Nikola Tesla

The design, an induction motor, was independently invented by Galileo Ferraris and Nikola Tesla (with Tesla's design being licensed by Westinghouse in the US).

Thomas Edison

Thomas Edison conceived the induction motor while walking through a park, reciting Goethe’s Faust, and then worked tirelessly to offer electric power to the world, to introduce automatons that would reduce life’s drudgery, and to develop machines that might one day abolish war.

Galileo Ferraris

1847 - Galileo Ferraris was an Italian physicist who invented AC power and the induction motor.

Galileo Ferraris and Nikola Tesla

The design, an induction motor, was independently invented by Galileo Ferraris and Nikola Tesla (with Tesla's design being licensed by Westinghouse in the US).

Nikola Tesla and Michail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky

Nikola Tesla and Michail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky invented the first practical induction motors using a rotating magnetic field - previously all commercial motors were DC, with expensive commutators, high-maintenance brushes, and characteristics unsuitable for operation on an alternating current network.

by either Nikola Tesla

The AC induction motor was invented by either Nikola Tesla or Galileo Ferraris, depending on who you ask.

to both Nikola Tesla and Italian physicist Galileo Ferraris

The credit for inventing the first ever induction motor goes to both Nikola Tesla and Italian physicist Galileo Ferraris.
