I think this little motor is ready for a rewinding.

(This kills the stator. And that's a hi-pot test, so that can also carry a lethal amount of current into the tens of kilovolts range.)

I think that what they did was tie all the stator leads together (six sets of wires) and applied a high DC voltage between that and the chassis of the motor.

Generally with a successful hi-pot, you get extremely low (like microamps) of current leakage. If there's a problem you'll get much more. The problem with hi-pot (high potential) testing is that if there's a problem the hi-pot test can push the device over-the-edge to complete failure. I think the insulation was so forgone that it failed pretty spectacularly. At places like factories and plants and mills some of these motors have extremely hard lives.

Here's a 15kV spice that was made completely wrong. It failed so badly that it tripped off the hi-pot tester. Remember this isn't like 120V or 240V. This is 15,000 volts so there are things you need to do that are special for that kind of connection that many people aren't educated on.

I love the conversation:
"It [the bad connection being tested] tripped the thermal overload."
"How often does that happen?"
"Never."

Using physical force against 3rd parties is a huge liability, and the US is the kind of place where the alleged kidnapper could sue and win.

Is there actually a chance the alleged kidnapper could sue and win, though? Or did someone think there might be a chance and nobody wants to uncover their rear end long enough to say there isn't?

I'm pretty sure it loses its "I'm gonna murder you and it's gonna hurt a lot" feature if you light it on fire. Assuming you don't light yourself on fire in the process.

I don't work with this material in particular. Just its buddy that also wants to murder you in horrific ways.

I want to branch out and I'm going to stick with it.

That's not as bad as it looks at a first glance. Look at the background by the fireplace. It looks like deck slats. I'm pretty sure they're on an outdoor deck that has a nice brick structure attached to it. That style of rug also appears to be an outdoor rug.

And a fire like that is using propane or natural gas, so it's pretty safe to use on a deck since it's going to burn cleanly and not throw out sparks and ash.

Those almost universally get dismissed. If the lawsuit isn't immediately tossed that's a good indication there's something else going on, like the homeowner was setting up mantraps or shot the burglar in the back.

Jesus gently caress that's nasty but no. I reckon their methods of toxicity (not explodey) are similar though.
