The Offspring are one of the most successful Punk bands of the mid-to-late 90s, selling 32 million records world wide. The band broke through with their third album Smash, which was a huge hit and reached the top 10 on the American billboard chart, which was unheard of for an independent label.
Motors. A split-phase motor is a type of single-phase electric motor. A split-phase motor runs on a single phase and has no special relationship to a split-phase (3-wire) distribution system.
A motor which can be operated either on DC (direct current) or on single phase AC (alternating current) is called a universal motor. On both AC and DC, it gives approximately the same speed and output. Universal motors often run at dangerously high speed when operated at no load. This means that motor speed will be low at full load, but the speed of the motor will start increasing as the load on the motor decreases.
