you that i appreciate the effort you put into everything. If you're ever in NePa let me know.
I can't sufficiently state my appreciation for your videos, Jeremy. Thank you. Really. I had so many questions regarding re-purposing electronic components, and you're knocking them down in multiples in every post. Amazing.
really good video i didn't give electric motors much thought and now i'm considering them for a special project...these might be even better than what i had in mind thank you for the info
This is amazing. I've been wanting to get into re-purposing motors for some time but was too intimidated. This was an awesome summary and I'm going to watch the rest of your stuff linked here. Keep it coming!
Riley, Im Making small electric tools out of small 12v dc motors now. I am working on a 20 cm tall belt grinder at the moment, Great for kids to get started with.
Dude, this was the most informative video I have seen in a long time. So much info yet your delivery style is so clear and understandable that its fun to learn therefore easy to process. I am a professional craftsman and I suppose I own 50 various motors in my tools from a huge 5hp DC industrial Mercury chop saw, 3hp induction drive lathe, and 2hp belt grinder with VFD, to a dozen Dc cordless drills some with brushless motors, and everything in between. I'll be honest I had no idea about electric motors before I watched this video. Now I appreciate and understand these amazing machines much more. Oof how many have I thrown out over the years........ Many Thanks from another Jeremy in Maui Hawaii!
I always enjoy your videos Jeremy. But this series is the very best for explaining a difficult concept. I have an associates degree in electronics and an engineering degree besides, but until I watched the series, I hadn’t realized how much I was missing. Thank you very very much For the great job you do on all these videos.
First time I've ever broke out the notepad during a RUclips video. Thank you for this. Awesome work chock-full of information in laymen's without showing off and confusing newbies with veteran(industry insider) terminology and useless reteric like a lot of other channels.
Hey Jeremy thanks for these videos about motors. Super helpful. I’m building a belt grinder for knife making motor is 1.5 hp at 3600 rpm with a vfd. Was able to find the motor for free and needed to rewire it, would have had a real hard time without these great videos! Great information spoken and presented very well.
This is professional grade education material IMO.. I often wonder if YT will ever try and find the best videos of every topic and start an actual university out of it?
Thank you for this very good explanation of the different types of electrical motors. As a cnc machinist i often have to do with those different motors. And now iam trying to build a industrial robot by myself(just like you). I have good skills in fusion 360 and programmed much functions on the Postprocessor on my own. I got all what i need cnc lathe, cnc mill and a good Boss, that gives me the freedom to do my projects as well. I do this because i want to adapt the electrical and physical side of Engineering this would complete my knowledge to build machines. Again: thank you!!!!
OMG information overload! WOW! This feels like the video component of a solid motor reference article. Something written that's easy to refer back to would be amazing - but what a fantastic video!!!
Damn Skippy! Usually I have to watch these sorts of videos at 2x speed. This is the first time I ever felt like I had to slow it down! Really information dense, logically organised, and brilliantly presented. I wish more people who make hobbyist/maker type videos would take the "Just the facts, ma'am." approach. Except This Old Tony. I could watch and listen to that guy make stuff all day. You, my good sir, have earned yourself a shiny new sub. I'm told by people born after the advent of colour TV that those can often be worth as much as cents per year to you newfangled RUclipsr Google machine whatsits. You're welcome. Don't spend it all on broken treadmills.
Can't wait to find the first negative comment about this 'insensitive' way of telling it as it is. As for me, I liked it :-) Way too much political correctnes out there.
If the fat kid just had lunch, he has to sit closer to the FULL-CRUM while the skinny kid farther from the the fulcrum or the see-saw will be tilted to one end and the skinny kid could fly over the fence. :/ that's torque in PCics.
@Eric Cartman There is nothing "un-PC" about calling people fat, idiot. You're not leading a counterculture revolution just because you revel in being insensitive. That goes for all of you.
