FAQ from the comments
1. What do you do with all the motors?
You might be new here, but nearly every project on my channel has an electric motor in it. I love making things that move. Also I create teaching videos (like the one you just watched), so I am looking to collect as many different motor types as I can find, then create videos about how they work and how to use them. Check out bonus 2 from the references above.
2. Can you make a generator/windmill/ etc with these motors?
Check out my series on the generator project. You will learn a great deal there.

Final Note:
PLEASE UNDERSTAND...I receive hundreds of messages on all platforms (email, Facebook, comments etc) asking for advice, and help with projects. At this volume, I simply can't do one on one advice. - Jak na to + styl
Smart man, well spoken, info per minute rate ( IPM) is great! THIS is a CZcams, Best Use: shared Experience. Thank You. Subscribed!
I second this. Excellent all around!
I was about to leave this same comment befor I saw yours. Thumbs up
I agree with you 100%
@@jakeschrag thanks for your support of making YT great!!
I don't subscribe after one video very often, great video, thanks!
This can't be CZcams. There's no stupid music. The presenter gets right to the point and provides supremely useful information. I'm confused.
your not alone
I was planning to fast-forward/skip the video, but continued to watch it because of your comment. Thank you!
@Zane Zuccaro obviously youtube trends ;)
I also am struck relatively silent. Except for now...
Indeed it is Mark. How are things on the farm?
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.
Happy little treadmills
Yes or like the Julius Sumner Miller; Who never gets the attention he deserves.
Bob Ross = Fraud !
Best part was "I'm not even an electrician". Lol same here
I’m not an electrician but I play one on tv.
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!
I respect any man who drags a wood-chipper home to pull the motor.
@CW NunyaDamnBiznez I drag home anything with a wire
@@vimalakirti3908 😅good one
Vimala Kirti
You just made me laugh lol
Now imagine him dragging the chipper home just to find out that the neighbour already took the motor out😂😂
@@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.🙌🙌😁😁
This was great.
well if real engineering says it's great, must be worth watching.
What are u doing here buddy *insert lenny face*
I wonder if I'm here because of Real Engineering...
I saw the title and thought it was a real engineering video
OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH....
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!
Hello
My brother in-law is a software engineer. In other words he's bad cholesterol. Of no use. Makes every day things insanely over complicated.
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.
Im hoping you wrote 'collăge' instead of 'college' on purpose. 🙂
@@AJNoon I Fukin' knew it!!!!!!! Lol
Hey do you know any other channels that are as good as this guy
I am glad your channel got recommended to me. Once in a while algorithm works.
This is CZcams at its finest. No BS, no gate keeping, no talking down. Just good info with a nice defined scope and purpose.
Perfect!! No background music !!! No distractions,easy to understand.😊
Straight to the point
Instantly hooked. No flashy edits, besides the fast forward, which is fine with me.
No slideshows
Good grief, no kidding!
Zaklee!
Your ability to speak to the layman and teach complex subjects without resorting to jargon is incredible. I'm subbed!
Jeremy, you are fantastic at getting your message and knowledge across to us. You have a great blend of taking technical specifications and merging it to real world applications. Keep up the great work, I can’t stop watching your videos and I’m excited to see more.
Learnt more from this guy in 10 min than my 3 years in technical school.
sounds like its time for *puts sunglasses on* you to cut your losses. YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

That’s not good. We’re you listening in class? This is strange forward stuff with respect to motors.
@@KatoOnTheTrack1 did you really mean straight? That's strange otherwise.
"Fat kid on a see saw" this man speaks simple truths!
Haha
when you're the fat kid there are no see saws only catapults
Cruel, but a great analogy !
@@fredprater5012 I was the fat kid, can confirm.
I'm a fat kid and my see saw felt this
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!!
Excellent description on various motors available to us home engineers.
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.
This video ALONE has reached 180,000 people so far. I'd say he's not worried about keeping things from the world...
@@CortMarshal hey come on dont be like that. no need to be needlessly confrontational.
@@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
Agreed 100%!
@@greekkidshows9373 true.
This is what I want to see on CZcams, real information from someone who knows what he's talking about.
Exactly.
Eloquent explaination, love your candid delivery style
This presentation was flawless in so many ways, it doesn’t feel like CZcams. Thanks for sharing your immense knowledge man.
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.
Agreed
@@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.
Awesome thanks
You know someone is good when many questions are answered with links to their other videos!
Dude. If only CZcams was like this everywhere. Amazing video. Thank you for the time taken. :)
I wish all CZcams videos were concise and informative like this one.
Clear, with abundant information, and the consciousness of countries other than the USA existing, thank you.
True, so hard to find such a nice american just not thinking USA is the entire world. And also, very nice accent, I'm not english speaker and I understood all of it... well I had to google what a treadmill was lol
Great way to put it.
@@JP-xd6fm You realize that this is how most middle class people speak in the U.S., right? Also you are on a platform based out of our country. So who is the one being rude saying you should be included?
@@iian_ Sorry, movies, music ant tv gave me a bad idea of how the afro-american people speaks, for example for me is hard to follow Dave Chappelle's stand up or Chris Rock, maybe also because they speak so fast, lol.
What do you mean I'm in a platform based out of your country? , I don't get that.
@@iian_ What is that supposed to mean? "CZcams is American, so everyone outside the US should either stand in line or fuck off" ?? Im guessing that kind of thinking is the exact thing Francisco, backed by J P meant.
You clear but not over simplified presentation cleared up some confusion / questions I’ve had about motors. Thanks
This man should be well supported. And it’s the second time I say such a thing since started using the internet.
Jeremy is a legend at explaining things accurately and concisely.
CZcams 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
BTW, you are obviously the type of super-smart dude I admire…the type whose knowledge is based on real world experience!
Excellent vid for refresher and update! Thank you Jeremy, you're an excellent educator.
one of the last remaining 'straight to the point' channels. what a gem
This guys channel is gold. He’s on my top 10 recommended for engineering friends.
Thank you! A Recommendation is the greatest compliment

Top 10!!??? Top 1 I’d say!
This video is amazing. Clarifying any confusion or questions before they happen. Just really well done.
This channel is gonna be my new candy store. Motor's paradise.
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.
I am guessing you don't work in China, Russia or India.
@@soarer282 if you're talking about me you are right.
Sorry, I see a divorce in your future!
If i ask to take a broken motor home i can't so yeah there are more people that wanne fix "trash" but most are not allowed
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!

