The Power of Induction
The " History " column explores the development
of the induction motor. It is
a story intertwined with the rise of the
ac system. The invention of the induction
motor is controversial. Those

Ferraris, an Italian, also described
the production of a rotating magnetic
field with characteristics very similar
to those of Tesla's motor. Two other
Europeans-Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky
and Charles Eugene Lancelot
Brown-have claims to similar concepts.
No matter the source of the
brilliant ideas, without the induction
motor, ac systems would not have
flourished to power the world.
