It would be possible to build a 3-phase motor that requires the phases
to be at 0, 90, and 100 degrees. I don't know of ANY benefit to doing
so, but it IS possible.

A 3 phase motor would still run on that, just not very efficiently.


I didn't say it would be efficient, just possible.
As long as there is any phase angle shift available, the motor will
start.
In a single phase motor they do it by creating an LC network in the
start winding. Any polyphase motor has that available natively.
