This is the kind of comment I'm here for.

Who would down vote this?!? You, sir, are able to see the wold with a clarity most can only dream of. 😉

If you didn't run the lights, it's only 33kW motor, less in newer Starships

Assuming you had 208V 3ph, that's under 100A. Much less if you are in commercial area with 240V 3ph

If you don't plan to spin 48 people, you could replace motor with a 120V single phase motor 5hp and remove a lot of weight from the ride (cut holes in every other fiberglass panel)

A decently small generator (relative to a full trailer carnival ride)... could power this. There are many tow behind 50kVA diesel generators. (Another $8k)

BTW the reason these UFO/gravs are for sale is because they are all rotting, the fiberglass panels that hold it together are like paper now and too expensive to repair.

Shut up, nerd! Let me have my gravitron

Nothing that a couple of cat batteries hooked up in parallel can't fix.

I mean a residential area home isn't gonna have room anywhere for the thing in the first place.

which is why I had mine installed out back behind the stables, that we me and the livestock can all enjoy it.

Power company asked if I wanted a three phase meter when I was checking power requirements for wiring my shop up.

I just needed a different meter.

You'd also need a buddy to be the operator for it to work

Good thing my house backs up to a funfair! Place in garden, unplug the nearest fair ride... et voilà! New income stream for me!

Ooooh. I could hook this up outside my uncle’s store.

I hear him talking about his setup all the time when something goes wrong and I regularly hear “it’s 3 phase”.

They did? The dude in the middle just sat there smoking meth every time I was on one of these. I stood up on the wall once, with my whole body perpendicular to the floor. It was awesome!

Haha I did that too if it’s the same machine. It had an open top and you just stick to the side as it spins and hinges 90 degrees. There was a chain but you had clearance to flip yourself.

The more I think about it, the more I figure...if you had one at your house, you could become the fucking Rodney Mullen of that thing. Like, forget just being able to stand up and walk around. A few hundred hours of practice, and you could jump rope, juggle, have a whole tea party without spilling anything, sleep in it to see if it gives you superpowers and/or immortality. The possibilities are endless.

If the meth head Carnies can figure it out, it can't be that hard to work on.

Doesn't the same go for cars tho
