William McLellan (1874-1934) was a British electrical engineer. Born in Glasgow, McLellan joined Charles Merz in 1902 to form the Merz & McLellan consulting partnership. In the 1920s, then Colonel McLellan, he designed the Galloway Hydros hydroelectric power scheme. He was also the first person to create a 250-microgram 2000-rpm motor out of 13 separate parts and collected his reward of $1000 prize provided by Nobel physicist Richard Feynman.(McLellan's entire motor is only as big as the period at the end of this sentence.)
