Summary
editDescriptionHow it all started... the Nikola Tesla patent on the alternating motor - no brushes or rare Earth magnets needed (12800228845).jpg |
Edison couldn't figure it out. One of Tesla's many accomplishments is the AC induction motor, the technology that makes the Tesla car perform as it does, with no friction brushes for contacts and no permanent magnets and no Rare Earth minerals (in contrast, a hybrid car like the Prius uses a kilogram of neodymium and 13kg of lanthanum). Today, 90% of industrial motors are AC induction motors. It has been called <a href="http://www.teslasociety.com/hall_of_fame.htm" rel="nofollow">one of the 10 greatest discoveries of all time</a>. The framed patent page above was a cool gift from a friend. Thanks! “Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.” — Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) |
