Here is one URL. I found this article to be quite informative, but have 
not studied it in detail.

<http://www.metalwebnews.com/howto/phase-converter/phase-
converter.html>

This article is about 10 pages long and includes diagrams.

There are many military rigs that run on 3 phase power, mostly Navy 
rigs. The AN/WRT-1 and 2 are good examples.

This is why I was very interested in trying to discover some method of 
powering them from normal single-phase house current.

Although I am not completely sure, I think the above method would 
work.

Now if it would produce 400 Hz power as easily...