For anyone interested but unable to get a sewing machine pedal , I took the heater wire out of a broken fan heater and used some to make a high power, low voltage dc rheostat. Dirt cheap!
very helpful video I stumbled upon that I didn't "need" to watch but I'm glad I did because it filled in a couple of the gaps in my motor knowledgebase. and knowing I'm not the only one helps me to not feel as weird about seeing things that other people (like my neighbors) throw away and thinking "if that thing is still there when I come back later, I might salvage the motor for some not yet conceived of DIY project?" I have actually learned quite a lot from your videos over the years so thanks for the content.

This is exceptionally well laid out, I'm filing this one as one to share with my friends when they ask me questions on motors! Best explanation I've ever seen.
Your videos have been a great resource for me, I just moved from the US to Europe so the country clarifications are much appreciated!
Very nice! Tech for 30 yrs. Learned something new today. Thank you
Jeremy, welcome to the hall of heroes ... this is an awesome video.. I'm restoring a band saw right now, and i have plans that include a need for your tutorials... I'm glad I ran across your site.. intelligent, eloquent, 'smart' (shows in your demeanor and presentation) and a very likable guy... may you prosper greatly.
In his videos there are lots of information which are good not only for students but also even engineers, I suggest all students become member of Jeremy site and learn many technical information , His videos are excellent for understanding of science.
Wow! I came across RUclips video that I actually enjoyed watching because there was loads of information squished into it, pretty well zero run a round, and no stupid music!
Have my sub, great job! 😉
Thank you Jeremy! You explain what these motors do and how they work so much better than even an electrician would.
I think it's pretty cool that the smartest guy on RUclips is humble enough to tell you up front he could make a mistake..
Man, I am _really_ digging your content. You do a wonderful job of presenting the information. Keep up the great work, brother.
So glad your are back on RUclips Mr. Fielding.. thanks for all you do for us.. i should have a few recliner motors to send you so be on the lookout.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. And Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the world. Well done.
Much gratitude, from someone who didn't take shop classes. This relatively basic information is harder to come by than one might think.
RUclips reccomending something that DOESNT kill my braincells? Did I shift realities again?
Great video, very clear and dense with info
You didn’t know? We switched to Universe #447
We all have this in common
I've watched these videos probably once a year since you started. I admire your work and would like to tell you that i appreciate the effort you put into everything. If you're ever in NePa let me know.
No frills, no gimmicks. Only pertinent, and accurate information. Excellent presentation. Keep it going, my friend.
Fantastic presentation and very interesting to me. Good man!
Now I look differently at treadmills. Now I think they are "useful".
More useful dead than alive, ✌😵
Not JUST for using as a clothes hanger.
HA! I feel you!!!
😄
If you want to blow your knees out, theres few more useful things
I can't sufficiently state my appreciation for your videos, Jeremy. Thank you. Really. I had so many questions regarding re-purposing electronic components, and you're knocking them down in multiples in every post. Amazing.
really good video
i didn't give electric motors much thought
and now i'm considering them for a special project...these might be even better than what i had in mind
thank you for the info
This is amazing. I've been wanting to get into re-purposing motors for some time but was too intimidated. This was an awesome summary and I'm going to watch the rest of your stuff linked here. Keep it coming!
Riley, Im Making small electric tools out of small 12v dc motors now. I am working on a 20 cm tall belt grinder at the moment, Great for kids to get started with.
Excellent video on motor basics....I hope this guy is a teacher as he would be quite an asset to any school.
Dude, this was the most informative video I have seen in a long time. So much info yet your delivery style is so clear and understandable that its fun to learn therefore easy to process.
I am a professional craftsman and I suppose I own 50 various motors in my tools from a huge 5hp DC industrial Mercury chop saw, 3hp induction drive lathe, and 2hp belt grinder with VFD, to a dozen Dc cordless drills some with brushless motors, and everything in between. I'll be honest I had no idea about electric motors before I watched this video. Now I appreciate and understand these amazing machines much more.
Oof how many have I thrown out over the years........
Many Thanks from another Jeremy in Maui Hawaii!
How am I just now finding this? You are amazing, sir.
I've been working on a project with a friend and your motor guide videos have been great with helping me make more informed design choices. thank you!
Well done young man! Lots of information, clear and concise, with a great list of references. Great Video.
