A carburetor, such as is used on a gasoline engine, is
an appliance for vaporizing liquid hydrocarbons by atomizing
the liquid and mixing it with air.
This mixture of gasoline vapor and air is drawn into
the cylinder of'a gasoline engine, compressed and exploded
by means of an electric spark;...
"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
The designing of electrical machinery is fully
as essential to the thorough understanding of power
equipment and apparatus, as is the taking of a laboratory
testing course. One learns the relationship
of the different parts, the methods of computing
their dimensions, and the predetermination of outputs,
efficiencies, etc. and thus...
The marked movement of utilizing Oregon's water power
in the service of generating electric current, has been promoted
by the economics in transmission of electricity to distances
both great and small; by the harnessing of industrial
implements to electric power; and by the advancement and extension
of interurban railways.
It...
"Before a company which manufactures electrical
machines allow them to leave the factory, each must
undergo certain tests to make sure that there are no
faults of design or workmanship and also ofttimes that they meet the specifications of the buyer. Four important
tests are made, e.g. (1) no load...
During the last five years the demand for electrical
energy in the state of Oregon,and throughout the entire
country,has increased to such an extent that electrical
generating stations have become an important factor in the
economic development of the common wealth.
Uonsidering the great need for cheap power, which
is...
Samples of insulating materials used in the construction
of electrical machinery and apparatus are
tested for dielectric strength before such are accepted
for use. This is done by applying to the sample a
high voltage until it is pierced through by the electric
spark. This is a parallel case to...
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...
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 object of this work was to determine, as far as
possible, the germinating ability of pollen of different
varieties of fruit. The work was started with the idea
of making these determinations for both apples and pears but owing to lack of time and probably because the proper culture...
On account of the abundance of the antique tussock
moth, and the ease with which material for study can be
secured in the vicinity of Corvallis, an investigation
of this insect was thought to be a fitting subject for
my graduation thesis. The work was begun in the spring
of...
