The translation of "Silnik od pralki" from Polish to English is "Washing machine engine."
I removed the engine from the washing machine (400 W and 230-240V). And the number of cables connected to it surprised me a bit (6).
As far as I understand, the two red ones are the generator for measuring the motor's work.
The next two are the power supply for the commutator brushes.
And the last two are the power supply for the stator coils.
I think the engine will start if I send a direct current through the series-connected windings of the stator and rotor. Of course, with an appropriately low voltage.
What do you think about this, and do you have any ideas, for example, whether it is possible to make a small wind power plant from such an engine?
