    The discovery of electricity and the invention of the lightbulb in the mid-19th century revolutionized the American society, politics, and culture. During the mid 19th century life was different: candles were the only source of light, transport was steam-powered, food was stored in ice boxes. However, within the next fifty years, electricity would change that. In 1878, Thomas Edison invented the incandescent lightbulb; in 1888, Frank Sprague’s electric trolley system became the first…

    way. They both to me in my opinion were the utmost ingenious people to put forth ideas that no one else would of thought before. If it weren't for them both we won't be holding some of the stuff that we have today, like our phones and instead of electricity something else like candle power. I would love to be an apprentice on their side for either Edison or Tesla because it would have been so facinatincting to see how they created these inventions that are in our life today. Now, Edison was…

    electronic field are used to transmit electricity and telecommunications signals. For examples, from view of construction, wires are either braided or fixated together to form a bundle of strands, namely multi-stranded wire or conventionally known as cable, that can be utilized to construct structural buildings such as suspension bridges, holding pillars of skyscrapers, and etc. On the other hand, wires are also mainly used as the “bridge” to conduct electricity…

    and ice particles above the freezing level collide. Once the liquid and ice particles collide, they build up large electrical fields in the clouds. A “spark” occurs whenever these electric fields become large enough to produce static electricity. The static electricity reduces the charge separation. The spark made…

    they spin the shaft which is connected to the electrical generator. Turbines are complicated machines that includes sophisticated gearboxes for increasing the spinning shaft speed from 30 to 60 (rpm) required by most of the generators to produce electricity. The power in the win is directly proportional to the cube of the wind speed, to make that clear, for example a 20 (KPH) wind speed will generate 8 times the power of 10 (KPH). However this doesn’t happen a lot cause of the wind change in…

    Who was a better inventor LeoNardo DA Vinci or Thomas Edison? It has been long debated on who was a better inventor, Leonardo DA Vinci or Thomas Edison? Thomas Edison might have been a leading inventor in his time, because he created the light bulb but that was really his main achievement. Leonardo DA Vinci was better because he had more inventions, better known for his work, and he was specialized in many lines of inventing. Now you really need to think Thomas Edison was responsible for…
