Driven to Innovate
Ioan James celebrates the extraordinary contribution made by Jewish people in mathematics and physics, from the mathematician Norbert Wiener, the founder of cybernetics, to distinguished nuclear physicist and Nobel Prize-winner Niels Bohr. He tells the life-stories of thirty-five men and women, born in the nineteenth century, who were at the forefront of research in the closely related fields of mathematics and physics, often in the face of various kinds of anti-Semitism. Some were caught up in the trauma of the Nazi accession to power in Germany and the Second World War. Wolfgang Pauli, described as 'greater than Einstein' by his contemporary Max Born, became a German national following the...
Scientific Credibility and Technical Standards in 19th and early 20th century Germany and Britain
The articles in this first volume of ARCHIMEDES explicitly and intentionally cross boundaries between science and technology, and they also illuminate one another. The first three contributions concern optics and industry in 19th century Germany; the fourth concerns electric standards in Germany during the same period; the last essay in the volume examines a curious development in the early history of wireless signalling that took place in England, and that has much to say about the establishment and enforcement of standard methods in a rapidly-developing technology that emerged out of a scientific effect. Historical work over the last few decades has shown that technology cannot be characte...
Energy, the Subtle Concept
Energy is at the heart of physics and of huge importance to society and yet no book exists specifically to explain it, and in simple terms. In tracking the history of energy, this book is filled with the thrill of the chase, the mystery of smoke and mirrors, and presents a fascinating human-interest story. Moreover, following the history provides a crucial aid to understanding: this book explains the intellectual revolutions required to comprehend energy, revolutions as profound as those stemming from Relativity and Quantum Theory. Texts by Descartes, Leibniz, Bernoulli, d'Alembert, Lagrange, Hamilton, Boltzmann, Clausius, Carnot and others are made accessible, and the engines of Watt and Jo...
Power Struggles
Laying the foundation for Thomas Edison, the first electric generators were built in the 1830s, the earliest commercial lighting systems before 1860, and the first commercial application of generator-powered light in the early 1860s. This book examines some of these early applications of electricity.
Basic Electrical Engineering: Principles, Designs and Applications
Basic Electrical Engineering: Principles, Designs and Applications has been widely utilized in recent years in electrical engineering, microprocessors, electrical drives, and power electronics research, among other fields. This book aims to cater to the needs of the undergraduate courses in the discipline of Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Instrumentation and Control Engineering and postgraduate students specializing in Electronics, Control Engineering. It will also serve as reference material for engineers employed in industry. The fundamental concepts and principles behind transformers, three-phase circuits and electrical generators and motors are explained in a simple, easy-to-understand manner. Each chapter contains a good number of short answers and of multiple-choice questions with explanation which makes the book quite useful for Indian Engineering Service(IES), Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), National Eligibility Test (NET), State Eligibility Test (SET), University Grants Commission- Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (UGC-CSIR) and other entrance examinations.
Antonio and the Electric Scream
Antonio Meucci represents an unlikely story in American history. Having come of age in Florence, Italy, he immigrated to America by way of Cuba, where he lived for many years and where he worked with the Italian Opera Company. Familiar with telegraphy, wherein intelligence (information) was being transmitted through a wire, he proposed to transmit human voice through the same type of wire. Having come to New York, and having established several kinds of business, he experimented with his telettrofono (electric phone). Satisfied with the results of having transmitted voice intelligence from one end to the other end of copper wire, Meucci applied for a patent and received a caveat instead. A. Graham Bell, however, received a patent for a similar invention. Now, finally, after more than 160 years, Meucci is being vindicated: 1) A Silver and Bronze Medal were struck by The Italian American Bicentennial Society. 2. The Meucci-Garibaldi Museum has been established in New York. 3. The US Postal Services has published a commemorative stamp, and, 4. The 107th Congress of the United States resolved to recognize Meucci as the inventor of the telephone.
