Electricity

Ever since I was a child, electricity was magic; I would spend countless hours trying to discover how it worked. Electromagnetism is now the focus of this childlike obsession, as it is as equally fascinating to me as the outlets were to the person of my youth. The Office of Naval Research…

engineer and inventor, who may have had some mental issues but never let that prevent him from doing amazing things. My interest in Nikola Tesla comes from his work including electric power. As an electrical engineer I am obviously interested in electricity myself. When he was nineteen years of age he started studying electrical engineering at Polytechnic Institute at Graz in Austria. There he was an excellent student. In June of 1884, Tesla traveled to New York City and got a job working for…

In 1876-1900 the era of electricity had sparked with inventions and events. The era of 1876-1900 was very significant to America. This era was significant because of the invention of the light bulb, the foundation of Red Cross, and the Klondike Gold Rush. The first event that made the 1876-1900 era important to America was the invention of the light bulb. The light bulb was never really “Invented” but when Thomas Edison had made his version, it had outdone any other design at the time. Instead…

In the India, the electricity supply in 60 Hz and the other country like as Europe in many places use 50 Hz alternative current electricity. Power line interference occurs through two mechanisms: capacitive and inductive coupling. Capacitive coupling refers to the transfer of energy between two circuits by means of a coupling capacitance…

citizen of the United States of America at the age of 35. In the year 1891, Nikola Tesla had one of his biggest accomplishments when he invented the Tesla coil. Eight years later he discovered Terrestrial Stationary Waves; everyone could now have electricity. Following this event, construction started on the new Wardenclyffe tower; Tesla’s lab in Colorado Springs got torn down only 3 years after this. Once all of these things were over he embarked on the building of the first ever air-friction…

Inventions Throughout the discovery of electricity, the light bulb, and even the first airplane have all been important inventions to the world. When thinking about inventions they use curiosity, motivation, and creativity. Though what makes an invention is chance and necessity, they may happen by chance or on accident. In other cases, people may need an invention to solve a problem. When thinking about chance and necessity, they both play a huge role in the development of inventions. Chance is…

of electrosurgery use today were developed in the early part of the 20th century; however, the history of the technique goes back as far as the early 19th Century. The French Physicist Becquerel was the first to demonstrate electrocautery, using electricity to heat a wire needle. Later in 1892 d’Arsonoval discovered high frequency alternating electrical current could be passed through the body without causing electrical shock. During the 1920s two Americans physicians, Bovie and Cushing…

Tesla was born on July 10,1846 and died January 7,1943. Tesla died from a disease called Coronary Thrombosis The disease causes clots in the blood vessels in the heart it is classified as a type of ischemic heart disease aka heart attack. Tesla grew up in a family of five children which included himself and his siblings Dane, Angelina, Milka and Marica. Tesla's interest in electrical invention was caused by his mother inventing small household appliances in her spare time while her son was…

Electroconvulsive Therapy Electroconvulsive therapy is a medieval use of electricity to attempt to “rewire” the brain to treat psychological disorders. This type of therapy causes a vast array of possible complications that can follow the procedure; cognitive issues such as memory loss and physical ones such as musculoskeletal injuries. Electroconvulsive therapy should be abolished because it poses too great of a danger to patients. This Therapy has been a leading issue in the regard of…

Ever heard of Nikola Tesla? You probably haven't heard of him: Have you ever heard of the Tesla? Probably haven't heard of it either. Have you been living under a rock ?? (No disrespect). Nikola Tesla was a better inventor than Thomas Edison, in this essay I will be telling you why he as a better inventor and about Nikola Tesla life. First of all, let's setup the setting and the scene as if it was an actual movie. Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856, in Smiljan, Lika, which was then…
