A three phase motor looks like any other motor from the outside. It might be a little larger than a standard motor but it looks the same. If it is not hardwired but has a plug, the plug will have four prongs instead of three. The socket will look different from a standard socket or the socket for a stove or air conditioner. It will also have four holes. The hole for the ground plug will have a special indent. That makes it so you can not put the plug in wrong. A two phase motor will run the correct way regardless of how you put the plug in the socket. If you would put the plug for three phase motor in the socket the wrong way, the motor would run backwards.
Two-phase power is not generally available anywhere and three-phase is largely used for commercial and industrial applications.Residential power in the United States is single-phase, limited mostly to 240V at the service entrance panel as two legs of 120V each plus a common neutral.If that is what you're making reference to, please see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
This is normal practice - but the loading of each phase should be roughly equal. In the UK, electricity is distributed as 3-phase but domestic premises only ever have single phase supply - in any street, the houses will be connected in roughly equal numbers across each phase.
the phase would be solid.
S phase or Synthesis.

The cost of this installation will vary greatly around the world. Get an estimate from your local contractor in your area. You will need to have the voltage and amperage of the service that you want to have installed.
yes . A change of motor would be required. The motor windings would have to be totally different. three hot leads instead of two. And three phase would have to come from your provider.
Without a proper converter, no you can not. The consequences would be damage to the equipment, wireing, fire, and possible injury or death. Don't do it. Have a single phase outlet installed.
commercial building
Three phase power is widely available in commercial/industrial establishments in America. 3-phase not typically available in homes.
Very unlikely. Its 3 phase for a reason, it needs a large voltage/current to power it, single phase won't provide that.
When dealing with a 3 phase power supply the safe clearance zone between each phase is usually within an arms reach, there are exceptions to this rule like a 3 phase socket or a distribution board.
If this is in your residence it is extremely unlikely you have 3-phase power. You need an electrician to make sure you don't burn down your house.
rectifiers are used to recrify ac to dc, I'm ot sure that you would use dc for any large voltage, though 3 phase electrics are used in commercial equipment.
All non-commercial dryers that I am aware of (in the US) require 240V single-phase power. Some large commercial dryers require 3-phase power.
