I like Winnie's descriptions using an Induction Motor.
May sound strange to some, but the Induction Motor is a Transformer with a "Spinning Secondary", and as pointed out by Winnie, the Aux. Winding of a 1Ø Induction Motor may be used to create a Polyphase output from a Single Phase input (by incorporating the Aux. Winding's lead with the 2 leads of the A.C. Power System).
As Mr. Spock would say: Fascinating!!!
