[@TheDuckofDoom.]

I skim the 4-5 star reviews then go straight to the 1-2 star and finish with a few 3 star. 1-2 star taken together can indicate design flaws or general quality issues. Though only after filtering for the people that ordered the wrong product or color and their world collapsed. "This pepper grinder is fantastic but took an extra day to arrive and was dented when I used it as a jack stand for my truck, one star!" 3-4 stars seem to be the most confused, often the essay portion seems to describe 1-2 star quality. "I would have given 5 stars but it burst into flames after only 4 uses so I knocked a star off. Would have rated only 3 stars but they sent be a replacement for the cost of shipping."

The skew in the rotor performs a similar function to helical cut gears. Smooths out the torque since the magnetic fields engage somewhat gradually.

I believe the angle in the rotor bars is to prevent the entirety of the rotor bar from passing the electrical neutral plane at once. As the conductor passes through the ENP it is parallel with the magnetic lines of flux and therefore the flux isn't cutting the conductor, meaning it doesn't induce a voltage.

Came for the knife sharpener; left with a masters in trig.

[@saabstory4778]

When I was a chef we had machines like this for knife sharpening. Mostly for the newbies and prep cooks and whatnot, who can't use a steel properly without having to look for their fingers on the ground afterwards. I hated it. It was a cheap version though, maybe cost about $15. Made the knives about as sharp as the edge of a brick. Ours had itty bitty grinding wheels inside instead of those reciprocating diamond coated pads.

[@jp040759]

The unit you have has oscillating hones and only 2 stage. The other unit you had on the paperwork is a 3 stage. It uses rotating discs to sharpen. This 3 stage unit is impressive. I have had mine for 6 or more years. When you sharpen with the first 2 stages they grind the knife edge to 2 different angles and set the angle of the edge. The last stage is a stropping wheel and finely polishes the edge. I can tell you this. When your are done sharpening a knife with the 3 stager you CAN literally shave with it. After my initial round of sharpening all my knives the first time after purchasing it, my arms were hairless. It does take some time to master the process but it does work well.

[@douglasb1789]

I've had the 3 stage for over 20 years, works like a charm. AvE needs to not be a cheap fuk and get the real one, not this cheapo version. It doesn't f up your blades, like the model Ave got, if you want I can post pictures of 25 year old knives still going strong, no scratch marks from the sharpener like he did. But don't drop when you take it apart, I can't say what it will do if you do.

[@marukarumu13]

“Single phase” skewed rotor bars allows the bars to enter magnetic flux of one tooth of the stater before leaving the flux of the tooth next to it. Making a more constant torque and have less vibration. That’s what I read here in my Richard j. Fowler Electricity principles and applications 8th edition. Help-full for a shaded pole stater I think.

[@idahospud938]

Yup that's correct. It's to maintain consistent torque, as opposed to having a series of step-changes as a different set of rotor conductors come into play.

[@joekoncovy5624]

It's actually to smooth out torque pulsations caused as the rotor field cuts across the stator field. If the rotor bars are parallel with the stator slots it cause vibration from the abrupt change in the magnetic field. Think of driving your car over a ditch head on at 90 deg vs taking it a an angle. All modern three phase and single phase motorss have skewed bars. It does increase the slip slightly but much lower 2X line frequency.

[@matman7546]

Good work on the 'missing instructions' excuse. That's brilliant because the instructions say, "Make sure you get a distinct BURR on the blade edge before moving from step 1 to step 2". So if you'd found the instructions your key complain would have been ruined. Gotta keep the information accurate! PS: The 3-step version from Cambodian Tired is $65 and has rotating discs vs. reciprocating pads. If you're a lazy non-chef, who can't be bothered to get a good knife and sharpen it properly, this is a handy product.

[@BruceS42]

We have a different model (EdgeSelect 15), and the instructions are pretty specific about how to use it. You're supposed to use one pair of slots the first time for a particular knife to get it to the 15 degree edge, but I think that's what the model shown doesn't do at all. The remaining two pairs of slots are for re-sharpening. Each pair, you're supposed to use the same amount each side, to keep it symmetric, with one pair being for fine sharpening, the other for honing. If you don't follow the directions, of course you're going to have a gnarly edge. You could do the same with stones, using them wrong and then saying they're faulty. I still use a steel most of the time, just to keep the edges, but the electric sharpener did a great job, with me actually following directions. It was a lot faster than using stones, and the edges are more consistent than I could get them.

