OT: compact, high HP motor for BA kitchen blender.
(OP)
OK, a bit of an off the wall question here. I am considering throwing a big motor in my blender for the heck of it. I want to find something used and cheap since this may not go all that well..
Target is 2HP min, 25K rpm. I am thinking AC/DC type motors since they usually have no rpm limit to speak of.
Any ideas on what device I should steal one from?

I am just wondering where the universal (ac/dc) motors of this size or common. wood routers usually don't go this big. I was wondering about treadmill motors but not sure of their design. I want to say DYI CNC wood router guys are using them though so that would indicate high rpm..

Right now I am thinking about a circular saw motor. I can find the saws for nothing. Just wondering if they are a universal type motor.

I think I need to school up on universal motors but as I understand it, they can actually spin to the point of self destruct unless limiting is used. Also, I am sure for given designs, there are rpm limits. I am looking at a motor right now that is spinning at 6K unloaded. I am worried if I spin it too much higher, it may not like that.
How are these motors typically governed and is there any way to tell how much rpm they can handle? I am confident the bearings will be fine. I would be most concerned with the windings on the rotor.

As for running one to destruction - try putting one in a vacuum chamber and see what happens with no windage. Put the results on YouTube for us!
