By the U.S. Navy (1951). First came the vacuum tube, then the transistor, right? Not really. In between there is another "lost" entity. Electronics engineers of the 1950's believed the rugged little magnetic amplifier was going to replace the less reliable vacuum tube in all its functions up to a megacycle. Originating in the USA but adopted and developed by the Nazis for the V2 missile, the mag amp after WWII found a clique of boosters among U.S. electronics engineers. Still evident in some regulators, the mag amp can also magnify, modulate, switch, invert, convert, phase shift, multiply, and even compute. It requires zero maintenance and can handle thousands of amperes. Modulate your Tesla coil with a mag amp. 43 illustrations. Not a reprint. Completely reset and redesigned.A Magnetic Amplifier Bibliography is published separately by High Voltage Press..

Invented by Nikola Tesla in 1891, the Tesla coil can boost power from a wall socket or battery to millions of high-frequency volts. Here is how Tesla built it and how you can from off-the-shelf parts. Meet the beer-bottle capacitor. Lots of background on Tesla's practical applications. 27 illustrations..

Sequel to the classic Tesla Coil. We've thrown lots of sparks, but is this all Tesla had in mind? Utilitarian Tesla. Can Tesla coils do real work? Can they power an alternative fluorescent lighting? Build a "third generation" Tesla coil. Discover the magic of oil immersion, close coupling, and precise pulsing. Build a Tesla lighting plant. Meet the new electronic neon technology. A look at the familiar hybrid spark-ignition-coil and flyback Tesla coils. Then a leap forward to the Tesla coil pulsed directly by solid state, where battery 12 volts can yield 2000. The same circuitry can pulse 500 volts into a primary, yielding 100 times that. Can spark also deliver clean, stable outputs? Meet the Chaffee gap..

Power transfer for large systems depends on high system voltages The basics of high voltage laboratory techniques and phenomena, together with the principles governing the design of high voltage insulation, are covered in this book for students, utility engineers, designers and operators of high voltage equipment.

In this new edition the text has been entirely revised to reflect current practice. Major changes include coverage of the latest instrumentation, the use of electronegative gases such as sulfur hexafluoride, modern diagnostic techniques, and high voltage testing procedures with statistical approaches.

A classic text on high voltage engineering
Entirely revised to bring you up-to-date with current practice
Benefit from expanded sections on testing and diagnostic techniques.

This newly revised and updated reference presents sensible approaches to the design, selection, and usage of high-voltage circuit breakers-highlighting compliance issues concerning new and aging equipment to the evolving standards set forth by the American National Standards Institute and the International Electrotechnical Commission. This edition features the latest advances in mechanical and dielectric design and application from a simplified qualitative perspective. High Voltage Circuit Breakers: Design and Applications features new material on contact resistance, insulating film coatings, and fretting; temperature at the point of contact; short-time heating of copper; erosion and electromagnetic forces on contacts; closing speed and circuit breaker requirements; "weld" break and contact bounce; factors influencing dielectric strength; air, SF6, vacuum, and solid insulation; and dielectric loss and partial discharges, and includes updated chapters on capacitance switching; switching series and shunt reactors; temporary overvoltages; and the benefits of condition monitoring..

The Brooklyn Bridge is a pre-eminent global icon. It is the world's most famous and beloved bridge, a "must-see" tourist hotspot, and a vital fact of New York life. For almost a hundred and forty years it has inspired artists of all descriptions, fueling a constant stream of paintings, photographs, lithographs, etchings, advertising copy, movies, and book, magazine, and LP covers. In consequence, the bridge may have the richest visual history of any man-made object, so much so, in fact, that almost no major American artist has failed to pay homage to the span in some form or other. Oddly, however, there are no books currently available that chart and discuss the bridge's visual history or its role in the development of American (or Western) art. This monograph aims to correct that, providing a full visual record of the bridge from the origins of its conception to the present day. It is a celebration of the bridge's glorious visual heritage timed to appear when the city will celebrate the span's 125 th birthday.

“…Richard Haw's beautiful book is about one of the world's great bridges, but also all about the city that makes it great." -- Russell Shorto, author of The Island at the Center of the World.
