And Plate Voltage of 200,000 Volts by William Grunstein, E.E. for The Experimenter – January 1925 p. 186 & 201 As our industrial civilization grows in complexity, power generated at a convenient location must be transmitted to more and more distant places. At…
Read MoreA FUEL cell kit which produces electricity by chemical reaction is now being produced by Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co., Milwaukee, Wis. The kit assembles in five minutes and operates on a mixture of sodium hydroxide (lye), hydrogen peroxide (bleach) and methyl alcohol. This solution produces enough current to run a small electric motor. The cell has…
Read MoreCHEMALLOY – A New Alloy for the Science Student Chemalloy Was Developed in 1951 as a fluxless aluminum solder alloy, by combining zinc and lead in the presence of raw muriatic acid, at a temperature of 1500° F. Originally explosive, today the process is reduced to violent boiling and prolonged to five minutes, by the…
Read MoreWireless Transmission of Power now possible by Thomas W. Benson for Electrical Experimenter, March 1920 Recent developments tend to fulfill the old, old dream of power transmission without wires. For years men have labored in vain to transmit power without wires and thus solve a myriad of transportation problems, such as a propelling vehicles, ships,…
