95 ton, 76 000hp electric motor. i feel like that may be important context.

[โ€“] jonne@infosec.pub 36 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm planning on installing one on my bike.

[โ€“] B0rax@feddit.org 12 points 2 months ago

I thought about using it in a hairdryer

[โ€“] lgsp@feddit.it 4 points 2 months ago

No, it's the other way around: you actually install your bike on that motor

Big motor means big conductor means exponentially less resistive losses. More volume to disappate heat. Big motor has more core laminations which means less reactive losses.

Big motor is very expensive.

I see many people here interested in what it is actually used for

Motorn driver en luftseparationsenhet (ASU) som kondenserar atmosfรคrisk luft sรฅ att syre och kvรคve separeras till rena gaser som kan anvรคndas i stรฅltillverkningsprocessen.

Which DeepL loosely translates to

The engine drives an air separation unit (ASU) that condenses atmospheric air to separate oxygen and nitrogen into clean gases that can be used in the steelmaking process.

The motor is going to a steelwork in India.

Jokes aside. What do they use it for?

[โ€“] lambipapp@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

From the article: The customer is a factory in India.

It is apparently saving the energy equivalent to 10 000 cars for a year.

I guess ships? Or to spin a dynamo to create electricity /s

[โ€“] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

The article says its for an "air-separation-unit", "luftseparationsenhet". For a steel factory in india

Maybe a diesel electric ship? Idk
