That's the end of S04E08 of "Ikke gjør dette hjemme" - an NRK series of doing stupid stuff with a condemned house, ending each season with burning it down.
Try https://tv.nrk.no/serie/ikke-gjoer-dette-hjemme/sesong/4/episode/8/avspiller - you may need a VPN endpoint in Norway, I'm not sure. This is from 22:36 or so - the full footage is neat, with weird flame waves inside the foam. I think the first season has English subs, but this one doesn't.

(Hydrogen peroxide, some foaming soap, and a hefty dash of heptane, IIRC - and some sort of catalyst to make the H2O2 break down dumped in when he pulls the rope.)

My favorite still is when they put the giant cans on the stove and the shorter guy made sounds that transcended the language barrier when they blew.

You can cheat the systems to get two hundred and forty volts out of two outlets the U.S. where split‐phase service is common, but 1) that’s not a U.S. outlet so there’s nothing to be gained there, 2) they’d almost always have to be outlets on different walls, and 3) you’ll never get three phases out of it.

Not necessarily bad, but dumb. If those aren't special outlets in a workshop they share the same breaker. So it won't double the amps/voltage/phases. To make this work you'd need one outlet to have 2 phases and one outlet on the third phase. This would be highly unusual.

So no, you won't get 3 phases out of your standard outlet at home. Without any specifics about the 3-phase motor I'm not sure if it will burn some coils in the motor or flip your breaker or just not work at all.

Also, isn't there more than one way to do 3-phase in the US? As I understand it, normal residential power is 208V phase-to-phase with a neutral, while industrial 3-phase is 480V phase-to-phase, no neutral. If his hoist is expecting 480/480/480 between the wires, it doesn't really matter if he's feeding it L1, L1, N (so 0/120/120 V between the wires), L1, L2, N (208/110/110) or even L1,L2,L3 (208/208/208) - though the last one sounds the least bad.

I'm pretty sure a bearing pack is made up of races and bearings. The races being the little rings, the bearings being the balls/pins/ cones/etc. Between races.

In my industry where we mention these things multiple times an hour all day every day we call these assemblies "sealed bearings" and the individual steel balls are just called out by their diameter and the word bearing.

It’s a form of metonymy.

It happens with a lot of things. Almost everyone does it using “rim” to refer to the main metal part of a pneumatic wheel. The tire is set on the rim of the metallic wheel thingy and eventually everyone calls the metallic wheel thingy “the rim”. Putting the lug nuts on the rim is technically nonsense, but it’s short and everyone knows what you mean.

Electrochemical cells becoming “batteries” is a more pathological example. Lots of people call single cells “batteries”. Having done that, they don’t know what to do when multiples are wired together, so a collection of cells becomes not just a battery, but a battery pack.

One example that no living person is likely to care about is that railway “trestles” used to refer to just one structure running perpendicular to the rails and carrying the load to the ground, but then the entire bridge become a “trestle”. Now a new word was needed for the individual elements, so they became “bents”.

Actually, I take that back. I’m sure some living people do care about that one because we’re dealing with railfans here.

Bearings let you transfer pressure without restricting movement. A plain bearing is just a steel shaft spinning against a flat, hopefully lubed, surface. A roller bearing holds rollers (cylinders) between an outer and inner ring that connects the shaft and the load. A ball bearing uses steel balls instead of the rollers.

Sometimes people refer to those steel balls as "ball bearings". They are wrong in an engineering sense - but not in a linguistic sense, because linguistics is a descriptive field. Sadly.

A three-phase hoist is going to want its three phases sixty degrees apart, which there's no way to get from residential two-phase by passive means.

That’s a bearing. It’s a plain bearing.

If a thing is rotating, it’s not falling to Earth, and it’s not freely floating, it has a bearing of some sort.

I called it a bearing sleeve because it's just a wear interface to stop A286 from eating into Ti. The positional interfaces are elsewhere where they use graphite thrust washers as bearing surfaces.
