Yes, no effect. I said that.
Apparently not.I do have soem strange friends, I'll grant you that. I am the only normal

How may terminals does it have? (and if more than 2 are the the same
size?)

Given the description I doubt that it's series wound but it might be
shunt wound.

Haven't run across that configuration (that would run in the same
direction regardless of polarity as well), all the shunt wound
motors
I've seen were done that way for speed and/or torque control so
the
fiels and armature sections were separately controllable. The
universal
appliance motors i've seen (only a few) have all been series
wound.
The
larger series wound motors I've dealt with have had enough
physical
(as opposed to electrical) resistance that runaway was not a
practical
problem, not that I was tempted to rely on that often.
Yeah, I believe series wound is the one that can rev up real high.
My
dad knew a guy who had more muscle than brains, who took an old
vacuum
cleaner motor and put an old saw blade on the end of the shaft.
Made
himself a great edger, back before the days of the weed whackers.
Thing
made a nasty hissing sound. Threw some nasty sparks, too.
Anyway, I'll have to investigate further to see what this beasty
really
is. It's heavy, so it's gonna stay in my garage. Maybe I'll
put a
light bulb on the leads and give it a spin to see what happens.
Thanks.
Or short it and see if you get a braking effect.
Yeah, I took a 327 (28V) lamp and some alli clips out to the garage
and
connected them to the wires and gave it a spin. The lamp lit up
amber,
probably 10 or 12V at .04 A or so. That's pretty decent for the
hundred
or two RPMs I can spin the flywheel.
Here's what the nameplate said on it.

And here's the dead giveaway: Field Class: PM
I had suspected that it was PM - permanent magnet, because I could
feel
the poles of the armature pulling on the magnets as I spun it.
I took some pics, I'll have to post some of them on ABSE after I get
them out of my digi-cam.

I haven't done curves on it yet, but like you I put a lamp (#47) and
spun it by
hand. Lit up nicely! So I get over 6VDC at only a couple hundred
RPM. Should
make a fine wind charger.
But again, you do NOT know from this test that it is
