Electric motor - a curiosity
The first working electric motor was built and patented in 1837 in the USA. Its inventor, Thomas Davenport, had already built his first DC motor in 1834 and used it to drive an electric toy train that ran on a circular track. The 1837 motor was equipped with an electromagnet and reached a speed of 450 revolutions per minute, and the designer used it to drive a drill and a wood lathe. A little later, Davenport built an even larger engine to provide the operation of a rotary printing press, on which he began printing the first magazine devoted to electricity in the USA.
