Book excerpt: In 'Experiments and Observations Tending to Illustrate the Nature and Properties of Electricity' by William Sir Watson, the author explores the groundbreaking experiments and observations that shed light on the nature and properties of electricity. Written in a clear and concise style, Watson delves into the scientific context of the 18th century, providing detailed explanations of various electrical phenomena and their implications for the understanding of natural philosophy. The book serves as a foundational text in the history of electricity and science, influencing future research and discoveries in the field. The meticulous documentation of experiments and observations make this book a valuable resource for both students and scholars interested in the history of electricity and scientific inquiry. William Sir Watson, a respected scientist and experimenter of his time, was inspired to write this book based on his own extensive research and contributions to the study of electricity. Watson's expertise and meticulous approach to experimentation are evident throughout the book, solidifying his reputation as a leading figure in the field of electricity. His passion for uncovering the mysteries of nature and sharing his findings with the scientific community are reflected in the detailed accounts presented in this seminal work. I highly recommend 'Experiments and Observations Tending to Illustrate the Nature and Properties of Electricity' to anyone interested in the history of science, particularly the study of electricity. This book offers a fascinating insight into the early understanding of electricity and the pioneering work of William Sir Watson in advancing this field of science.

Book excerpt: Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequencyby Nikola TeslaOne reason, perhaps, why this branch of science is being so rapidly developed is to be found in the interest which is attached to its experimental study. We wind a simple ring of iron with coils; we establish the connections to the generator, and with wonder and delight we note the effects of strange forces which we bring into play, which allow us to transform, to transmit and direct energy at will. We arrange the circuits properly, and we see the mass of iron and wires behave as though it were endowed with life, spinning a heavy armature, through invisible connections, with great speed and power--with the energy possibly conveyed from a great distance. We observe how the energy of an alternating current traversing the wire manifests itself--not so much in the wire as in the surrounding space--in the most surprising manner, taking the forms of heat, light, mechanical energy, and, most surprising

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power which electricity of tension possesses of causing an opposite electrical state in its vicinity has been expressed by the general term Induction; which, as it has been received into scientific language, may also, with propriety, be used in the same general sense to express the power which electrical currents may possess of inducing any particular state upon matter in their immediate neighbourhood, otherwise indifferent. It is with this meaning that I purpose using it in the present paper. Certain effects of the induction of electrical currents have already been recognised and described: as those of magnetization; Ampère's experiments of bringing a copper disc near to a flat spiral; his repetition with electro-magnets of Arago's extraordinary experiments, and perhaps a few others. Still it appeared unlikely that these could be all the effects which induction by currents could produce; especially as, upon dispensing with iron, almost the whole of them disappear, whilst yet an infinity of bodies, exhibiting definite phenomena of induction with electricity of tension, still remain to be acted upon by the induction of electricity in motion. Further: Whether Ampère's beautiful theory were adopted, or any other, or whatever reservation were mentally made, still it appeared very extraordinary, that as every electric current was accompanied by a corresponding intensity of magnetic action at right angles to the current, good conductors of electricity, when placed within the sphere of this action, should not have any current induced through them, or some sensible effect produced equivalent in force to such a current. These considerations, with their consequence, the hope of obtaining electricity from ordinary magnetism, have stimulated me at various times to investigate experimentally the inductive effect of electric currents. I lately arrived at positive results; and not only had my hopes fulfilled, but obtained a key which appeared to me to open out a full explanation of Arago's magnetic phenomena, and also to discover a new state, which may probably have great influence in some of the most important effects of electric currents.

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCHES IN ELECTRICITY. FIFTEENTH SERIES. 23. Notice of the character and direction of the electric force of the Gymnotus. Received November 15, --Read December 6, 1838. 1749. Wonderful as are the laws and phenomena of electricity when made evident to us in inorganic or dead matter, their interest can bear scarcely any comparison with that which attaches to the same force when connected with the nervous system and with life; and though the obscurity which for the present surrounds the subject may for the time also veil its importance, every advance in our knowledge of this mighty power in relation to inert things, helps to dissipate that obscurity, and to set forth more prominently the surpassing interest of this very high branch of Physical Philosophy. We are indeed but upon the threshold of what we may, without presumption, believe man is permitted to know of this matter; and the many eminent philosophers who have assisted in making this subject known have, as is very evident in their writings, felt up to the latest moment that such is the case. 1750. The existence of animals able to give the same concussion to the living system as the electrical machine, the voltaic battery, and the thunder storm, being with their habits made known to us by Richer, S'Gravesende, Firmin, Walsh, Humboldt, &c. &c., it became of growing importance to identify the VOL. II. B living power which they possess, with that which man can call into action from inert matter, and by him named electricity (265. 351.). With the Torpedo this has been done to perfection, and the direction of the current of force determined by the united and successive labours of Walsh1, Cavendish9, Galvani3, Gardini4, Humboldt and Gay-Lussac5, Todd6, Sir...

Excerpt: ...when the carbon cup contained a body which was rapidly carried off--I presume because in such cases, with the same potential, higher speeds were reached, and also because, per unit of time, more matter was projected--that is, more particles would strike the glass. The before-mentioned difficulty did not exist, however, when the body mounted in the carbon cup offered great resistance to deterioration. For instance, when an oxide was first fused in an oxygen blast and then mounted in the bulb, it melted very readily into a drop. Generally during the process of fusion magnificent light effects were noted, of which it would be difficult to give an adequate idea. Fig. 23 is intended to illustrate the effect observed with a ruby drop. At first one may see a narrow funnel of white light projected against the top of the globe, where it produces an irregularly outlined phosphorescent patch. When the point of the ruby fuses the phosphorescence becomes very powerful; but as the atoms are projected with much greater speed from the surface of the drop, soon the glass gets hot and "tired," and now only the outer edge of the patch glows. In this manner an intensely phosphorescent, sharply defined line, I, corresponding to the outline of the drop, is produced, which spreads slowly over the globe as the drop gets larger. When the mass begins to boil, small bubbles and cavities are formed, which cause dark colored spots to sweep across the globe. The bulb may be turned downward without fear of the drop falling off, as the mass possesses considerable viscosity. I may mention here another feature of some interest, which I believe to have noted in the course of these experiments, though the observations do not amount to a certitude. It appeared that under the...
