Electromagnets to stir water

This is why you should look up Tesla and induction motors. You don't need the fan or super magnet, which would not last in so much heat anyway.
If a picture is worth 1000 words, how much more is video?

The only moving parts are the switch and the objects rotated.

Ok, so I think I am getting what you are saying finally. I lookup up the Tesla and his egg when you previously mentioned it, but I didn’t get what you were hinting at.
Basically if I have one induction motor the EM field will just spin the object, like a massive stir plate. I need to research this more, but wasn’t this Columbus egg run off a three phase motor?
Other than hand starting it off single phase is there another way of doing this? I don't have three phase as an option.
