Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lightning, Thunder and Lightning Conductors: With an Appendix on the Recent Controversy on Lightning Conductors The electricity produced by an ordinary machine exhibits, under certain condition, phenomena which bear a striking resemblance to the phenomena attendant on lighting. In both cases there is a flash of light; in both there is a report, which, in the case of lightning, we call thunder; and, in both cases, intense heat is developed, which is capable of setting fire to combustible bodies. Further, the spark from an electric machine travels through space with extraordinary rapidity, and so does a flash of lightning; the spark follows a zig-zag course, and so does a flash of lightning; the spark moves silently and harmlessly through metal rods and stout wires, while it forces its way, with destructive effect, through bad conductors, and it is so, too, with a flash of lightning. Lastly, the electricity of a machine is capable of giving a severe shock to the human body; and we know that lightning gives a shock so severe as usually to cause immediate death. For these reasons it was long conjectured by scientific men that lightning is, in its nature, identical with electricity; and that it differs from the electricity of our machines only in this, that it exists in a more powerful and destructive form. Identity of Lightning and Electricity. - But it was reserved for the celebrated Benjamin Franklin to demonstrate the truth of this conjecture by direct experiment. He first conceived the idea of drawing electricity from a thundercloud in the same way as it is drawn from the conductor of an electric machine. For this purpose he proposed to place a kind of sentry-box on the summit of a lofty tower, and to erect, on the sentry-box, a metal rod, projecting twenty or thirty feet upward into the air, pointed at the end, and having no electrical communication with the earth. He predicted that when a thundercloud would pass over the tower, the metal rod would become charged with electricity, and that an observer, stationed in the sentry-box, might draw from it, at pleasure, a succession of electric sparks.

This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Practice in the Erection of Lightning Conductors So it is exactly with the store of energy beneath an electrified cloud or be tween one cloud and another. A lightning conductor of perfect conductivity, it struck, would deal with the energy in far too rapid and sudden a manner, and the result would be equivalent to an explosion. A conductor of moderately high resistance, such as an iron wire, would get rid of it in a slower and there fore much safer and quieter manner, though with too thin a wire there may be risk of fire. The rush in any case, however, is likely to be rather violent, and, like an avalanche. It will not take the easiest path provided for it. As if it were a trickling stream, but will crash through obstacles and make its own path, some portions of it taking paths which would be quite unexpected. Hence, no one path can be said to protect others, and the only way to protect a building with absolute completeness is to inclose it wholly in metal. An invisible cage or framework of iron wires, however, descending vertically down its salient fea tures, with the utilization of any metal in its construction, suffices for all practical purposes, unless the building is a powder magazine. The effect of points, and of rain also. In gradually dissipating a charge. And thereby contributing to safety. Has long been understood; but the feature which has not been known is that there are cases where points are wholly inoperative, viz, when the energy is stored between cloud and cloud. Instead of between cloud and earth. And when the initial discharge takes place from one cloud to another; then the lower cloud is liable suddenly to overflow to earth through a region in which there was no previous preparation, and where any number of points. Or a rain shower, or any other form of gentle leak, would have been quite inoperative. Then can a violent discharge occur to even the sharpest point; and a hot column of air, such as rises up a chimney, is even preferred to a conductor. These are the flashes against which points and rain are no protection, and these are prob ably those which do the most damage to protected buildings. But it must be understood that when a flash does occur through a building. It matters little which kind of flash it is - both can be equally sudden and violent - but if the building is well provided with points, the first or prepared kind is not likely to occur, save in exceptional cases; the dangerous liability is then the sudden or overflow variety of flash.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
