How can a person invent rotating magnetic fields? It's like inventing light, or gravity, or fish. -- Tim Starling 02:10, Aug 4, 2003 (UTC)

It's not invented or made (as you imply) ... mainly they are discovered (or rediscovered, like the battery was). The foundational principles are explained, but the items are there ... just not understood. Einstien didn't invent light ... but he explained the photoelectric model. Tesla didn't invent the rotating magnetic field, but he explained the model. There are plenty of other examples (I hope you can find them ... i'm kinda surprised you didn't know this). reddi

Then maybe someone had better change the article, because it says:
Tesla's inventions include the Rotating magnetic field...
