About this book

Motors is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the principles, construction, and operation of electric motors, written by James Slough Zerbe and first published in 1915. Aimed at both the curious layperson and the aspiring engineer, the book demystifies the inner workings of motors, providing clear explanations of the science behind electromagnetism, armatures, commutators, and field coils. Zerbe's engaging style combines practical instruction with historical context, tracing the evolution of motor technology from its earliest experiments to the cutting-edge innovations of the early twentieth century. The book is richly illustrated with detailed diagrams and step-by-step instructions, making it an invaluable resource for hobbyists, students, and inventors. Readers will find thorough discussions on the differences between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) motors, the significance of winding arrangements, and the methods for testing and troubleshooting common issues. Zerbe also explores the applications of motors in everyday life, from powering household appliances to driving industrial machinery, and offers insights into the future potential of electric power. Motors stands as both a historical document and a practical manual, capturing the excitement of a transformative era in technology. Whether you are interested in building your own motor, understanding the devices that power the modern world, or simply appreciating the ingenuity of early inventors, this book offers a fascinating and informative journey into the heart of electrical engineering.
