Electricity / by Mason Crest Publishers,author.(CARDINAL)557074;
Electric charge -- Static electricity -- Electric current -- Sources of electricity -- Conductors and insulators -- Magnetism -- Electromagnetism -- Transformers -- Electric circuits -- Electric motors -- Switches -- Tools and equipment -- Common electrical appliances -- Safety -- Measuring instruments -- Consumption of electricity -- Alternative electricity -- Conservation of electricity."Electricity is a form of energy that is created by the flow of electric charges. The word electricity was coined by a physician William Gilbert. Electricity is neither a renewable nor nonrenewable energy source of energy. The concept of electricity is also observed in several creations of nature. Lightning is the most common natural example. Another example, a fish called the electric eel, has a high voltage current in its cells to catch its prey. In addition to all these examples, all the activities in animal and plant cells take place due to electric stimulation occurring inside the nerve cell. Electricity has several applications in today?s world. It is used to run appliances, such as televisions, computers, microwave ovens, washing machines, etc."--

The inventions, researches and writings of Nikola Tesla / by Martin, Thomas Commerford,1856-1924.(CARDINAL)137264; Tesla, Nikola,1856-1943.(CARDINAL)137278;
Includes bibliographical references and index.During the early twentieth century, the eccentric and brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla blazed the path that electrical development followed for many years to come. This fascinating illustrated record of Tesla's pioneering work gathers many of his most famous findings and theories, allowing contemporary readers to experience the amazing range of his thinking. It includes lectures, articles, and discussions--particularly those bearing on polyphase motors and the effects obtained with currents of high potential and high frequency--and gives us a rare glimpse of a genius at work.Biographical and introductory -- A new system of alternating current motors and transformers -- The Tesla rotating magnetic field -- Synchronizing motors -- rotating field transformers -- Modifications and expansions of the Tesla polyphase systems -- Utilizing familiar types of generators of the continuous current type -- Method of obtaining desired speed of motor or generator -- Regulator for rotary current motors -- Single circuit, self-starting synchronizing motors -- Change from double current to single current motors -- Motor with "current Lag" artificially secured -- Another method of transformation from a torque to a synchronizing motor -- "Magnetic lag" motor -- Method of obtaining difference of phase by magnetic shielding -- Type of Tesla single-phase motor -- Motors with circuits of different resistance -- Motor with equal magnetic energies in field and armature -- Motors with coinciding maxima of magnetic effect in armature and field -- Motor based on the difference of phase in the magnetization of the inner and outer parts of a iron core -- Another type of Tesla induction motor -- Combinations of synchronizing motor and torque motor -- Motor with a condenser in the armature circuit -- Tesla polyphase transformer -- A constant current transformer with magnetic shield between coils of primary and secondary.The Tesla effects with high frequency and high potential currents.

Tesla [sound recording] / by Munson, Richard,author.(CARDINAL)717635; Constant, Charles,narrator.;
Read by Charles Constant.Nikola Tesla, a Serbian immigrant, invented the radio, the induction motor, the neon lamp, and the remote control. His breakthrough came in alternating current, the basis of the electric grid and long-distance electrical transmission. This pitted him against Thomas Edison's direct current empire, and bitter patent battles ensued. But Tesla's technology was superior, and eventually he prevailed. Unfortunately, he had no business sense and could not capitalize on this success. His most advanced ideas were unrecognized for decades: forty years in the case of the radio patent; longer still for his ideas on laser beam technology.

The inventions, researches, and writings of Nikola Tesla / by Martin, Thomas Commerford,1856-1924,author.; Tesla, Nikola,1856-1943.;
Preface -- Polyphase currents -- The Tesla effects with high frequency and high potential currents -- Miscellaneous inventions and writings -- Early phase motors and the Tesla oscillators.The early works of famed inventor Nikola Tesla, and a source of inspiration for generations of innovators. At the time it was first published in 1893, The Inventions, Researches, and Writings of Nikola Tesla was considered the bible of electrical engineering and inspired generations of inventors. This volume, edited by Tesla's contemporary, Thomas Commerford Martin, includes extensive discussion of Tesla's early work and inventions and contains more than 300 illustrations that demonstrate the practical application of his ideas. Tesla, who was born in what is now Croatia, is best known for his research into the use of high-frequency alternating currents and wireless transmission. Many of his ideas have found practical application in the modern world, and he continues to be a source of inspiration and fascination to this day.
