Talk:Linear induction motor

Clarification of equations
These equations like so many on Wikipedia require additional information. Typically, some variables are not easily defined. Pole pitch. There is no information on what this means, no link, and most importantly, no units. Number of poles... These things are not readily apparent to a layman. Equations should have SOLVED SAMPLES. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.114.124.158 (talk) 15:31, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

How linear induction motors work
This article is missing quite alot of information. It explains what linear induction motors are used for but the definition of a linear induction motor doesn't state that it's used for a certian purpose. If another type of motor was used for the same purpose, being used for that purpose instead of another purpose wouldn't cause it to be called a linear induction motor. This article only discusses properties of linear induction motors and not the definition. I think the definition of a linear induction motor is how the motor works. This article should have a section titled 'Description' that describes how linear induction motors work. It should explain the structure of a linear induction motor as well as how currents flow through its coils and how those currents generate a magnetic magnetic field. It's worse than not describing how a steam train works in the article Steam locomotive would be because unlike a linear induction motor, how steam trains work is not part of the definition of a steam train. Furthermore, that section should also link the article Right hand rule so that people who don't know about the right hand rule would be able to click the link to complete their understanding of how linear induction motors work without the description being too long for people who already know about the right hand rule. I think the 'Uses' section is also incomplete because it doesn't describe the alternate use of linear induction motors for a fan and I don't know if there are any reliable sources for that use of one.

What is "Slip"?
The article contains multiple references to something called slip, but never explains what this is. I'd edit to add an explanation, but I don't know what slip is myself. Andylatto (talk) 17:20, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
