  2. William Sturgeon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Sturgeon

    William Sturgeon (/ ˈ s t ɜːr dʒ ə n /; 22 May 1783 – 4 December 1850) was an English electrical engineer and inventor who made the first electromagnet and the first practical electric motor. Early life

  3. Homopolar motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_motor

    Electromagnetic rotation experiment of Faraday, ca. 1821 [2] Working principle of a homopolar motor: due to movement of negative charges from center towards rim of the disk, a Lorentz force F L is created which brings the entire disk into rotation. The homopolar motor was the first electrical motor to be built.

    Constructed a two-phase motor where the rotor is set in rotation by the combined rotating field produced with two sets of coils. [24] 1887, Helios Co. Based on Coerper's patent, Helios Co. constructed the first 3-phase motor with three slip-rings. The project was dropped in 1890 as they could get satisfactory results using a 2-phase current. [25]

  5. DC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

    A DC motor is an electrical motor that uses direct current (DC) to produce mechanical force. The most common types rely on magnetic forces produced by currents in the coils. Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction of current in part of the motor.

  6. Electrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrification

    The first commutator DC electric motor capable of turning machinery was invented by the British scientist William Sturgeon in 1832. [75] The crucial advance that this represented over the motor demonstrated by Michael Faraday was the incorporation of a commutator. This allowed Sturgeon's motor to be the first capable of providing continuous ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    The first commutator DC electric motor capable of turning machinery was invented by English scientist William Sturgeon in 1832. [23] Following Sturgeon's work, a commutator-type direct-current electric motor was built by American inventors Thomas Davenport and Emily Davenport, [24] which he patented in 1837.

  8. Brushed DC electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushed_DC_electric_motor

    A brushed DC electric motor is an internally commutated electric motor designed to be run from a direct current power source and utilizing an electric brush for contact. Brushed motors were the first commercially important application of electric power to driving mechanical energy, and DC distribution systems were used for more than 100 years ...

  9. Traction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_motor

    In the USSR, per GOST 2582-72 with class N insulation, the maximum temperatures allowed for DC motors were 160 °C for the armature, 180 °C for the stator, and 105 °C for the collector. [13] The one-hour rating is typically about 10% higher than the continuous rating and is limited by the temperature rise in the motor.
