    the experimenter, many of the participants, across the various experiments with differing circumstances, demonstrated a willingness to go to the full 450 volts regardless of the protests of the learner. In the 1963 Milgram experiment, over two-thirds of the participants reached the full 450 volts, with all of the participants reaching 300 volts. Therefore, the experiment concluded with the fact that ordinary people are fully capable of going against their morals and inflicting fatal harm on…

    pioneered the use of the 120-volt DC electrical system in airplanes when they designed to use it instead of the conventional 24-volt direct current (D.C.) system1. They choose the 120- volt DC instead of the 24- volt DC because it reduced the weight by 75 percent1. In addition to that, the high voltage provided a safety margin in case of electrical leakage in any of the 32 miles of wire inside the Spruce Goose. It also allowed manageable wire sizes to be used1. (A 24-volt system, the engineers…

    Wind Turbine Electricity Generation Abstract- This research paper presents a small attic wind turbine system consists of 120 Volt Direct Current, 2500 rpm, 60 Watts generator which is attached to the rooftop ventilator wind turbine. When the ventilator turbine rotates at a low current wind speed, the generator produces DC voltage high enough to charge to the 12 Volt, 125 Ampere hour batteries bank for household appliances or lighting usage. The prototype generator testing is carried out in…

Milgram’s (1963) interest in the subject of obedience began as he questioned how individuals could commit acts of extreme violence against others simply because they were ordered. Milgram’s (1963) theoretical proposition was that humans would follow or obey an order from powerful authority figures, even if it went against all…
