what is 3 phase power? How does it work? How does it differ from 1 phase power that most residentials have? Why isn’t 2 phase power as popular?

Think of two kids on a see saw. They’ve got it it hooked up to some gears turning the crank on an ice cream machine. The more they seesaw up and down, the harder it is to crank the Mach. The cream resists being turned
Now add two more see saws with two more kids each. Now it’s much easier and they can make ice cream faster and easier.
3 phase power is a bit like that. The oscillation of amperage through wire is like 3 sets of seesaws cranking on a single shaft or ice-cream machine.
