Nikola Corporation (formerly known as Nikola Motor Company) is an American manufacturer of heavy-duty commercial battery-electric vehicles, fuel-cell electric vehicles, and energy solutions. [2] It presented several concept vehicles from 2016 to 2020, the first of which was a natural gas fueled turbine-electric semi truck . [ 3 ]
The motor used polyphase current, which generated a rotating magnetic field to turn the motor (a principle that Tesla claimed to have conceived in 1882). [ 67 ] [ 68 ] [ 69 ] This innovative electric motor, patented in May 1888, was a simple self-starting design that did not need a commutator , thus avoiding sparking and the high maintenance of ...
The Complete Patents of Nikola Tesla by Jim Glenn, 1994. The Complete Patents of Nikola Tesla (ISBN 978-1-566-19266-8) is a book compiled and edited by Jim Glenn detailing the patents of Nikola Tesla.
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 ...
The Tesla Semi is a Class 8 semi-truck by Tesla, Inc. with a tri-motor, rear-wheel drive layout. Tesla claims that the Semi has approximately three times the power of a typical diesel semi truck, and a range of 500 miles (800 km). [103] Two prototype trucks were first shown in November 2017 and initial deliveries were made to PepsiCo on ...
Tesla most commonly refers to: Nikola Tesla (1856–1943), a Serbian-American electrical engineer and inventor; Tesla, Inc., an American electric vehicle and clean energy company, formerly Tesla Motors, Inc. Tesla (unit) (symbol: T), the SI-derived unit of magnetic flux density; Tesla may also refer to:
A model of Nikola Tesla's first induction motor at the Tesla Museum in Belgrade, Serbia Squirrel-cage rotor construction, showing only the center three laminations. In 1824, the French physicist François Arago formulated the existence of rotating magnetic fields, termed Arago's rotations.
The Tesla turbine is a bladeless centripetal flow turbine invented by Nikola Tesla in 1913. [1] It functions as nozzles apply a moving fluid to the edges of a set of discs. The engine uses smooth discs rotating in a chamber to generate rotational movement due to the momentum exchange between the fluid and the discs.
