Nissan Leaf Electric Motor as a GENERATOR!

I take a look at testing out a Nissan Leaf Motor to produce electricity.
Please click SHOW MORE!

In this video, I play around with creating 3-Phase power simply by spinning the motor by hand! I demonstrate the principles by making it power up some LEDs.

Chapter Points:
00:00 Intro
1:38 Powering a single LED from power supply
2:43 Powering a single LED from the Leaf Motor
7:11 Powering a 12VDC Automotive Light Bulb
9:10 2 LEDs alternating with each other
10:26 Second Phase for another LED
12:27 3 LEDs, 6 Wires
14:52 3 LEDs in a triangle formation (Delta)
17:53 Second Triangle of LEDs overlaid on the first set
19:07 Frequency (Hz)
21:31 Would I use this as a generator?
21:52 Advantages of this unit as a Generator
23:15 Conclusion

3-Phase power is neat stuff! Learn more about it at the Wikipedia article:
