well it is said that Joseph Henry built it.
In correcttion it was Michael Faraday.
The Danish scientist you are referring to is Hans Christian Oersted. He discovered that an electric current creates a magnetic field, which laid the foundation for the development of generators and electric motors.
The first electric fan was invented in the late 19th century and typically had a metal or wooden frame with blades made of metal. It was usually stationary and powered by an electric motor.
An electric motor is an apparatus that converts electric energy into kinetic energy by using magnetic fields induced by electric current to generate rotational motion.
By 1888 Nikola Tesla built and patented his alternating current motor wich is the one to power homes and builduings today.
An electric motor is made up of magnets .. some electric induced magnets , some permanent magnets . the electric magnets are arranged so that when the power is turned on they activate in a series of pulsing magnets.. this pulsing causes the magnets in the core and the magnets in the body of the motor to repel and attract as magnets will do .. this repelling and attracting causes the magnets to try and chase each other around .. this action is turning the core of the motor and producing the rotating action expected from an electric motor
There were electric motors built and patented using direct current. The first commutator-type direct current electric motor capable of turning machinery was invented by the British scientist William Sturgeon in 1832. Another was built Emily and Thomas Davenport and patented in 1837. By 1888 Nikola Tesla built and patented his alternating current motor wich is the one to power homes and builduings today.
The first electric motor was the Faraday Motor, invented by Michael Faraday in 1821. This motor was a very rude motor, you have motion from electric energy, but no useful work. In 1831 he discovered electromagnetic induction and invented the first induction motor. See links below for more info.
As a motor refers to the electric verison (petrol is an engine) the first commutator-type direct current electric motor capable of turning machinery was invented by the British scientist William Sturgeon in 1832
It's not certain who built the first one, but many agree it may be a Hungarian man in 1828 (yes, 1828) by the name of Ányos Jedlik, who built a small scale vehicle using an electric motor he designed and built.
In 1821, Michael Faraday built a machine that made a piece of metal move due to the flow of electricity. Although the amount of motion was small, this was the first published design of an electric motor. All subsequent developments in the use of electricity to make motors work came out of this invention. The first electric motor able to turn machinery was built by William Sturgeon in 1832.
A lot!
Michael Faraday invented electromagnetic induction and the balloon
Michael Faraday first invented the electric motor.
William Sturgeon invented the first electric motor, but Thomas Davenport was the first to patent it.
The first hybrid car (built in 1899) used a gasoline engine to supply power to an electric motor that drove the car's front wheels.
Thomas Davenport made an electric motor in 1834. He was a blacksmith in Brandon, Vermont.
Henry Ford built the Quadricycle in 1896.
