French, engineer and instrument maker; first of various motors; first motor translated linear "electromagnetic piston's" energy to wheel's rotary motion. See also Mouse mill motor. [6] [18] [20] [21] 1856, Werner Siemens: German, industrialist; invented generator with a double-T armature and slots windings. [3] [6] 1861–1864, James Clerk Maxwell
Tesla was incorporated (as Tesla Motors) on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in San Carlos, California. [2] [3] [4] The founders were influenced to start the company after General Motors recalled all its EV1 electric cars in 2003 and then destroyed them, [5] and seeing the higher fuel efficiency of battery-electric cars as an opportunity to break the usual correlation ...
Tesla, Inc. (/ ˈ t ɛ s l ə / ⓘ TESS-lə or / ˈ t ɛ z l ə / TEZ-lə [a]) is an American multinational automotive and clean energy company. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, it designs, manufactures and sells battery electric vehicles (BEVs), stationary battery energy storage devices from home to grid-scale, solar panels and solar shingles, and related products and services.
Tesla's AC dynamo-electric machine (AC electric generator) in an 1888 U.S. patent 390,721. In July 1888, Brown and Peck negotiated a licensing deal with George Westinghouse for Tesla's polyphase induction motor and transformer designs for $60,000 in cash and stock and a royalty of $2.50 per AC horsepower produced by each motor.
[7] [8] [9] The invention of the first model electric vehicle is attributed to various people. [10] In 1828, the Hungarian priest and physicist Ányos Jedlik invented an early type of electric motor, and created a small model car powered by his new motor. Between 1832 and 1839, Scottish inventor Robert Anderson also invented a crude electric ...
U.S. patent 416,194 - Electric Motor - 1889 December 3 - Drawings include the motor seen in many of Tesla's photos; Classic alternating current electro-magnetic motor; Induction motor operation; Field and armature of equal strengths or magnetic quality; field and armature cores of equal amounts; Coils containing equal amount of copper.
The electric motor brings on the first juke box with cylinders – even before flat disk records were widely available. Thomas Edison discovers thermionic emission. This effect forms the basis for the vacuum tube and the cathode ray tube. approximately 1893: The selenium phototube invention allows the conversion of brightness values into electrical
The first commutator-free single-phase AC induction motor was invented by Hungarian engineer Ottó Bláthy; he used the single-phase motor to propel his invention, the electricity meter. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] The first AC commutator-free polyphase induction motors were independently invented by Galileo Ferraris and Nikola Tesla , a working motor model ...
