the quick answer is you cant. squirrel cage induction motors need AC power to generate the magnetic field in the rotor...if however you have a motor that has brushes in it (drills, mixers,etc) then this motor can be run off ac or dc..the commutator brushes do the work of moving the current to the proper coils at the proper time.

What component of a motor changes induced AC voltage into a pulsating DC?

its commutator..which converts ac produced by and motor to pulsating dc ... more the commutator divide more accurate dc..means less pulse in dc
