This company was named in recognition of the father of AC induction motors, Nikola Tesla.

这家公司是为了流电动机之父尼古拉·特拉而命名的。

In July 2003, Musk teamed with three of them, Ian Wright, Marc Tarpening and Martin Eberhard to form the Tesla Corporation, in recognition of the father of AC induction motors, Nikola Tesla.

2003年7月，马克与其中3人：伊恩·怀特、马克·塔彭宁和马丁·艾伯哈德合作成立了特拉公司，以流电动机之父尼古拉·特拉。

A launcher powered by a linear-induction motor has several advantages over the steam-driven catapults used on existing aircraft carriers, according to General Atomics.

据通用原子公司称，与现在航空母舰上使用的蒸汽动力弹射器相比，由线性电动机提供动力的发射台有多个优点。

They have a single speed transmission that sends power from the induction motor to the wheels.

它们具有单速变速箱，该变速箱将功率电动机传递到车轮。

An induction-motor-powered platform, by contrast, would be optimised for the job at hand.

相比之下，由电动机提供动力的平台最适合手头的这个工作。

Nor is the idea complete fantasy. General Atomics, an American military contractor, has already built and tested a linear-induction-motor-based system of this sort at an airbase at Lakehurst, New Jersey.

这个想法并不完全是幻想。通用原子公司是一家美军的承包商，其已经在一座位于新泽西州莱克赫特的空军基地建造了一个这类基于线性电动机的系统，并进行了测试。

Off the clock however, Tesla continued to advance the AC theory after he was sent to work on a project in Strasbourg, where he built the first induction motor prototype.

不过下班后， 特拉继续推进流电理论， 在被派往特拉堡的一个项目工作期间，他建造了第一台电动机原型。

That very same year, the Niagara Falls Power Company awarded Westinghouse the contract to generate power from the Niagara Falls with Tesla's AC induction motor.

那同一年，尼亚加拉瀑布电力公司授予威汀豪合同，使用特拉的流电动机尼亚加拉瀑布发电。
