Synchronous Motors

A synchronous motor is a type of AC motor invented by Nikola Tesla. On May 1, 1988 Tesla submitted seven patent applications. In error in the video I state that his patent was granted on May 1, 1988, but it was only submitted on this date. I also show the wrong patent because I did not realize he had submitted more than one patent on this date. The patent I should have shown was patent #381,968. In this video a two-phase synchronous motor is built and demonstrated. The operation is also explained. Here is an article on Tesla and the invention of the synchronous motor, www.bibnum.education.fr/sites/default/files/tesla-…
