Thanks for your quick reply Norm.�� Did you ever check to see what your 
10 hp motor was outputting for HP?�� What has always intrigued me is how 
Tesla ran his car with an 80 hp motor and no battery bank.�� What was in 
the black box that used the old electric tubes and what were the rods 
that seemed to be tuning forks?
I am really like a fish out of water when it comes to this stuff.�� My 
background is Civil & Oil & Gas.�� How do you adjust the capacitance on 
the created phase?� Are the Caps adjustable?�� I thought that a 
capacitor was hooked up and it either did the job or you used another 
bigger one.
So if I use a couple of 8D industrial batteries to make 24 volts and 
direct drive a generator with a 3 ph motor I might be able to produce 
OU.�� Then I could run a 5 or 10 hp heat pump and improve the overall 
output??� I need electric power, heat & cooling.
Thanks Norm,
John

    The �gizmo's that are on the market to allow you to run 3 phase
    motors from a single phase line are available from numerous vendors.
     �There are instructions on the NET that show you how to build your
    own for pennies. �The whole point of Hectors research is different
    from these phase converters. �I look at the RV experiment as a
    novelty and does produce O/U output with limitations. �The limits
    are based on the slip speed of the motor you are useing. �If you
    load the motor too heavily (out of it's slip RPM) then you loose the
    O/U aspects. �This is why you have to use a very large motor (480
    VAC, 3 phase) and run it on single phase 120VAC line power while
    adjusting the capacitance on the phantom, created phase. �As I said,
    it is a novelty experiment which everyone should see for themselves
    but do not expect to power any big loads and get O/U. � �A case in
    point, is my 10 HP 3 phase, 460 VAC Delco motor which runs at full
    1750 RPM and has great torque while pulling only .75 amps at 120VAC
    input. �Friends are amazed over this 250 pound motor �drawing less
    than 1 amp. �I hope this helps you with your decision regards the RV
    experiment. �You can pick up a good large 3 phase motor at any scrap
    yard for $20. �Find some oil filled AC caps from single phase air
    conditioners, (compressor caps) which are rated for up to 600VAC
    then you are in business for less than $40. � �Norm
