Electric motors in the era of Edison, Westinghouse, and Tesla, were considered mysterous; followed by a long era of being a commondity. Now that motors are controlled by software they are the center of intense reseach and great oppurtunity.


There is much confusing and contradicting published material about electric motors. Also, motors bridge the skills of electrical and mechanical engineers as  by the equation p = iv = Γ ω.
