I have been much interested in the account of novel phenomena given under the title “ Some Experiments on the Electric Discharge in Vacuum Tubes ,” by Prof. J. J. Thomson, and published in your issue...

It is characteristic of fundamental discoveries, of great achievements of intellect, that they retain an undiminished power upon the imagination of the thinker. The memorable experiment of Faraday...

Last year Mr. James Swinburne brought forward the theory that an open iron circuit could be made more efficient than any form of closed iron circuit transformer. The loss in a transformer, he argues...

The Western Electrician describes a new design of Mr. Tesla for operating motors, the main features of which are as follows: “If an alternating current be passed through the field-coils only of a...

With reference to the recent discoveries by Dr. Ferrari and Nikola Tesla in the direction of alternate current motors, the question of prior invention is cropping up already. We learn on good...

Read before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, May 16. In the presence of the existing diversity of opinion regarding the relative merits of the alternate and continuous current systems...

Six patents, says the Electrical Review of New York, were issued last week under date of May 1st to Nickola [ sic ] Tesla, involving the various features of his very remarkable system of distribution...

Some weeks ago, quoting from a New York contemporary, we were able to direct attention to M. Nikola Tesla’s work in connection with the use of alternate currents and motors. At the late meeting of the...

Dr. Louis Duncan gives the following further note on the Tesla motor: “Since writing my last note on this motor Mr. Tesla has read an interesting description of his system before the Institute of...

An abstract of a paper read before the Physical Society. The phenomena of vacuum discharges were, Prof. Thomson said, greatly simplified when their path was wholly gaseous, the complication of the...
