Linear energy storage motor

The history of linear electric motors can be traced back at least as far as the 1840s, to the work of at , but Wheatstone's model was too inefficient to be practical. A feasible linear induction motor is described in (1905 - inventor Alfred Zehden of Frankfurt-am-Main), for driving trains or lifts. The German engineer [pdf]
