Well, let me start off by saying that both Tesla and Edison had many inventions that changed the world in a 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…
World War II took place from 1939-1945. It was a war in which women had to take on responsibilities that had previously been unavailable to them to compensate for the roles of men whilst they were away at war. The impact of World War II had repercussions for Australian society. The changing roles of women during World War II impacted upon both Australian women and men. Prior to World War II women had an insignificant role within society and previous wars. The Second South African Anglo-Boer War…

The invention of steel, gunpowder and other technologies of war changed the battlefields throughout the history, but none so dramatically as innovations of airpower. Those innovations are the main cause that gave birth of a unique military capabilities only airpower can provide; among other, to attack directly enemy targets from the air regardless of their location, and to observe from the air.1 Today’s includes all available relevant technology for commanders to use in air, space, and…

to way above a million volts” (Hearst 96). Dangerously, the voltages are then emitted in the form of electrical arcs. These “arcs” are what we see as mini lightning bolts (Hearst 96). They were generally used for radio transmitters and wireless telegraphy. Tesla Coils harness the energy to create extremely powerful electric fields. The fields can then be used to wirelessly light up light bulbs, although they may be burned out (Hearst 96). Nikola Tesla’s Tesla Coils became so popular that the…
The Radio is one of the most important means of communication that has affected nearly every single person on the planet. The radio can transmit messages from all over the world in an instant so that a person can listen to what is on it. The history of this device began in the 1800's and continued being developed and improved on as time went by, which was created by different inventors and became the radio as people know it today. Heinrich Hertz discovered radio waves in 1887. The waves moved…
Beginning in 1870 and ending in 1900, the Gilded Age was a period of industrial growth and economic prosperity followed by the Progressive Era. Inventors and industry prospered, new job opportunities were formed, anybody had the chance to become successful. America began to urbanize, migrants and immigrants moved to cities to find work. While there were pros of the Gilded Age, there were also cons; corrupt politics, robber barons and unequal distribution of wealth were just a few of the issues…
The urgency of communication was never much felt until the beginning and use of the telegraphy. It was much easier to transmit and receive messages over long distances that no longer needed physical transport of letters. Telegraph created a new way of communication and invented the Morse Code that was used during the Civil War for the soldiers and troops to stay connected. The invention of the telegraph modernized communication, added the US victory of the Civil War, and improved the economy in…
