In view of the fact that the college authorities have
purchased a set of wireless apparatus, it was thought best
to design and construct a transformer of suitable size for
transforming the power to be used by this set of instruments.
The power required for such a set is approximately...
"There are at present four common methods of con
verting the alternating current into direct current.
These are in order of use, the motor generator set,
the rotary converter, mercury vapor rectifier and the
Murphy rectifier. A short description of these and
connections for the last two will be given."--p.2
Much has been accomplished in the last few years
toward the conservation of natural resources, and in
this work the engineer has taken a leading part. The
prevention of unnecessary waste, the utilization of
hitherto useless by-products, and the economic production of the world's necessities are important features of this...
By reason of the fact that a thesis along the
line of one's course or about some subject with which he
is supposed to be familiar is required of every Senior
electrical by the electrical department before his graduation, the following description of the design and construction of a 10...
The induction motor in its electromagnetic features
is essentially a transformer, while in its general behavior
it is analogous to the continuous-current shunt wound
motor. In a transformer the primary and secondary members
are both stationary and electrical energy is transformed
from one pressure to another by the ratio of...
Throughout the year the regular design work of the
class room proved so profitable that it was thought that
there was no subject which could be selected for thesis
purposes of greater benefit,or which offered as great a
latitude in the working out of the various problems, than
the one...
