The first alternating current induction motor, perfected by Dr. Tesla prior to the year 1884, in which year he came to America to take up his life work. Although the motor weighed only a little over...
TWO-PHASE alternating-current (AC) induction motor was built by Tesla in 1887. By energizing pairs of induction coils on either side of the stator with two separate out-of-phase alternating currents...
This invention relates to the alternating-current electro-magnetic motors invented by me, in which a progressive shifting or rotation of the poles or points of maximum magnetic effect is produced by the action of the alternating currents. These motors I have constructed in a great variety of ways. As instances, I...
In former patents granted to me - notably, Patents Nos. 381,968 and 382,280, of May 1, 1988 - I have shown and described a system for the electrical transmission of power characterized by the following particulars: The motor contains independent energizing-circuits and the generator has corresponding induced or...
Fifteen or sixteen years ago, when I was pursuing my course at the college, I was told by an eminent physicist that a motor could not be operated without the use of brushes and commutators, or...
Nikola Tesla examining some of his AC induction motors. Some have suggested this may not actually be Tesla because he normally parted his hair in the middle.
