How do you get a right phase-angle and exactly 50/60Hz of frequency?

slip and speed are managed by an oboard controller to maximize output and load, all at 50/60 Hz output, which is controlled by the grid

But, does that actually work? i mean, If I turn my blender’s motor with a hand crank while it is plugged in will I be generating electricity? Or is this some idea to make that work.

Yep that’s correct – Tesla first discovered this. In the case of your blender you’d need to turn it at more than 3600 rpm, but here the motor is a slightly different configuration that runs at much lower RPM – but exact same concept.

And if i didnt understand what you were saying. and instead you were talking about moving the motor yourself who would want to stand there making a motor turn?
