that's the one issue i have with the speedway tracks i've been to only have powders on hand and categories such as sprintcars and super sedans that run on methanol once the electrical has been isolated they only need to use water yet the Mothar Mountain track is the only that i know of that have a fire hose on one of their water trucks but it is never out or even (as in the case of the last super sedan meet to be held at Mothar Mountain) to even have water in it

@Lachlant1984 i had a defective"now recalled" KIDDE 10 pound ABC dry chem extinguisher go off by itself , the top valve assy blew off and it took off across the boiler room into the living room before crashing into 2 bottles of jack Daniels and a dresser ,it smashed it and made a huge mess with yellow ABC powder, KIDDE recalled these 10 lbs commercial units soon after this ,they also paid for the damages plus $500.extra for my inconviences

Mmmm, that motor is nice. :-) What would the Westinghouse DC generator think if you were to use this motor to drive it? Yep, a nice mechanical AC-to-DC convertor. :-D I hope that you keep and restore that Crompton motor. Please don't pop it or scrap it for copper if it works OK. It would be funny to make a desk fan out of that motor...All is needs, is a large set of propellers on it, and it's good to go. :-D {^_^} BoomBoxDeluxe {^_^}

@Aussie50 My God, that's deadly. So you have to ask then why didn't the fire technician release the pressure from the extinguishers before dumping them? Sure they'd understand the very serious risks about these things, you'd also want to hope that have access to any equipment needed for releasing pressure from these extinguishers.

Lachlant1984 commented on 19 Feb 2012

@daewooparts Whoa, what a mess, so I clearly understand now, and I saw your other comment about someone shooting at one, not cool, if anyone was standing in the way of one of those things, they wouldn't have a chance. Very dangerous. I'm just glad you lived to tell the stories.

my friend still has a few old crompton motors in his paper and box packaging company back in korea ,those are really quiet and durable ,i seen the same motors working there back from the 80's till the present,he bought them back in the early 80's as used surplus from australia

Aussie50 commented on 08 Sep 2013

good to hear they still make somthing there!, its a damn shame most of the electric motor industry has gone over to Asia, its usually the expensive special use motors that are made locally. a normal 1hp 4 pole 3ph motor would cost 1/4 the cost coming from China

Hi, I visited a fire extinguisher place a while back, the powder or foam gets sucked out, and disposed of properly, the handle gets screwed off then the cylinder goes in a cage to scrap. I have 2x water, 2x foam, 2x powder (exactly like yours) and 3x CO2.....

daewooparts commented on 18 Feb 2012

@Aussie50 the CO2 extinguishers are deadly when punctured , my friend shot one with a high powered rifle at over 800 ft away , it exploded and the bottom whissed past him and crushed the fender in on his van parked behind him ,thank god no one got hit with it

Lachlant1984 commented on 18 Feb 2012

I don't know too much about fire extinguishers, but I assume if a fully pressurised fire extinguisher were to rupture or even explode and there were people nearby or valuable property, there could be serious damage, injury or deaths. Am I right?

Brook Crompton still have a motor factory in Huddersfield in the UK. The amount of motor & engine companies that used to be based in the North of England is staggering! Sadly the vast majority are gone now.

Nice old motor. How are plugs wired there? Most everything there are 220v right, so for 220v is it 2 or 3 wires, and how about 240v? Here most everything is 110v, 2 wired plus ground, 220v would be 3 wires.

Aussie50 commented on 18 Feb 2012

@redneckbryon our 240V is a single phase (one live and one neutral) but if somthing is 3 phase it can be either 220V or 415V in 3 wires, plus a neutral wire if you wish to tap into one phase for 240V

Lachlant1984 commented on 19 Feb 2012

@BlueFoxTV I'm sure the YouTube user game alarm made a video about a Halon alarm of some type, doesn't Halon gas put out the fire by removing Oxygen from the air or something like that?

Aussie50 commented on 18 Feb 2012

@Lachlant1984 yes, a pressurized CO2 extinguisher like the one I had could punch a hole in a weatherboard or tin shed wall with little trouble if the valve head was snapped off!

Aussie50 commented on 18 Feb 2012

@redneckbryon our grid system is similar to yours exept all household power items are 240v, and occasionally big HVAC systems require 3 phase and it is fittted for that

seeing what you have done to plasma screens, dryers/washers etc, that conveyor wont be much of a problem for you to destroy good vid btw

Bi Lock 102 commented on 20 Feb 2012

@Aussie50 Thanks, some water and foam units i have seen have a schrader valve behind the handle :D..... but need 100psi to work (700kPa)

Aussie50 commented on 18 Feb 2012

@CorbyStarletCj1 yeh if its loose cardboard or wood shit it would go everywhere!. water is best as long as live electrics aren't nearby

MrShawn305 commented on 17 Jun 2012

Man that 3 phase motor would work perfect for that diesel engine to run! 3 phase, 1500 RPM, I would say give it a shot!

MrDubje commented on 18 Feb 2012

Nice finds. Maybe one day you will get a VFD with a three phase output. Fire extinguishers can always come in handy.

"Based on the proportion of twenty-first century carbon dioxide emissions provided by one large coal-fired plant over its lifetime, I concluded that a single power plant should be assigned responsibility for exterminating about four hundred species… That day in Iowa I realized those coal trains are death trains. The railroad cars may as well be loaded with the species themselves, carrying them to their extermination." -- James Hansen, Storms of My Grandchildren

And when it is burned most of it is waster : either 1) inefficiency in combustion 2) lost in transmission 3) wasted when it arrives at your office / house - lighting bulbs in rooms that are empty, heating houses with drafty doors and windows, running hot clothes washes that aren't needed, powering a TV on 'standby' that is on all night........,

topjmy What about people like me who love nuclear power plants and hate coal? We need a lot more nuclear power plants, natural gas plants, solar generation, biomass generation, hydropower, geothermal, and diesel power plants.

topjmy commented on 14 Nov 2012

The same environmentalists that stopped nuke plants from being built now want to stop coal.

MidBosque commented on 18 Oct 2013

Please, leave the 20th century.

Actually thank the engineers.
