    induction motor, contemplating his first vision of in the sand, sadly the idea that revolutionized the world remained at the mercy of wind currents in Austria. In 1822, Tesla was hired for the Continental Edison Company in Paris [4] where he repaired electrical power plants. After working there for two years (in 1884) he decided to migrate to the New York where an unrecognized Tesla arrives with unparalleled diligence and ingenuity and was hired at Thomas Edison’s company in New York.…

    illuminated a set of 1000 light bulbs in front of The New York Times office, powered by the power station down the road. At this moment, Edison’s dream would quickly become a reality as large cities with power stations began adopting Edison’s DC electrical grid. However, it would take the work of Tesla and Westinghouse before the modern AC/DC current would be created. The alternating current could more easily be converted into high voltages, which are easily transported over large distances with…

    produce a steady flow of electric current by using the chemical reactions. His great invention is that “he transmitted the electricity by linking positive and negatively charged connectors and driving voltage or electrical charge through them. In 1831, Michael Faraday made a crude power generator (known as electric dynamo) to solve the problem of generating electric current in practical way. So it became feasible to use. He used the magnet in his invention. In 1879, Thomas Edison and his team…

    I think trying to perfect the wave generator used within the CHAMP would be an ideal area of study for me that incorporates my electrical engineering education with my physics background. This would be a stepping-stone to future technologies. For example, a small hand held HPM weapon would allow soldiers to eliminate visible or nearby…

    “In 1887, Tesla filed for seven U.S. patents describing a complete AC system based on his induction motor and including generators, transformers, transmission lines and lighting.” After all the hard work Tesla has done to finish his inventions he still is not done. Nikola Tesla continued his research work on electricity generation and turbine design in his later life. Even…

    But a solution to that problem is working as an intern for the company so that you gain experience in that field. Most engineers trying to get a job often get degrees in multiple fields such as, electrical engineering, computer science, and computer electronics. It is also said that it is a smart idea to join a club or other after school activities to see if you are interested in this field or not. It is also helpful to take a communication class…

    Mechanically switched fixed shunt capacitors enhance the voltage stability limit of system, but are rather insensitive to sudden voltage changes. Also, voltage regulated by the wind generators equipped with only fixed capacitors can become higher than the voltage limit of 1.05 pu. Hence, a fixed capacitor cannot serve as the only source of reactive power compensation. In a STATCOM, the maximum compensating current is independent of…

    John Mauchly pioneered the field of computer science and built the foundation for all modern computing with the creation of the world 's first fully functional digital computer, the ENIAC. The ENIAC, completed in 1946 at the University of Pennsylvania, occupied 1800 square feet, weighed 30 tons, had 18000 vacuum tubes, and cost about $5,000,000 in modern dollars (ENIAC Definition from PC Magazine Encyclopedia). John Mauchly originally conceived the ENIAC as a tool for statistical weather…
