Taking a Look at the Induction Motor

The invention of the first model electric vehicle was given to different people. In 1828, Ányos Jedlik, a Hungarian who invented a type of electric motor, created a small model car powered by his new motor. In 1834, Vermont blacksmith Thomas Davenport built a something as similar as tg electric motor which worked only on a short, circular, special electrified track. In 1834 a man named Professor Sibrandus Stratingh of Groningen, who lived in Netherlands and his assistant Christopher Becker created a small electrical car, powered by non-rechargeable primary cells. An electric vehicle held the land speed record until around 1900. The expensive price, low top speed,

A.K. Brown, from the Western Union, decided to invest in Tesla's AC theories. In a modest laboratory not too far from Edison's offices, Tesla crafted the motors just as he imagined them. He had finally been able to create the machine he had dreamed of for so long, but how would it fare against Edison's generators? In late 1887, Tesla applied for seven patents affiliated with polyphase AC motors and power transmission. His ideas were accepted and those inventions proved to be some of the most valuable ever created. Soon after, a man by the name of George Westinghouse caught wind of Tesla's incredible ideas. After meeting with Tesla, he purchased the patents for $60,000 dollars, plus he agreed to pay $2.50 per horsepower of electrical capacity sold. The advancements from Tesla's patents caused an industrial war to erupt. The future of electricity in the U.S. was at stake, as well as whether Edison's DC or Westinghouse's AC would prevail as the central form of energy. It was around this time that Edison began his rampage against alternating current. He told anyone who

People such as Benjamin Franklin, Eli Whitney, and Samuel F.B. Morse have made life changing moments in history. Franklin introduce the idea of electricity, with his more commonly known experiment the key and kite. Though Franklin only established a connection with lightning and electricity, it lead to greater discoveries. Such as the controversy, Tesla versus Edison, and alternating currents(AC) versus direct currents(DC). With all invention there is the common theme of aiding civilization; to make diffucult tasks simpler, but we can't always predict the outcomes.

In 1898, Tesla made the first remote controlled vehicle: a boat. This invention created the birth of RC vehicles. Some people suggested it for wartime use, but Tesla wanted a peaceful use.

As he grew older, Henry Ford became a chief engineer at Edison’s and there Henry was able to work on a Petrol drive Quadricycle. With some work Henry was able to modify the Quadricycle and he created the base for a small car, soon to be the inspiration for the Model T which was introduced

Around the same time another inventor, George Westinghouse was trying to introduce his alternating current system to the world. Soon after, Tesla was contacted by Westinghouse to purchase all of his patents. Tesla then began working alongside by Westinghouse. However, they ultimately came out victorious with their AC system, Edison was able to bring his system to the market and made his inventions accessible to the world, which Tesla didn’t really do that.

Thomas Davenport invented the electric motor.He made the first electric trolley car most of the people treated those devices as mere curiosities.

He started his research by experimenting with high frequency alternating currents. From there he created a device capable of

“Electricity was one of the forms of energy given by nature.” “Benjamin Franklin was the one who found out that thought that electricity could use electricity to light up his house without trying to light a fire.” “so, he conducted an experiment on electricity with a key and a kite.” “Electricity was not important until Michael Faraday came into play and created an electric dynamo” (a crude power generator). “There was a man named Joseph Swan who invented the filament light bulb in (1878).” “Swan and Edison set up a joint company to introduce the first filament light bulb” (“Who Discovered Electricity,”2014).

Westinghouse was Edison’s direct competitor at the time and Tesla proved to be quite the addition to his team. “ Together, Tesla and Westinghouse lit the 1891 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago and partnered with General Electric to install AC generators at Niagara Falls, creating the first modern power station,” (History.com Staff 3). And thus the alternating current/ direct current war had begun. Edison would do public stunts to scare the public into wanting his direct current like “Edison sometimes electrocuted animals at demonstrations,” (West 3). During such demonstrations he would use alternating current to show that it can be deadly, and “In 1889 Edison arranged for a convicted New York murderer to be put to death in an AC-powered electric chair,” (History.com Staff 3), giving birth to one of the most infamous utilities of America’s judicial system the electric chair.

The induction motor is a common invention used everywhere you look. Induction motor is the powerhouse behind the progression in industry because its economical cost, construction and maintenance are simple. After making what is equivalent to millions of dollars in today’s money, Tesla constantly worked in his lab, creating patents, evolving his methods, and researching/investing in new concepts. He created over 300 patents. Many inventors had recreated his inventions in their own way, and were disappointed to find that Tesla had already developed their ideas. “What the result of these investigations will be the future will tell; but whatever they may be, and to whatever this principle may lead, I shall be sufficiently recompensed if later it will be admitted that I have contributed a share, however small, to the advancement of science.” - Nikola Tesla (The Tesla Alternate Current Motor 1888) Tesla didn’t have a clear idea as to how his work would impact the world but he knew he’d be happy in whatever way he

Tesla was also sincerely involved in studying electrical currents. Thomas Edison had invented direct current (DC). Direct current is an electrical flow with only one direction, and everything is connected. Anything that uses a battery like flashlights and remote controls for televisions is considered direct

motors and engines were not in existence back then. The first resemblance of a motor can be seen in

Almost every person knows Benjamin Franklin. At the same time, people know him differently. Some people know Benjamin Franklin as a founding father or as a scientist or even as an economist. He had achieved various achievements in different fields, and his achievements are still influencing our lives. While he has achieved numerous achievements in various fields, this paper will focus on his achievements as a scientist and an inventor. As the scientist, he has established various scientific terms, especially terms that are used in electric physics. Ordinary people, even not professionals, use terms that Benjamin Franklin has established. In addition to that, as the inventor, he made various gadgets based on his knowledge. Even though we do not recognize it, his inventions and terms are closely related to our routine. For instance, we still widely use the various electrical terms that he had established, including commonly used terms “batteries”, “plus” and “minus”. [1] In additions to that, we can observe the lightning rod on the buildings, which is also invented by Benjamin Franklin.[2] While numerous people are using his inventions and terms that he had established, relatively few people know that those ideas and terms were established by Benjamin Franklin. Although there are various fields and things were developed by Benjamin Franklin, this paper will mainly focus on his contribution to physics, especially in electrical physics.

invented a lot of useful devices. Tesla later in a press announced an engine of
