Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electricity and Its Source One or two books have already been written with this avowed object, but have got no further than to dogmatize on a pet theory supported by some effects produced by electricity. AS electricity is only known by its effects, it is right to describe its actions, and the mistake made by the authors of those books was, the working from an uncertain top of theory downwards, instead of from a secure base of facts Upwards.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of Medical Electricity Galvanic or Voltaic electricity receives its name from the early Observers Galvani of Bologna and Volta of Pavia. Between whom an earnest controversy existed as to the origin of the phenomena. Volta held that the galvanic current was caused by the contact Of two dissimilar metals; but this theory is rejected by scientists of the present day. On the other hand, Galvani claimed that the results produced by him were due to electricity generated in the animals on which he Operated. It remained for Fabroni, of Florence, to first intimate that chemical action was really its source; and he enunciated this opinion whilst observing the action taking place in the pile invented by Volta about one year before the latter's death. Many eminent scientists of that day supported this view, and among them was Sir Humphry Davy. About the year 1807, Sir H. Davy obtained by electro lysis the elements potassium and sodium; and thereafter dis coveries followed in rapid succession, owing to the labor of such tireless workers as Dulce, Zamboni, and Oerstead, until a cul minating point was attained in 1827, when Ohm announced the law which has since borne his name. Mathematical accuracy as applied to electricity then for the first time assumed its posi tion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

What these possibilities are, has been well described by one of our leading statesmen, who naturally regards the question dispassionately from a statesman's standpoint, and without the enthusiasm of the scientist or the inventor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primary Cells as Source of Power During the period from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the early eighties, the primary cell as such reached its most rapid development. Special cells were designed, and new types of cells were invented for all the various uses of electricity. Those that were designed for work requiring but very small current, such as standard cells, dry cells, the Daniel cell, gravity cell etc., have survived, but those that were invented to supplant the dynamo have never come into practical use. The class between the two just mentioned never developed due to the invention of the storage battery. The storage battery offering such bright prospects encouraged in ventors to extend their energies in that direction, thus caus ing a remarkable development of the storage battery and leaving the primary cell as a source of power, in a primitive stage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Electricity The book, therefore, seems to me admirably adapted for the instruction of a class, but there is another point of view from which it may be regarded. If the man in the street, or, in other words, a person of ordinary information and intelligence who has passed through the ordinary school curriculum, wishes to obtain some insight into the nature of electricity, there is hardly any English book at present to which he can be referred. Diagrammatic descriptions of machines for the commercial pro duction of electrical energy will hardly help him to what he wants, nor will the analysis of compli cated instruments, like Lord Kelvin's multicellular voltmeter. Here, on the other hand, he should find many simple experiments, which, even without actually performing them, should give him, when read, a fair apprehension of the laws they are intended to illustrate, and should enable him to appreciate the many popular lectures now delivered on the subject.

This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Electricity, by the Deductive Method Many years ago the author discovered the fact that an endless ﬂexible shaft revolving about its geometric axis was a helpful analogy of the transmis sion of energy by electricity. The applications Of this analogy have been extended at intervals, and a pamphlet on the subject was published in 1915. The analogy when used in connection with a single working hypothesis has universal application, afford ing the student the advantage of the deductive method Of study. A considerable number of students have from time to time expressed their appreciation of the assistance they have derived from the use of this analogy. Only quite recently has the attempt been made to extend the analogy and its accompanying working hypothesis to the solution Of all the problems of electric transmission of energy by both direct and alternating current. The result has led to the publica tion of this book. Caution - The student or the critical reader should keep clearly in mind that the analogy used as a basis for deductive study is not here presented as a theory. Neither the value nor the results of the method are at all dependent upon our views as to the probability of the real existence of the elementary ﬂexible shafts referred to in the analogy. All teachers, I believe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Yet there is no fundamental distinction on this account. Ultra-violet light - provided extremely Short wave-lengths are used - does ionise gases just as readily as X-rays. But with the ordinary sources Of ultra-violet light, the surface effect is the only one Observed, and the methods, Of investigating it differ considerably from the methods employed in studying gaseous ionisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transmission of Power: Polyphase System There are to-day thousands of waterfalls with millions of horse power of energy going to waste for lack of economical means of transporting such power to places of use. Each horse power of work for ten hours for each working day requires, through a steam engine, about six tons of coal per annum, so that the development and utilization of these inexhaustible sources of power will be equivalent to the saving of millions of tons of coal each year, and will thus assist in solving the problem of conserving our enormous, but exhaustible, fuel supply. The means for transporting this power and delivering it in suit able form for commercial uses is found in recent applications of electricity. Through the developments already made, electric energy is now available for lighting, for the distribution of power and for heating. The wide extent of its successful application to lighting, and the distribution of power are familiar to every one, and its utilization in heating bids fair to make this method a formidable rival of coal in the vicinity of water powers. The introduction of successful methods of utilizing these natural sources of power will not only meet the present demands of cities within a suitable radius, but it may be safely predicted that there will be a rapid building up of industries in such localities, and a couse quent shifting of centers of population, with also a development of industries which have heretofore lain dormant on account of the cost of power.
