Electrician

The problem of obtaining continuous currents from alternating is one that has received not a little attention, and various solutions have been offered on both sides of the Atlantic. Mr. Nikola Tesla...

Our esteemed contemporary the Electrical World devotes an article to describing the methods suggested by M. Nikola Tesla for rectifying alternating currents. We must confess to a certain amount of...

Although the theory of the Tesla motor is now so widely known - though doubtless better known than understood - yet the practical construction of the apparatus has not yet been explained. The...

The following is an abstract of a Paper of which an advance proof was kindly sent us by Prof. Elihu Thomson:- In connection with an experimental investigation of the properties of alternating currents...

In his address on “Pioneers’ Day” at the recent meeting of the National Electric Association at Providence (R.I.), Prof. Elihu Thomson gave the following interesting account of his early experiences:...

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ELECTRICIAN. Sir: In The Electrician for July 17th there is a description of some experiments made by Mr. Nikola Tesla, which are somewhat similar in character to those shown by...

The beautiful and suggestive experiments on the electric discharge in vacuum tubes, shown by Prof. J. J. Thomson on the occasion of the visit of the Physical Society to Cambridge, in May, have excited...

A communication made at the meeting of the Physical Society, held at Cambridge in the Cavendish Laboratory, on Saturday, May 9th, 1891. The phenomena of vacuum discharges were, he said, greatly...
