It would seem like the caps would limit the current. What would the capacitance have to be for it to resonate at 60Hz?

He says that the caps are running the mots in resonant. Which means more current, not less.

Very neat, but perhaps we ought to mention to any newbies here that this is NOT acceptable for beginners!

Now, I want to see someone (experienced) do that with a pole pig!

I would like to see a pole pig operating in resonance also. I don't think anyone here has access to the required power source to do it.

I have always thought this mot stack was crazy.