I always enjoy your videos Jeremy. But this series is the very best for explaining a difficult concept. I have an associates degree in electronics and an engineering degree besides, but until I watched the series, I hadn’t realized how much I was missing. Thank you very very much For the great job you do on all these videos.
First time I've ever broke out the notepad during a RUclips video. Thank you for this. Awesome work chock-full of information in laymen's without showing off and confusing newbies with veteran(industry insider) terminology and useless reteric like a lot of other channels.
Hey Jeremy thanks for these videos about motors. Super helpful. I’m building a belt grinder for knife making motor is 1.5 hp at 3600 rpm with a vfd. Was able to find the motor for free and needed to rewire it, would have had a real hard time without these great videos! Great information spoken and presented very well.
Thanks man you got great explanations that easy to understand
Mr. Fielding is one of my favorite makers and teachers anywhere.
This is professional grade education material IMO..
I often wonder if YT will ever try and find the best videos of every topic and start an actual university out of it?
Thank you for this very good explanation of the different types of electrical motors. As a cnc machinist i often have to do with those different motors. And now iam trying to build a industrial robot by myself(just like you). I have good skills in fusion 360 and programmed much functions on the Postprocessor on my own. I got all what i need cnc lathe, cnc mill and a good Boss, that gives me the freedom to do my projects as well. I do this because i want to adapt the electrical and physical side of Engineering this would complete my knowledge to build machines. Again: thank you!!!!
Eloquent explaination, love your candid delivery style
Music to my ears, thanks so much for your expertise! Come on everybody, lets buy this guys swag above and keep him going forever!
OMG information overload! WOW! This feels like the video component of a solid motor reference article. Something written that's easy to refer back to would be amazing - but what a fantastic video!!!
Damn Skippy! Usually I have to watch these sorts of videos at 2x speed. This is the first time I ever felt like I had to slow it down!
Really information dense, logically organised, and brilliantly presented. I wish more people who make hobbyist/maker type videos would take the "Just the facts, ma'am." approach. Except This Old Tony. I could watch and listen to that guy make stuff all day.
You, my good sir, have earned yourself a shiny new sub. I'm told by people born after the advent of colour TV that those can often be worth as much as cents per year to you newfangled RUclipsr Google machine whatsits.
You're welcome. Don't spend it all on broken treadmills.
I can relate. 2X speedwatcher and im watching at x1 and im taking it back more than once cos I missed something that I had to hear over again
Seen many videos on this topic but this was explained perfectly.
Taught me more in 5 minutes than 30 alternative videos. Thx man!
I’ve been a electrician for 30y and I learn so much at this channel.
"you put a fat kid on a see-saw" SUBSCRIBED
@Eric Cartman In my mental image there was you and Kenny on a see-saw :)
Can't wait to find the first negative comment about this 'insensitive' way of telling it as it is.
As for me, I liked it :-)
Way too much political correctnes out there.
If the fat kid just had lunch, he has to sit closer to the FULL-CRUM while the skinny kid farther from the the fulcrum or the see-saw will be tilted to one end and the skinny kid could fly over the fence. :/ that's torque in PCics.
PC police, watch out... lol
@Eric Cartman There is nothing "un-PC" about calling people fat, idiot. You're not leading a counterculture revolution just because you revel in being insensitive. That goes for all of you.
Fascinating and informative. Thank you. Years ago I used a sewing machine pedal (rheostat) on my dremel. Worked like a charm. lol
Thanks for that info!
For anyone interested but unable to get a sewing machine pedal , I took the heater wire out of a broken fan heater and used some to make a high power, low voltage dc rheostat. Dirt cheap!
very helpful video I stumbled upon that I didn't "need" to watch but I'm glad I did because it filled in a couple of the gaps in my motor knowledgebase. and knowing I'm not the only one helps me to not feel as weird about seeing things that other people (like my neighbors) throw away and thinking "if that thing is still there when I come back later, I might salvage the motor for some not yet conceived of DIY project?" I have actually learned quite a lot from your videos over the years so thanks for the content.
Treadmill motors, should be the most unused motors around where I live.. lol Keep up the great work...