[@allansmith6140]

Proper knife sharpening is an art, an art that was once mastered by most men. Nowadays most men would not have a clue and look for gadgets to do this job as a solution - I don't mean you AvE, I am sure you know how to sharpen just about anything by hand. The way I sharpen my kitchen knives is on my drillpress using small 5" medium grit wheel on half speed. Having the wheel horizontal gives you more control, I use the sides of the wheel. Now I know the sides of a grinding wheel is not supposed to be used as it reduces the thickness of it and can weaken it to the point where it disintegrates, however I have been using the same wheel for 30 years as I hardly touch the wheel whilst sharpening so wear has been minimal. I can sharpen about about a dozen knives in about 5 minutes and I am removing no more material on the knives than I would on sharpening stones by hand which would take me half an hour. The operation gives the knives a slightly serrated finish which aids in cutting through food stuffs. There is a saying that a dull knife is more likely to cut you than a sharp knife, that is true but only up to a point. I would never put razor sharp knives in my kitchen or give them to most people, I only finish my personal knives like that and sometimes I might even give myself a small accidental cut if I am not paying attention, all it takes is a small tap. Most of my cutting tools are that sharp, knives, axes, machetes. Then then there are some cutting tools that I keep only moderately sharp. Last year a friend of mine asked me to sharpen his hunting knife, I could see the attempts at this by him and his friends, all they did was make it blunter and scratch it. It was only some piece of chinese junk but having nothing better to do I gave it the royal treatment including a mirror finish to the blade. When I returned it to him and he realized how sharp it was his eyes turned into that of an owl and he started handling it like some hot potato. He asked me how long it had taken me to sharpen it expecting the answer to be I suppose an hour. I told him 10 minutes which was true - grind, stone and polish to the blade and then the edge by hand. Is sharpening by hand hard? No its easy but it does take an interest and investment in time to become proficient at it.

The angles on the rotor shaft make the transitions of the slots smoother. This makes the invovled waveforms smoother as well. The result is less THD on the motor/generator output. It also helps with the torque and reduces cogging. I don't remember what is the trade off. There must be something

@@vetrnymlyn2 If you want to skip the practice you can always get a angle guide setup like a Lansky system. I learned on a hard Arkansas whetstone when I was 15 years old but today I appreciate the accuracy of the angle guide system more than the convenience of the pocket whetstone.

I got a very similar machine from my father in laws house (cleaning it out after they passed away). It was probably built in the 70's or 80's, and had an extra stage under a plastic cover on the left side, in addition to the sharpening and honing stages. I use it mainly for two knives, the ones we use most often, and probably 2-3 times a year for 5-10 minutes a stretch. It was free, so I didn't overpay, it does work for sharpening our knives, so no real complaints there, and since it runs 5-10 minutes at a stretch and has probably done so since the 80's (maybe 70's) I'd say it works pretty good. On the other hand, I have a vitamin blender after I finally broke down and paid way more than any human should, but it replaced the multiple Ninja and Nutribullets that I wore out. It is used daily and, as you video attested, is skookum as hell.

[@drooplug]

I have the model that includes the grinding wheels. I find that using those is important to get the bevel set on the knife so it matches the honing stones. I agree that it is tricky to use. Especially to sharpen the tips, but it works.

The hangulation on the magnetic conductors is for smooth rotation of the motor. Its like the piston movement in an engine. When the piston is at the bottom of the stroke, its rod rotates on the piston, gradually accelerating the piston to top stroke. The tip of the magnetic pad hits the magnetic field and eases the ingress in the magnetic relationship with the AC wave form.

I trust your opinion on tools and manufactured goods, watching your videos has taught me how to look at the inside codes and the like that most people overlook.

I got a good laugh when you tore down the guy who took 5 min to type out and express his opinion from a guy who spends his life making videos to express his opinion. Love your vids by the way

That stick that comes with some knife sets is made to deroll knife edges. Normal use will make it roll over or bend side to side. Bending it back straight with the stick thing brings back the sharp edge between actual sharpenings.

Another knife edge fucky upper device. I wrote an article for a German magazine for chefs a few years ago. I compared sharpening your knife with a stone, special knife sharpening tools, slow water grinders and those "easy sharpening" devices. The later always fuck up the blade of the knife. You can see it on a microscope. Also they enforce an angle to the knife that might simply be wrong. I got blades sharpened only on one site, i got some for meat with a compound grind, i got hollow grind, thin grinds....... So even if they don't murder the blade by chipping it, they mess up the angle of the grind.

