In the following I shall consider three exceptionally interesting errors in the interpretation and application of physical phenomena which have for years dominated the minds of experts and men of science. 1. The Illusion of the Axial Rotation of the Moon. 2. The Fallacy of Franklin's Pointed Lightning-Rod. 3. The Singular Misconception of the Wireless. Tesla is well known for his inventions, speeches and articles, many of which are readily available....

Nikola Tesla was a genius, who revolutionized how the world looks at electricity. In 1893, he patented an electro-mechanical oscillator as a steam-powered electric generator. By his own account, one version of the oscillator caused an earthquake in New York City in 1898, for which it was, accorded the moniker, "Tesla's earthquake machine."

Nikola Tesla was one of history's greatest scientists, and though he is best known for his pioneering work with electricity, the fact that he is mostly remembered solely for that actually does a disservice to his legacy. Born a Serb in the Austrian Empire, Tesla came to the United States and worked in a laboratory for none other than the Wizard of Menlo Park, Thomas Edison. It was through his work on behalf of Edison that Tesla flourished and became...

Nikola Tesla was a genius who revolutionized how the world looks at electricity. During college, his professors explained that it was impossible to design an engine without commutators or brushes. Tesla was unconvinced that such was necessary or even particularly desirable. It was then that Tesla began his work on the rotating field motor that ultimately gave birth to the modern age. In May of 1888, Tesla delivered his lecture "A New System of Alternating...

A fascinating early 20th Century look at the science of electricity, including some of the interesting and sometimes bizarre uses that early inventors found for the electrical force, such as Edison's electromagnetic pen (a very early form of photocopier), an instrument that could detect the level of starlight, and even (don't try this one at home kids!) a method for electro-plating lizards!

Albert Einstein characterized the work of James Clerk Maxwell as the "most profound and the most fruitful that physics has experienced since the time of Newton." Max Planck went even further, declaring that "he achieved greatness unequalled," and Richard Feynman asserted that "From a long view of the history of mankind - seen from, say, ten thousand years from now - there can be little doubt that the most significant event of the nineteenth century...

Primarily, this book will teach you the difference between conductors and insulators. You will also learn the mechanics of each, as well as some examples. Knowing what conductors and insulators is the first step to ensuring electrical safety. You would know which to hold and which not to hold without protective equipment. Read and learn more about electricity.

Electricity flows if a positive terminal and a negative terminal are completely connected. That's the most basic information there is about the structure of electrical circuits. However, this book will take you deeper into the topic. It will also discuss the difference between closed and open circuits. It will also explain, who a short circuit is called as such.
