At the point in the commentary where small electric motor was mentioned the clip actually showed part of the mechanical transmission that looked either like a coupling or maybe a torque transducer. It is certainly small compared to the electric motor. But the motors isn't a very big electric motor.....
This is what a
fairly big electric machine looks like:
It's 6,500 kW, 11,000V and electronically speed controlled I might add.
At that sort of power, getting your sums wrong just isn't an option.
Either technically or commercially.
I put in quite a few hours burning the midnight candle.......
