[Milsurplus] multi phase AC power

All this discussion of single phase, 3 phase, Y, delta, etc., put me in mind of a piece of information I found on one of the constant voltage transformer manufacturer's web site.  The statement was that the output of a CVT is shifted around 120° with respect to the input.  This caught my attention, as it seems I often would like to generate some 3 phase power from a single phase source.  So, now if I can find some device which will produce a few hundred watts at -120°, I'll have something.  I thought of using the input phase and this +120° as two legs of an open Y, but I suspect that would be pretty inefficient.  I suppose I could connect a second CVT to the output of the first and generate 240°, and I may try that sometime when I have my collection of Solas out at one time.  Any power experts out there who have gone through all this?
