Re: Trouble with a Federal Type 5

if I remember correctly, the brushes on a repulsion-induction motor have to be correctly "timed;" their position relative to the stator poles has to be correctly set or else the brushes might pass too much current and not last long. If they're seriously out of whack, the motor might not st...

the other thing to consider is that there's only so much air you can pass through a restriction; in this case the stator port. When you push (or pull) a compressible fluid like air through a restriction, its pressure drops while its velocity increases. once its velocity approaches the speed of sound...
