What To Do With A Slavaged Engine

[Red October]

there is a relatively new air conditioning unit at the construction sight at a building being demolished at my school. its a pretty small electric motor. but hypothetically, if i came into possession of a similiar motor, what could i do with it?

could someone fix the typo in the title?

:lol: Thats an odd question. :)

As in, use it for what? there's an unlimited amount of things you could do with motors.

Generally, by itself, the motor cant really be used for much.

If its AC then there's not much things you could do unless you take up being a DIY electrician which I wouldnt advise, and im guessing it is AC.

yea you gotta be careful around electronic crap that you "found." You could try selling it, or throwing it at people.

Could use it to build a big van der graff generator, then zap people. Usually funny..

On with a couple of small modifications run it backwords as a generator.

i have no technical skill or experience with these sorts of things, so i dont know how i would be able to do anything with it. but it looks cool and i might be able to figure something out.

I second what redcannon throw it at someone. Throw it at a nazi drop it on his dead or something.
