Here's a challenge: who can top this exhibit
next year? LOL, the catch is
that we can't run any three-phase power systems because it is too darn
expensive.
Some folks run 3 phase machine tools from single-phase lines using a phase
converter--basically a big 3 phase motor and a large capacitor. I don't
know how well that would work with power supplies, but it's a thought.
I have one. It's actually a motor-generator pair. *Extremely*
inefficient, but I think I might be able to pull it off.
