    An induction motor or ... the Royal Academy of Science of Turin published Ferraris's research on his AC polyphase motor ... For example; a single-phase motor with 3 ...

  3. Linear induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_induction_motor

    A linear induction motor (LIM) is an alternating current (AC), asynchronous linear motor that works by the same general principles as other induction motors but is typically designed to directly produce motion in a straight line. Characteristically, linear induction motors have a finite primary or secondary length, which generates end-effects ...

  4. Ferraris' motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferraris'_motor

    Fig. 2—Ferraris motor (larger version) In 1885, Professor Ferraris constructed the motor depicted in plan in Fig 1, which was not, however, publicly shown till 1888. It was exhibited in 1893 at the World's Fair at Chicago. It consisted of two pairs of electromagnets A A and B B', having a common yoke made by winding iron wire around the exterior.

  5. 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.

  6. Dual-rotor motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-rotor_motor

    In one arrangement, the motor has an ordinary stator. A squirrel-cage rotor connected to the output shaft rotates within the stator at slightly less than the rotating field from the stator. Within the squirrel-cage rotor is a freely rotating permanent magnet rotor, which is locked in with rotating field from the stator.

  7. Rotating magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_magnetic_field

    The rotating magnetic field is the key principle in the operation of induction machines.The induction motor consists of a stator and rotor.In the stator a group of fixed windings are so arranged that a two phase current, for example, produces a magnetic field which rotates at an angular velocity determined by the frequency of the alternating current.

    Serbian-American, engineer and inventor; having worked independently from Ferraris, presented a paper in May, 1888 to AIEE describing three patented two-phase four-stator-pole motor types: one with a four-pole rotor forming a non-self-starting reluctance motor, another with a wound rotor forming a self-starting induction motor, and the third a ...
