worked extensively with levers. In addition‚ he described the concept of buoyancy and invented Archimedes’ screw to raise water. 7. Nikola Tesla championed the alternating current of electric flow‚ which is the means by which electric current is carried in the modern world. Tesla also improved upon the transformer and the electric bulb‚ and invented the Tesla coil. 8. Max Planck is known as the father of quantum mechanics‚ and showed how the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency

The episode began with the actions of Carnegie’s chairman‚ Frick‚ and how they negatively impacted Carnegie’s business‚ forcing him to rethink his previous ways when someone makes an assassination attempt on Frick. Frick overworked and underpaid Carnegie’s employees which led to strikes and death. Frick survived the attempt on his life but did not get to keep his job as Carnegie’s chairman‚ as Carnegie saw him as almost a threat in his company. Carnegie reaches another problem‚ his company is failing

idea was brilliant‚ but had one set back. A power station was needed every mile due to D.C. only flowing in one direction. This wasn’t a very practical form of electricity or cost effective‚ another idea or form of electricity was needed. Welcome Nikolas Tesla‚ he came up with the idea of AC (Alternating Current) with this form of electricity the flow of electric charge changes direction periodically in relation to a sine wave. With this new type of electricity it could be sent much further due to

Few events in the state of Texas are as prestigious as the annual Texas Tech University Commencement. Last December‚ I was fortunate enough to be selected as one of the speakers for at the Bachelor’s ceremony. Knowing that on that day‚ I would be looked upon by hundreds of young and hard-working students‚ I pondered what message I would give them. What could inspire these young-adults‚ these graduates‚ who are brimming with the potential to change‚ innovate‚ and shape our world? The answer‚ it

Thomas Edison: An inventor and a businessman Thomas Alva Edison was an inventor and a businessman. He had created many devices that influenced the world at that time. Edison was among the first to apply principles of mass production to the process of invention. ("Thomas Edison". Wikipedia.com 1). A lot of inventions were original‚ and some inventions were improvements of earlier inventions. He was known for being very creative‚ never giving up‚ and being extremely competitive.

Industrial Revolution was alternating electric current (AC current) . AC current‚ invented by Nikola Tesla‚ is involved in everything around us today. From outlets and electric heat to a majority of common household appliances‚ AC current is seen in a large portion of what we today consider as “everyday items”. While certain people‚ such as Henry Ford‚ have only invented an apparatus with one purpose‚ Nikola Tesla invented a way to transport energy‚ therefore creating many different ways to use the invention

in cathode ray tubes and deduced that cathode rays existed of negatively charged particles‚ which he called corpuscles (later called electrons). In 1901‚ Nikola Tesla received the patent US68597 (Apparatus for the Utilisation of Radiant Energy) that describes radiation charging and discharging conductors (metal plates) by "radiant energy". Tesla used this effect to charge a capacitator with energy by means of a conductive plate. These devices were referred to as "photoelectric alternating stepping
