I'm not sure what to do to it in order to make it create energy, i was looking for a schematic or a wiring diagram of the motor for help, i've gotten a few different motors so i can try a few times.

Its a two speed motor so right away it has more than two wires, it may have a run cap, it may or may not have a start winding. Its not as simple as hooking two wires to a light bulb. Do you have the wiring diagram from the machine it came out of? Andy
I used to be copier service tech and I am quite familiar with all of the assorted motors they used in many different brands and models. The vast majority of the main drive AC motors they use are synchronous motors that have slightly magnetized rotors which makes that an apples and oranges comparison by trying to equate a copier motor to a common washing machine motor.
Try spinning a regular single phase AC washing machine motor and I guarantee you wont get the same results. If it was that simple I would know about it and be using it myself.
I'm not sure which wires in the motor i'm using which is similar to a "Norge washing machine motor" i've only got the motor and it's side of the wires, from here i cannot tell which wires are the ones for power.
