The Induction Motor
Induction Motor applies alternating current and basically made up of two parts(8), a stator and a rotor. A stator remains stationary, while it rotates the rotor with the help of electromagnets. Induction motors are not just long-lasting, but also easy to maintain and inexpensive to run.
In 1880s, Galileo Ferrari and Tesla were working on the same project of induction motor, but separately. None of them knew about each other’s findings and both of them submitted it in the year of 1888, though Ferrari submitted his research two months before Tesla’s submission.
Tesla’s Induction motor produced rotating magnetic field, which made the transmission of Alternating Current an economic need. Invention of induction motor was so …show more content…

It was one of the big inventions, as it influenced the development of television remotes and other remotes. Also, the boat could be classified as robot, as this mechanical object was operated without any physical human touch. Thus, Tesla’s boat was referred as Great Grandfather of Drones, as it was a combination of Robotics and Radio Technology.

Tesla Turbine
It was in 1913 when Tesla patented about Tesla Turbine. It is a bladeless centripetal flow turbine that applied small discs, which rotated in a closed pact chamber and worked if the fuel was burned before entering the chamber.
The disk could rotate(11) only after combustion process, which further ran the engine. Tesla turbine engine produced 60 percent fuel efficiency, which is considered as majestic as compared to current efficiency of engines, which is about 42 percent.
But in early 20th century, there was a rise in usage of piston engines, so this trend carried on because people saw more profit in piston engines as there was huge profit in fuel sales and this is why it is still in use today.