[@herpnderpn2484]

Honestly, I'll buy cheap knifes and sharpeners. Those barely functioning people I've worked with couldn't figure out a butchers steel, or stone, and can't reliably do anything beyond 3 steps in setting a plate. Fine dining is one thing, average neighborhood sit-down $10 entree is a whole different batch. "Why are you letting the knifes bang around in the dishwasher"? ".....I dunno"

[@MrJgstoner]

I dunno, man. I've taken time out of my day to drunkenly do WAY more questionable things than write amazon reviews.

[@AreThereNoMoreNames]

I've sharpened kitchen, work, camping, and fun knives for years on stones, picked up a Worksharp last year, Ken Onion version, and it's quite a good sharpener. It'll roll the edge on coarser grits, but you work your way down and have an edge that's shave-worthy. And most of it's built pretty well, couple plastic pieces seem a little light but have held up well, probably intended to be replaceable. Haven't had a look inside as I'm a fan of the way that it just works.

[@DaleB809]

Out of all the KZbin channels this is my number 1. You say it the way it is and dont give a crap. Just awsome!!!!!

[@squib308]

re: product reviews on amazon, etc. & the star system - Their system is BS, it gives even the worst product a 20% score. Artificially inflates bad products to not look quite as terrible. I guess you could re-scale the reviews by assigning 1=0% 2=25% 3=50% 4=75% and 5=100%. Then multiply the number of 1's, plus 2's, etc out, divide by the number of total reviews and get a more realistic 0-100% view of how good/bad the product is. I think that would work? Someone with coding skills (and maybe better math skills :) could write a browser extension that fixes the score. That would be fantastic! re: carbon/iron - Pretty sure a minimal basically negligible amount of carbon will move from a diamond into iron/steel at room temperature.

[@yacinebenahmed_uqar]

Brooks Ellis good idea, was looking for a "I don't have any spare time" project... (down the rabbit hole I go...)

[@hatboy7877]

Agreement from here on both the web extension and the bit about diamonds. I've used diamond sharpening plates and diamond lapping fluids forever and never had problems with carbon inclusion even on really tight tolerance and highly inspected parts. The problem comes in when electric power gets added to the equation and there is enough power and speed behind the abrasive to really heat the steel at the contact area of the abrasive and get diamond to transfer carbon into the surface. Even then, you have to grind the piss out of something for there to be a significant amount of transfer, at least in my experience.

[@hillbillyholler516]

Shoot when i give an honest bad review the cheap procks tell me its in violation and wont post it. Fack amazon the damnnnnn liars and cheats

[@allesklarklaus147]

Nobody is gonna buy a 1 star product though so it would be quite useless to do this. You'd have to correct all previous videos basically into a 0-4 out of 4 scale and than calculate the overall new 4 star score which is hard to do since older reviews disappear or need extra loading and clicky click 10 times. Just don't buy from these bastards anymore if you can

[@1noryb]

When I look at a review, I just de-rate by 1 star. Nothings perfect.

[@henriquecasonatto8881]

this rotor is known as squirrel-cage rotor Normally, the conductors are in a nearly straight line, but for high torque applications the rotor is skewed, which increases the angle of the conductors. now some curiosities. to correct this power factor we could use a capacitor. here the calculations (for single phase of course) calculated power factor PF = P(W) / (V(V) × I(A)) PF =48W/(120X1) PF=0.4 C(F) = Q(VAR) / (2πf(Hz)×V(V)2) S(VA)| = V(V) × I(A) S = 120v x 1A=120VA Q(VAR) = √(|S(VA)|2 - P(W)2) Q=√|120VA|^2-|48W|^2 =~110VAR C(F) = Q(VAR) / (2πf(Hz)×V^2 2π60=~377 C(F)=110/(377X14400)=20,26e-6(uF) SO FOR CORRECT THIS TERRIBLE POWER FACTOR WE NEED A CAPACITOR OF ~20uF IN PARALLEL WHITH THE MOTOR

[@allmycircuits8850]

And then we need to reduce surge current through this capacitor, to reduce spark in the outlet or in switch when this thing is turned on, so we put NTC resistor in series with all this stuff (or with capacitor alone)...

[@henriquecasonatto8881]

[@Tom-ec5ze]

i'm not a n electric motor designer, but i work in an automotive company (as a mechanical engineer) and i work with bldc motors. About your question of the windings angle on a squirrel's cage : my first thought about this is to ensure that the winding is continuously in the magnetic flux, regardless of the rotor's angle . then you have a continuous torque, I've seen that on bldc motors windings, and as you can see on your bigger squirrel's cage, the angle is less important, but the length of the rotor is more important, so the total angle for one winding on the rotor is approximately the same. it depends on the number of poles, and sometimes, when you have a huge reduction ratio and/or a great number of poles it is not necessary, because the resultant increment is small enough to be neglected on the felt torque (i work mostly with power steering motors , ~1KW - 12V , long live the amps)

[@lebeshahmed5358]

been watching your vigales for few years now. they never cease to entertain ! your by far the best doodilytuber i know of ! never stop captin.

