130 Year Old Electric Motor/Dynamo!

Although a bit of a basket case, this rare 19th century electric bipolar motor/dynamo is going to get an overhaul and will run a small knob and tube display in the lineshaft shop.

In this country and other developed countries asbestos is a big deal - It the same for lung cancer - 1 in 20 have lung problems in the U.S. that includes none smokers and smokers - Yet only 20% smoke in the U.S. - it's the same with aspestose it's been demonized - 1 in 20 house dogs, cats and stabled horses come down with emphysema also that leads to lung cancer in the U.S. - In India aspestose is still mind and has many applications - In France 1 out of 3 smoke yet health wise there rated number one in the world when it comes to developed nations - The U.S. is rated 73 health wise - aspestose and emphysema is the result of defficcencys in sulphur and vitamin C along with other minerals in our diet - I've had all those health issues in the past - You can look up MSM on you tube and learn about it - If you get it get the 99.9% pure granulated type - At one time I needed oxygen not any more - For some reason there are statements on the net that France has a high rate of cancer - there is no truth to that - The U.S. does have a high rate of cancer -
