Biography
Ferraris gained a Bachelor in engineering and became an assistant of technical physics near the Regal Italian Industrial Museum. Ferraris' independently researched the rotary magnetic field in 1885. (This was three years after Nikola Tesla's identification of the concept). Ferraris experimented with types of asynchronous electric motors. The research resulated in the development of an alternating-current motor. In 1888, Ferraris published his research in a paper to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Turin (which the same year that Tesla gained U.S. Patent 381968). The rotating magnetic field is a magnetic field that rotates. ... 1885 is a common year starting on Thursday. ... Nikola Tesla (July 10, 1856 – c. ...

In 1889, Ferraris worked at the Italian Industrial institution, a school of electrical engineering (the first school of this kind in Italy; subsequently incorporated in the Politecnico di Torino). In the 1896, Ferraris joined the Italian Electrotechnical Association and became the first national President of the orginization. 1889 was a common year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar). ...
