Retrospective Conception Claim
- When
- 1882
- Where
- Budapest
Tesla claimed to have conceived the rotating magnetic field principle in 1882, a concept later used in his induction motor.
The claim is retrospective, linking the 1882 conception to the 1887 motor development. The specific Budapest park location is not supported by the provided passages, which only confirm Tesla's presence in Budapest in 1881 and his move to Paris in 1882.