Just watched this video for a second time after seeing it a couple of years ago. It was just as entertaining a second time around but this time I was chasing information for an upcoming project and as I expected it had the stuff I wanted.
Thanks.
Great info. You have made it where I strip motors out of anything I throw away.
Me too! I rip motors of all sizes out of my old junk. Even tiny motors. Cd drives to vacuums to garage doors
I just found this channel, this is the 5th video i'm watching in a row. My weekend is shot now.
I love how you organize and execute your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge sir!
I think it's pretty cool that the smartest guy on CZcams is humble enough to tell you up front he could make a mistake..
How am I just now finding this? You are amazing, sir.
That was an excellent video. Thank you for the education
Answered my question in first 5 minutes. Thank You, Jeremy.
focused intent, Usable information, expert delivery, valid opinion posed from the "one of us" perspective. 10-10-10
I am a 67 year old grandmother who wants to learn more. Your video is one of the best I have ever watched on CZcams. I actually learned something rather than listening to someone who just likes to hear themself talk. Thank you and keep making these videos.
I am so glad CZcams brought me here. This channel will become really useful when i start doing my DIY projects
Studying engineering right now and I’m very glad I found this channel, real life application conversations are the best! You’re doing gods work 🙏
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!
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
A pleasure to listen to someone who understands their subject as well as this person.
Wish I could hit the like button more than once. This video deserves many moments of "Wow this is awesome!"
I love CZcams. Never get tired of accidentally stumbling across really great channels like this one! Subscribed, thanks!
"you put a fat kid on a see-saw" SUBSCRIBED
Engineers can't be bothered with this PC crap..
@@SteveJobzz 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
This was one of my biggest things confusing me when I started building stuff. Thanks for explaining !
Great job delivering helping others You can have anyone telling others how to fix repair - But you can't beat a well spoken person with passion that can teach others, instructor educator & first time watching your video after others I subscribe for your passion for what you do that makes & can deliver what your doing is the best
Fielding provides an excellent summary and explanation of many electric motor types, with motors in hand. Excellent teacher. Thanks!
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 concur. Bravo and Subbed.
Same.
If he is not a teacher, he certainly should be.

Excellent practical professional teacher. Wish I had him teaching me 50 years ago.
Brilliant. Spent loads of time reading about motors & you just summed up everything I needed to know in 20 mins. Thanks :)
Motors. A very big subject. I think you have done a good job of providing an overview of them.
Always a treat to see a video from you, Jeremy. Thanks for posting all of this useful info!
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.
This was a fantastic explanation of motors and especially the relationship between torque and RPM. This is going on my list of resources.
Over the last year and a half, I have watched this four times, at least. I learn or retain something new every time.
Thanks again.
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!
Fantastic presentation and very interesting to me. Good man!
Great descriptions and such helpful information - I learned more about electric motors in 20 minutes than all the internet reading I've done over several years. Thank you!
My guy you are doing a great service for your fellow man by sharing your knowledge in such an easy to understand way. Thanks.
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.
Thanks man you got great explanations that easy to understand
Any time I have a question about motors, I simply refer to Jeremy’s videos. He has something about everything.
Thank you, Sir. This was very helpful for me, straight to the point, no bs, i like.
Greetings from Germany
This is the best explanation of electric motors that I have ever seen. Thank you
Man, I am _really_ digging your content. You do a wonderful job of presenting the information. Keep up the great work, brother.
Thank you Jeremy! You explain what these motors do and how they work so much better than even an electrician would.
ty, you explain engineering topics well in very plain way, this is a gift.
Jeremy Fielding you are a one man electric motor engineering university. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Seen many videos on this topic but this was explained perfectly.
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.
What a refreshing thing for a man to just start a video supplying dense information, no fluff no beating around the bush. Great stuff dude.
Very nice! Tech for 30 yrs. Learned something new today. Thank you
@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!!!
First time watching this guy. I am hooked! This was amazing. So much information, so well spoken. As an educator, I will be analyzing his delivery as well as use the content in my DIY projects. Thanks!
In case nobody told you today I just wanted to say you're amazing my friend keep up the great work. You inspire me
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!!!
Well done young man! Lots of information, clear and concise, with a great list of references. Great Video.
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 again. You make it seem simple. It truly a gift

That's a really neat overview, you are doing here!
Fabulous! Well said, well organized, comprehensively cross-referenced.
Truly exemplary work. Bravo!
This is one of the best you tube that i've seen,, well explained in every details that all viewer's wants to know and see. Thanks smart and brilliant man.
Info more dense than gold.....I need to re watch this a few times and take notes. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Love your videos! I'm a middle school STEM teacher, but always been a tinkerer at heart. I can sense your passion for this stuff... you're helping to reinvigorate my passion. Thanks!
20 minutes packed with information, best intro to electric motors! Subscribed.
Much gratitude, from someone who didn't take shop classes. This relatively basic information is harder to come by than one might think.
