Klappentext A classic 1880s guide to the many types of dynamo used to generate electricity! and the theory underlying their function. Zusammenfassung The influential physicist and electrical engineer Silvanus P. Thompson (1851–1916), in this updated third edition (1888) of his classic 1884 book, explains how dynamos produce energy. He gives detailed explanations and illustrations of the many varieties of dynamo that can be used in the production of electricity. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Introductory. Historical notes.
