Republicans produce almost adequate amounts of hot air, but for really serious wind you need a Democrat. The only problem is that generate so much hot air that they are hard to control. All wild thrust and no wings to control them.

By the way, these kinds of AC motors also function nicely with about 24V DC. (Yes, DC.)

Hi there, looks like motor has commutator and brushes from your reply (assu me universal series wound motor). Commutator segments may need undercutting as was common with automotive dynamo's. The Haynes Automotive Electrical s ystems service manual mentions an undercutting tool and in the starter moto r chapter, a growler tool is mentioned which checks the armature winding insulation by e lectromaganetic induction.
