explanation of alternator principle
Tesla is keen on reading all kinds of books. He can record the whole book like a camera [14]. Tesla described every detail of the inspiration he experienced in his autobiography. In his early years, he experienced illness and suffering again and again. Suffering from strange pain, dazzling flashes often appear in front of his eyes, accompanied by hallucinations. Most of the time, these visions have ideas about a word or an upcoming flash; Hearing only one word, he can imagine the specific details of this object. Tesla was able to experiment in detail and create those inspirations that had flashed through his mind. This is a skill that is now called visual thinking. Tesla also often quickly recalls things that happened in his early life, which had already appeared in his childhood. [15]
Tesla's alternator is used to transmit electricity over a long distance
France and the United States [Editor ]
In 1882, he went to Paris, France, and worked as an engineer in Edison Company to design and improve electrical appliances. In the same year, Tesla invented the induction motor and began to develop various devices using rotating magnetic fields (patented in 1888).
Not long after, Tesla left Paris in a hurry because he learned that his mother was critically ill. Her mother died a few hours after her arrival, in April 1882. Her last words were: "You finally came, Nicholas, my pride." When she died, Tesla became ill. He spent two or three weeks in Chaz and gospic, his mother's birthplace.
in p>1884, Tesla first set foot on American soil and came to new york. He has almost nothing except a letter of recommendation written by his former employer, Charles Bachler. This letter was written to Thomas Edison, and it said, "I know two great people, you are one of them, and the other is this young man." Edison hired Tesla and arranged for him to work in Edison Machinery Company. Tesla began to design simple electrical appliances for Edison. He made rapid progress and will soon be able to solve some very difficult problems of the company. Tesla is fully responsible for the redesign of Edison's DC motor.
in p>1919, Tesla wrote, "Edison will provide him with an astonishing $5, (including inflation, it is equivalent to $1 million today (26)". Tesla said that his work lasted for nearly a year, and almost the whole generator was redesigned, which enabled Edison to obtain huge profits and new patent ownership. When Tesla asked Edison for $5,, Edison replied, "Tesla, you don't understand our American humor", thus breaking his promise [16][17]. The amount of this bonus is equivalent to the company's founding capital, and with Tesla's salary of $18 a week at that time, he needed to work for 53 years to earn it. When Tesla asked for a raise of $25 a week, he resigned.
Tesla finally found out that his company in Edison was just selling his strength, but during this time, he began to pay attention to the design of AC system.
Middle-aged [Editor ]
In 1886, Tesla founded its own company, Tesla Electric Light &; Manufacturing）。 Investors disagreed with Tesla's plan for an alternating current generator, and he was finally removed from his post. From 1886 to 1887, Tesla worked as an ordinary laborer in new york, not only to make ends meet, but also to accumulate funds for his next project. In 1887, he assembled the earliest brushless alternating current induction motor, and made a demonstration for the American Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 1888. In the same year (1888), he developed the principle of Tesla coil and began to work in Westinghouse Electric &; Manufacturing Company's laboratory in Pittsburgh works with George Westinghouse. Westinghouse listened to his idea of using multiphase system to transmit alternating current remotely.
in the early research, Tesla made many experimental devices to generate x-rays. Tesla believes that with his circuit, "the energy of X-ray light (that is, X-ray) that my instrument can produce is much greater than that that of ordinary instruments." [18]
He also talked about the harm of using his circuit and single-node X-ray generating equipment at work. In his many records of investigating this phenomenon, he attributed many causes of skin damage. He believes that the early skin damage is not caused by X-rays, but by the contact of ozone with skin and some nitrous acid. Tesla mistakenly thinks that X-rays are longitudinal waves.
Tesla completed some experiments to confirm his findings before Roentgen (including taking X-ray photos of his hands, and then he sent them to Roentgen), but he didn't make his findings well known. Most of his research materials were burned in a laboratory fire on Fifth Avenue in March 1895.
Tesla's generator was improved in 1895, in which liquid air was taken into account. Tesla knows that according to Kelvin's discovery, when liquid air is liquefied again, it will absorb more heat that can be used to drive things, which is more than theoretically generated.
Tesla confirmed wireless energy transmission as early as 1891, and Tesla effect (in memory of Tesla) is a term used to describe this type of conductance application (that is, the movement of energy through space and objects is not just like the current through a conductor).
