It is hard to imagine the functioning of current vehicles without an electric motor. Cars, planes, ships, all this needs a suitable drive. The electric motor itself is a device, which changes the electricity supplied to it into mechanical energy.
Before the engines appeared, as we know it now had to go a long way. People have always wanted to have faster transport than available, a machine that would facilitate work in many fields. Accordingly, from the time of the steam engine, work began on this as well.
Although many have experimented, Nicola Tesla is considered to be the trinity of the electric motor, Yugoslav scientist, creator of a huge number of inventions. Some of them, improved with modern technology, it serves people to this day. Tesla was fascinated by electricity and the possibility of using it both in the work of factories, and in devices. After leaving Europe, he collaborated with Edison for a while. However, the cooperation was not entirely successful, especially after Edison rejected the proposal to run the company with alternating current. It was only after a year that Tesla managed to bounce off the bottom, get help in starting a business and laying the foundations for creating devices operating on alternating current, which are fluorescent lamps and an electric motor It was created according to Tesla's designs in the early 1890s. It has undergone many improvements since then, however, the work of Tesla and its construction by him initiated a new quality of powering various devices and vehicles.
