[Diato556] made a really cool single-phase induction motor with parts mounted on Duplo blocks. He has posted an Instructable where he uses these modular parts to demonstrate the motor and the p ...

A motor control IC is a convenient way to implement custom motor drive algorithms such as the single-phase induction motor (SPIM) control. A generalized control algorithm, implemented and tested ...

for at present the single-phase system alone seems to fulfil the requirements of main line electric traction. Also the polyphase induction motor is no longer to retain the great disadvantage in ...
