[TCML] How To Turn A Vacuum Cleaner Motor Into A Synchronous Motor

[Teslalabor]

Hi deano,

the sound didn't change very much of course it now sounds like 3000 1/min 
instead of 11500 1/min and there is the typical sound like a modified asynch 
motor with flats on its armature when locking in sync.
