Part of storyNikola TeslaView in story ›

Time: 1893

Place: U.S.

Details: By the beginning of 1893, Westinghouse engineer Charles F. Scott and then Benjamin G. Lamme had made progress on an efficient version of Tesla's induction motor. Lamme found a way to make the polyphase system it would need compatible with older single phase AC and DC systems by developing a rotary converter.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
