When I took a Solar Energy course way back when, my instructor said there was a rule of thumb for solar thermal heating. He said to take the square footage of the heated **area** and divide by 3 to produce a storage **volume** estimate. At the time, fist sized rocks were used to store the

I am surprised this questions did not get more answers. I am not an authority, but have been observing these motors for 20 years. We really can't talk about the Voltage across the motor without talking about RPM and Amperage. If you tried to put 170V across the Motor with less than 500 RPM,
