2. AC motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

   An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). The AC motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field , and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field.

3. 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.

4. Linear induction motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_induction_motor

   The history of linear electric motors can be traced back at least as far as the 1840s to the work of Charles Wheatstone at King's College in London, [3] but Wheatstone's model was too inefficient to be practical. A feasible linear induction motor is described in US patent 782312 (1905; inventor Alfred Zehden of Frankfurt-am-Main), and is for ...

5. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

   The motor accelerates from slip speed to synchronous speed during an accelerating half cycle of the reluctance torque. [3] Single-phase synchronous motors such as in electric wall clocks can freely rotate in either direction, unlike a shaded-pole type. Costs are an important parameter for starters. [38]

6. Universal motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_motor

   The universal motor is a type of electric motor that can operate on either AC or DC power and uses an electromagnet as its stator to create its magnetic field. [1] It is a commutated series-wound motor where the stator's field coils are connected in series with the rotor windings through a commutator. It is often referred to as an AC series motor.

7. Electric motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

   An industrial 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.
