I would read it, but i have no clue how to make a converter so i would not know if he was wrong or not.

That's a lot of errors.

Actualy what he says is true.You can drive a 3ph mtr with a single phase mtr and it will generate 3ph. You can run a 3 ph mtr on single phase by powering it on two legs and turning the mtr by hand to start it if you read voltage on the third leg and the other two you will see you have 3 ph. It dose work I have done it .Problem!!! It is not cheap power. Any 3 ph mtr with brushes is just a 3ph generator when driven be it by single phase or a gas engine.

Agreed, you can do such. However, the comical part is how he describes electricity. This entire paragraph is a hoot!

Single Phase Electricity is the type of electricity that runs to all homes. It is commonly known as 220. It is called 220 because there are two power wires coming from the pole into your home that each carry 110 volts (110+110=220). Each of these 110 wires are in opposite Phases. Phases may sound a little difficult to understand at first but it is actually a pretty simple. The "AC" in 220vAC stands for "ALTERNATING CURRENT" and it does just that, Alternates. It Alternates from + to - at a rate of 60 times per second known as 60hertz. This Principle can be understood easiest by thinking of it like a 2 cyclinder gasoline engine. When one piston is at the bottom(-) the other piston is at the top(+). It stays in balance this way. 3Phase Electricity is like a 3 cyclinder motor; when one piston is at the top and the 2nd is at the bottom the third is in the middle.
