Who made the world's first ac motor?
In 1867, the Belgian character ram was made into an improved alternator. Scientists in 1886, the Croatian American origin tesla made two phase winding type ac asynchronous motor model, and in 1888 and developed the principle of the tesla coil, and in 1891 made the tesla coil's patent, which laid a foundation for alternating current (ac) of the remote transmission. It can be said that Edison and tesla, the former is not the inventor of the direct current (dc), the latter is not the inventor of the alternating current (ac), the later this misconception is that from the current war at the end of the 19th century, because two people a stick to dc, another promote communication, and let people think they are dc and ac inventor (baidu encyclopedia "tesla" entry is written).
It also said that the direct current was "discovered" by Edison. In fact is the discoverer of the dc volts, he invented the world's first device that can produce continuous dc - voltaic pile, dc motor is developed by Germany's Siemens, the earliest. The same is true of alternating current, which was invented long before tesla. Invented the alternator is a French engineer A.H. pique west (baidu "A.M. pique west"), he was in Paris in 1832 for a permanent magnet type rotary alternator. A year later, he installed commutator on the generator, turning alternating current into direct current.
Notice, one is ac motor, one is ac generator, not one thing.I hope my answer will help you
Correct to say that they are both a master of power system, invented the dc transmission and alternating current (ac) transmission system, respectively, to promote the wide application of these two kinds of power system, due to the belong to different companies and the fierce competition. A competition eventually after a series of alternating current (ac) is found that the benefits of ac over dc, tesla also be regarded as the inventor of the alternating current (ac) in the history. Alternating current (ac) is not a tesla's invention is, actually, but tesla also have their own original invention, and many of them are super era, so this condition on tesla historical position as a great scientist.
