Electric motor

Ivor Catt, 24mar04

Physical force resulting from overlap between TEM Waves explain the electric motor.

Analysis of the electric motor from the point of view of my approach to electromagnetism, written a year or two ago, was at www.ivorcatt.com/2819.htm Unfortunately, it has disappeared. This is a replacement, written in haste. This is needed because this currently empty website scores high, no. 9 out of 800, on the Google search for “TEM Wave”,

My 1994 book, Electromagnetism 1, is available on my website www.ivorcatt.com at http://www.ivorcatt.com/em.htm .

That book discusses the two-turn inductor, under the title “ The Inductor as a Transmission Line , and from there, hyperlinks take you to Mike Gibson discussing the similarity between two turn inductor and one turn transformer. The missing 2819 pointed out that the one turn transformer was very similar to a one turn motor. This is because TEM waves reflect. The overlap between two TEM waves travelling in opposite directions is the requisite for the appearance of a physical force. So there will be a physical force between the primary and secondary of a one turn transformer, and also between the two coils in a one turn motor, which is the same thing.
