No Loads
Hey RS,
John always said "it's not a motor, it's an energizer" so we never tried to pull a mechanical load on any of the machines. The 6 coiler turned too fast for the big fans. Anything that may look like a pulley would probably have been a power-take-off for a dynamometer test, which is why you don't see that feature in very many pictures. The big solenoid machine that John and I built was the first thing we made to try to run a mechanical load. It could turn a conventional generator and get good electrical recovery as well.
