Atmospheric electricity

most homes, factories, and business buildings have in common? They all typically run on electricity and not one of these places can go without it. Many people are unaware of certain necessary methods that are used to derive these power sources from the earth. There are numerous ways of generating electricity, and more recently fossil fuels such as natural gas have played a major part in producing electricity. However; the most efficient way to harness this natural fuel is through a process…

know how a blender works but in reality they only know the very basic parts of how one turns electricity to blended smoothie goodness. In this article one will learn how the Hamilton Beach 12-speed 52254 operates in part by part sections that will take the reader from how the electricity enters the machine to how the food gets blended into a delicious concoction. The power cord transports electricity to the motor which is then regulated by the circuit board and buttons to blend and…

Stray current corrosion: Stray current is the current which occurs when conductors are placed between high magnetic or electric fields. Presence of stray currents over the PCB surface can generate corrosion problems. The below figure 5 shows severe corrosion damage to micro wave module for 24 GHz. This equipment is built in controlled conditions where water condensation is possible. After few hours of use, severe corrosion was seen on the surface. Figure 5. Stray current corrosion of a micro…

Chapter 3 Interleaved Buck Converter System 3.1 INTRODUCTION Interleaved Buck Converter has lots of concentration due to its simple and low control complexity in application. where no isolation and high output current with low ripple. An No isolation DC/DC converter Fig.1.1 shows the step-down DC/DC converter. When switch M is on for the duration of dTs, power is transferred from source to load and filter inductor L is charged. When switch M is off for a duration (1-d)Ts, the diode D…

Rotor and touchdown bearing models Fig. 1 features the case study of the high-speed rotor. The photo was taken after manufacturing of the electric motor part, when the rotor was carried to the laboratory for an experimental modal analysis. During normal operation, the rotor is supported by AMBs. In the dropdown event, the rotor is in contact with touchdown bearings at both ends of the rotor. Fig. 1. Rotor under investigation. In this work, the finite element model of the rotor employs…

Right now, I want you to take a look at your phone. When you do this you will find many different components that make your phone, well, your phone. The screen is lit up. Voice transmitting, really making it a phone. There is a camera, which is along the lines of motion photography. Music recorded on your phone, dating back to the first phonograph. And last but not least, a nickel alkaline battery, powering the whole phone. What does this have to do with what I am researching, you may ask? All…

not to compare the two. They worked for years creating and perfecting their various inventions. Edison is best known for creating a commercially viable light bulb, and Tesla is remembered for his contributions to the design of alternating current electricity. Though Edison is more well known, both men contributed greatly to the field of electrical science and should forever be remembered. Thomas Edison was born on February 11th, 1847. He grew up in Milan, Ohio, and later moved to Michigan. As…

perks such as traveling and the knowledge to solve almost any problem. Electrical engineering dates back to William Gilbert, the father of electrical engineering, in the 19th century. Gilbert invented the versorium, a device that detects static electricity. Although a versorium will not be found in every…

In addition to the wide catalog of innovative technology on display, the Exhibition was very well known for hosting some of the most iconic inventors in history. “One new invention which interested hardly anybody, yet which would affect the nation profoundly, was Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone. It attracted less notice than the packages of magic tricks on sale nearby” (Brown 132-133). Although Bell was not a United States citizen at the time, his invention was displayed on American soil and…

In essence, Tesla coils are a high-voltage, resonant transformer circuits. They consist of the six major components (Behrend 1), namely: Primary transformer Tank capacitor Spark gap Primary coil Secondary coil Toroid Figure 1: Tesla coil (diagram) A primary transformer is a step-up transformer that takes the line voltage of the AC source and steps it up to a range between 12 kV and 50 kV at 60 Hz (Johnson 4). The efficiency of this transformer is largely dependable on the construction…
