About This Book

A compiled record presents the inventor's experimental reports, lectures, and technical descriptions, tracing development of polyphase alternating-current systems and the rotating magnetic field, designs for motors and transformers, and methods of speed and phase control. It documents experiments with high-potential, high-frequency currents and their application to novel illumination, electrostatic induction, vacuum-tube discharges, and oscillators, and collects miscellaneous improvements in dynamo, lighting, and measuring apparatus. The material combines theoretical discussion, practical apparatus descriptions, and organized chapters grouping related inventions and demonstrations.
