core, which, like all others used similar
manner, should split divided into al

a direction opposite that which the arma

normal speed attained the poles the

I have found that advantageous results are
secured winding the field-magnets with 55
coil coils and passing continuous current
through them, thus maintaining permanent
field, and this feature present invention
consists.

To all whom may concern:
Be known that Nikola Tesla, from

netic Motors,of which the following speci

a novel form electro-magnetic motor and a
mode operating the same, which may be
generally described follows: The motor is
15 wound with coils forming independent ener
gizing-circuits either the armature field
magnet, both, (itjs sufficient for present pur
poses consider the case which the coils
are the armature alone,) and these coils are
20 connected with corresponding circuits on
an alternating-current generator. 381,369, dated May 1888.' starting

are subjected rapid reversals magnetic
polarity; but the speed increases these re
versals become less and less frequent, and
finally ceasewhen the movement the arma-

erator. This movement
of the poles the armature obviously tends
to rotate the armature the opposite direc
tion that which the movement the poles

speed rotation increases from the start un

both motor and generator alike.