[@VentShop]

By the time you buy something like this you may as well get a cheapo harbor freight mini belt sander and some belts for knife sharpening that include a leather strop belt. Then make some wood blocks that you can rest the knife on and set your angle. End up spending about the same amount and end up with fresh razor blades instead of the used ones your wife shaved her legs with and left rusting on the side of the tub for a couple weeks.

[@pikachu.922]

Lansky sharpener all the way, can be a bit finicky but you can get a mirror edge with it.

[@rykehuss3435]

Lansky is great. Does a better job than any freehand 'master' sharpener.

[@eddievanhorn5497]

Mirror edge? I think you're confusing two figures of speech.

[@pikachu.922]

Nope, the edge is reflective like a mirror.

[@scruffy6151]

Fake or incentivized reviews? I have been asked twice in the last few months to leave a 5 star review and positive comment by amazon sellers. In return they shipped me free product. Can provide the emails.

[@coffeeandcigars]

@AvE My brother and I have dubbed you our "Shop dad". No need to worry about adopting us, we just adopted you. On the topic of "affiliate links". Shop dad, why don't we just take the 7% and put it in the "beer fund"? I do a ton of purchasing on Amazon and love the idea of contributing to the "vejayose"! Just my two cents. THANK YOU! You have no idea how much you have taught me and even helped me grow. You got me curious about things that didn't exist in front of my computer but in my garage. I had to step out of my comfort zone and try some new things. I can't thank you enough brother, Keep it up!

[@Shin4m4]

The angulation of the rotor or stator stack is call skewing. It's done to reduce the cogging torque, e.g. the pulsation of the torque cause by the mechanical design of the stator/rotor.

[@CarsSimplified]

I got roughly the same results with a $1 IKEA sharpener.

[@adamjankowski8658]

And in a kitchen = near water and sinks and suchlike - but no earth? How bloody dangerous is that?

[@drphu]

WHen you have those type motors apart and re-assemble them, it's always good to smack the shaft to align the bearings - since the start torque is so low! I put a flat blade on the shaft inside one bushing and smack w/hammer! then the shaft will spin much more freely !

Aids in the starting torque...helps with the power factor....I was always taught the "angulations" help smooth out the torque ripples across the speed band. Looking forward to more learnings for make benefit our common (wo)man. Seriously, great explanation of how a shaded-pole motor really works. Wish I had learned that in my electrical engineering degree's motors class. To that point - I make sure every young apprentice EE I mentor sees your shit. You're fantastic. Can't say it enough. Cheers, and keep up the great f'ing work, man!

[@paul9813]

Finally found it, This is way too far down the page!

[@Max_Marz]

You gotta grind *both* sides to a rolled over edge, roll it over one way, then roll it over the other before you go to the fine stones and then you do the same thing again, burr on both sides. This makes sure you have a full bevel on both sides of the knife. I'm only saying this because it looked very clearly to me on the microscope that you had two angles on the bad side and didn't bring it to a full bevel.

[@jrstow86]

Skewed bars of a squirrel cage rotor do several things... increases starting torque. If the bars were parallel with the rotor shaft, you would have a locked rotor. Current would be high, and would burn up. The skewed angles give the stator some to pull on to create rotation. The angle also prevents cogging of the rotor, giving it a smooth, constant rotation.

[@mugogrog]

Old chef's trick, take a knife in each hand. swipe the edge of the one blade on the back on the other blade, switch sides and do that a couple of times. Takes 10 seconds and get's the job done. But hells, a machine to do mundane tasks is always more fun too. Thanks AvE for the edutainment!

Hello from Solingen/Germany - the town your knife was made in 😄

[@connorwigans8323]

If you're looking for a decent knife sharpener, check out the edge pro apex. It doesn't hurt the flats, maintains a consistent angle, and you can shave with any knife that's been sharpened with it

[@Dave5843-d9m]

A three phase motor has three coils hitting their peaks equally spaced around the circle. This is a two phase motor using resistance on one coil and reluctance on the other. Result is two waves a bit out of step. Rotor sees bump-bump pause - bump-bump pause.
