[Diato556] made a really cool single-phase induction motor with parts mounted on Duplo blocks. He has posted an Instructable where he uses these modular parts to demonstrate the motor and the prin… ...
Wound-rotor motors: Squirrel-cage motors are relatively inflexible with regard to speed and torque characteristics, ... Single-phase induction motors are commonly fractional-horsepower types, ...
No extant maker's markings. Early form of a single-phase induction motor constructed by Elihu Thomson in 1887. The motor frame is circular and built from laminated metal sheets. Two oil feed cups are ...
Motor slip is necessary for torque generation. An AC induction motor consists of two basic assemblies: the stator and rotor. The stator structure is composed of steel laminations shaped to form poles.