American citizen [editor ]
On July 3th, 1891, 35-year-old Tesla became an American citizen. In the same year, he established his own laboratory on Fifth Avenue in New York. After that, he set up his own laboratory in Houston Street, new york. There, he made a mechanical vibration experiment with an electromechanical oscillator, which caused some buildings around him to vibrate and attracted complaints from the police. With the increase of speed, he reached the * * * vibration frequency of the house with instruments. Later, he discovered the danger of the experiment and was forced to demolish his own house to terminate the experiment. At this time, the police had just arrived. [19] He lit the electric lights in some places in new york wirelessly, which provided evidence for the possibility of wireless transmission. [2]
Some of Tesla's close friends are artists. He met Robert, editor of The Century Magazine. Underwood? Johnson. At the same time, he was also influenced by the discrimination of Vedic philosophy (that is, Indian philosophy), and later he came into contact with Hindu Vedic thought, so that Tesla began to name his basic concepts about matter and energy in Sanskrit. [21]
When Tesla was 36 years old, he obtained the patent right of multiphase power system for the first time. He went on to study the law of rotating magnetic field. From 1892 to 1894, Tesla served as the vice chairman of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the pioneer of the American Institute of Radio Engineers, which later became the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. From 1893 to 1895, he was studying high frequency alternating current. He made a million volts of alternating current with a conical Tesla coil. He studied the "skin effect" in the conductor, designed a tuning circuit, invented a cordless gas discharge lamp, and wirelessly emitted electric energy, making the first radio transmitter. In 1893, in St. Louis, Missouri, Tesla gave a demonstration about radio communication. He gave a speech at Franklin College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, expounding his ideas in detail. He said:
Many years later, human machines can get energy at any point in the universe to drive machines [22].
In 1893, the World Expo (Chicago Columbus Memorial Expo) opened an exhibition area for electronic exhibits for the first time. Tesla and George? Westinghouse has historically illuminated the whole Expo with alternating current to introduce alternating current to visitors. At the exhibition, Tesla showed off his fluorescent lamp and single-node light bulb. A visitor wrote:
"There are two hard rubber plates wrapped in tin foil hanging in the room. The two are about fifteen feet apart. When the power supply is connected, the light bulb and the lamp tube are not connected by wires, and the light bulb emits light. This experiment has the same effect as Tesla's experiment in London two years ago "[23].
Tesla made a copper egg (called Columbus egg) stand on his instrument to illustrate the principle of asynchronous motor and rotating magnetic field.
Edison [Editor ]
In the late 198s, Edison promoted the use of direct current to provide power distribution, which was more effective than the alternating current promoted by Tesla and westinghouse, so Tesla and Edison became competitors to some extent. Until Tesla invented the asynchronous motor, the advantages of long-distance high-voltage transmission of alternating current were also reflected, and the problem that the machine could not use alternating current was also solved. Tesla and westinghouse almost went bankrupt because of the "current war", so in 1897, Tesla used its own royalties to help westinghouse ease the crisis. In the same year, Tesla studied particle radiation, which enabled him to establish the basic equation of cosmic rays. [24]
when Tesla was 41 years old, he applied for the first radio patent, U.S. patent 645,576. A year later, he demonstrated to the US military how to remotely control ships by radio. He thought that the US military would be interested in something like remotely controlled torpedoes. Tesla claims to have built the "Art of Telautomatics", which is a robot and a remote control technology. [25] In 1898, he demonstrated a radio-controlled ship to the public at an electrical exposition in Madison Square Garden. Tesla called the ship "teleautomation". [26] Radio remote control was a novelty before 196s. Tesla invented the "electric igniter" for gasoline engines (internal combustion engines), that is, spark plugs, and he obtained a patent of US patent 69,25.
colorado springs [Editor]
In 1889, Tesla decided to move to colorado springs, Colorado, where he could do high-frequency and high-voltage experiments, and began to do research there. Shortly after his arrival, he told reporters that he was doing a wireless transmission experiment to send signals from Pax Peak (a nearby mountain) to Paris. Tesla's diary contains his exposition on the experiments of longitudinal and transverse waves in the ionosphere and underground. [27]
In the laboratory, Tesla proved that soil is a conductor and made artificial lightning. [28]
Tesla observed lightning and studied atmospheric electricity through his own receiver. The replica of Tesla's receiver and detector is very complex (for example, distributed meta-model, Q factor, cavity resonator, radio frequency feedback and regeneration circuit). [29]
Tesla studies how to transmit energy and electricity wirelessly. On the basis of his own experiments and discoveries, he calculated that the frequency of the earth's vibration was close to 8 Hz. In 195s, researchers confirmed that the cavity resonant frequency of the ionosphere was within this range (later called Schumann vibration).
Tesla left colorado springs on January 7th, 19. The laboratory was demolished and all the contents were sold to pay off debts. The experiment in Colorado prepared for Tesla's next plan, to build a wireless energy transmission facility, which was later Wodenkrifta. Tesla was awarded the U.S. patent 685,12 for inventing an instrument to increase the intensity of electronic fluctuations.
In his later years [Editor]
In 19, Tesla started planning to build the Walden Crever Tower with $15, (51% from John Pierpont Morgan). In July, 192, Tesla's research was moved from Houston Street to Warden Crever Tower, which will be used for wireless transmission of global electricity. But this tower was eventually demolished and scrapped during the First World War. At that time, newspapers called the Walden Crever Tower "Tesla's Million-Building". In 194, the United States Patent and Trademark Office revoked the original judgment and granted the patent right to Guillermo Marconi's radio, after which Tesla began his battle for radio patent right. In 196, on his 5th birthday, Tesla demonstrated his bladeless turbine with 2 horsepower (15 kW) and 1,5 revolutions per minute. During 19-1911, some of his bladeless turbine engines were tested at 1-5 horsepower at the Waterside Power Station in new york.
Field Theory [Editor]
At the age of 81, Tesla claimed that he had finished the Dynamic Theory of Gravity. he
