This is an older model machine that delivers approximately 1.  This was the first test of this machine and was not fully balanced.

Procedure

First I have to loosen off the disk brake until it has a small amount of resistance, then give the machine a little push. As it starts to rotate and picks up speed I tighten the brake just enough to control the rotation speed. This is normally handled by a governor on the newer machines. The machine must rotate at a specific speed to keep the generator constant. To stop the machine I just tighten the crank on the disk brake assembly and it works the same way as the disk brakes work on a car. Sorry this video is a bit dark, you can adjust the contrast to bring it up a bit better.
