  2. Homopolar motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_motor

    A homopolar motor is a direct current electric motor with two magnetic poles, the conductors of which always cut unidirectional lines of magnetic flux by rotating a conductor around a fixed axis so that the conductor is at right angles to a static magnetic field. The resulting force being continuous in one direction, the homopolar motor needs ...

  3. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric ...

  4. Timeline of the electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_electric_motor

    1828, Ányos Jedlik. Hungarian, physicist and unsung father of the dynamo and electric motor; invented the first commutated rotary electromechanical machine with electromagnets. [3][5] He invented the commutator. In 1828 Jedlik demonstrated the first device to contain the three main components of practical DC motors: the stator, rotor and ...

  5. William Sturgeon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Sturgeon

    The magnet was made of 18 turns of bare copper wire (insulated wire had not yet been invented). [1] William Sturgeon (22 May 1783 – 4 December 1850) was an English physicist and inventor who made the first electromagnets, and invented the first practical electric motor.

  6. Brushless DC electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushless_DC_electric_motor

    Brushless DC electric motor. The motor from a 3.5 in floppy disk drive. The coils, arranged radially, are made from copper wire coated with blue insulation. The rotor (upper right) has been removed and turned upside-down. The grey ring inside its cup is a permanent magnet. This particular motor is an outrunner, with the stator inside the rotor.

  7. Induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

    An induction motor or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor that produces torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding. [1] An induction motor therefore needs no electrical connections to the rotor.

  8. Mouse mill motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_mill_motor

    Mouse mill motor. Froment's "mouse mill" motor was an early form of electric motor, also known as the Revolving Armature Engine. [1] It has similarities to both the synchronous motor and the contemporary stepper motor. As the mouse mill motor was simple to construct and its speed could easily be governed, it was later used to drive automatic ...

  9. Stepper motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor

    A stepper motor, also known as step motor or stepping motor, [1] is a Brushless DC electric motor that rotates in a series of small and discrete angular steps. [2] Stepper motors can be set to any given step position without needing a position sensor for feedback. The step position can be rapidly increased or decreased to create continuous ...
