Initial Start Up Testing of 1915 Vintage 750 HP Wound Rotor Motor after Rewinding the Rotor & Stator
City of Memphis Gayoso Pumping Station 750 HP 6,250 Volt 116 RPM Wound Rotor Motor #3 initial Start-Up testing after rewind of both the stator and rotor. This machine drives a pump that moves 135,000 GPM of storm water from the Gayoso drainage area into Wolf River Harbor between Mud Island and the City of Memphis which then feeds directly into the Mississippi River. When the Mississippi River is higher than 28 feet, one of these four motors will be started to help pump down storm water from old Gayoso Bayou basin in the harbor protecting the City of Memphis and especially St. Jude's Childrens Hospital research wing.

Sounds like some science fiction movie
FANTASTIC MOTOR TOURBINE
Anyone else aroused in a non-sexual way?
That's a thing of beauty...
That’s the sound of the Machine Age right there.
Reminds me of Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom! :)
Power to stage one emitters in three...two...one
Seeing that 110 years ago may have made the average Joe fully shit his pants.
Me:Awesome engineering Also me: I want to put a stick in it
Sounds like my inverter washer...
The fact that an electric motor in a car makes almost the same power as this is absurd. Crazy how technology moves.
850hp at 116rpm equals nearly 40,000 pound feet of torque
We wuz kangz
There are huge generators like this at Niagara falls designed by Nikola Tesla
Just imagine you have today motors this powerfull fiting in a 20cm cube...
This thing will outlast me and my kids and their future kids.
THE BIGGEST MOTOR VERY FASTER WOW AMAZING
Learn english
CZcams keeps recommending me vids of big motors
It looks like an old DC motor, but it may also be an induction motor with copper rings and carbon brushes for the rotary part.
Very, very, very cool
Cute and funny how the two guys leaned in to look at it really close. lol. :)
The guy was so confident of his team's work he put his face close up to the danger at the beginning 😮
"Overhead capacitors to 105 percent"
*looks at my Miata
I want to put my hand in it. I know I would get torn to shreds but I WANT TO SOO BAD.
The very epitome of "don't put your dick in there"
HAS BEEN RUNNING PERFECTLY SINCE 1915, LOOKS AND SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING... UNFORTUNATELY THE HSE HAVE TURNED UP... WE NEED HANDRAILS, KICK BOARDS, SAFETY GLASS, SAFE WALKWAYS CLEARLY PAINTED ON THE FLOORS, 3,657 SAFETY AWARENESS SIGNS ERRECTED, BLAR BLAR BLAR BLAR BLAR BLAR BLAR. 😭😭😭, 🤣🤣🤣... A CREDIT TO THE WORKFORCE, WELL DONE
If it's been running since 1915 and doing the job of pumping, then it's proved it's suitability, reliability and longevity. It would be stupid to replace it.
*you mean 557,25kW
Spectacular! Imagine the joy they felt on the first start in 1915! You had the advantage of knowing it already worked. Nice job! How many Amps does it take to make that wonderful sound?
fantastic motor generator wow
IDK why but I associate the sound of that motor with a factory, like, just a generic factory making random stuff. When that thing hummed to life I was like "huh, I wonder if this is a factory" xD
Makes all the difference when something is engineered for installation longevity vs MVP (minimum viable product). Notice how only one has "product" in the term.
& not a single safety guard in sight. 😂
Sounds great 😁
Looks like a giant turbo
That little voice in the back of my head: "stick your arm in it"
Literally all Half-Life machinery sounds from Lambda Complex IRL.
guys will look at this and be like hell yeah brother
fine machine buildung
Find it hard to believe a motor that size is just 750 hp
Maybe this is their bemused reaction to realising they wired it backwards :D
That’s a thing of beauty!
750 horsepower. But enough torque to turn a skyscraper.
Looks like an old classic car tire. If only that red ring was white
They had crazy stuff back then. I was at an old Industrial site today. It made me think, that people were much more intelligent then.
Uh huh, no social media back then.
the Titans will be scared of that!
I know that hanji.🤣
Wooow. This Electric motor more 110 years old. Very amazing starting and Spinning up Sound.❤👌👍👍Please more making such videos.
Love the startup sound
Massive respect for rewinding it over replacing it.
