Tesla currents

The luminosity caused by the action of Tesla currents indicates that the ring of the respective substance exists in Dewar s condition the stronger the luminosity the more pronounced the latter must be. 

NMR instrumentation consists of three chief components a magnet, a spectrometer console, and a probe. While in the past much solid state NMR research was conducted on home-built equipment, the current trend is toward the acquisition of commercial systems. The magnets used for solid state NMR applications generally are superconducting solenoids with a cylindrical bore of 89-mm diameter. The most common field strengths available, 4.7, 7.0, 9.4, and 11.7 Tesla, correspond to proton resonance frequencies near 200, 300, 400, and 500 MHz, respectively. 

Tesla arrived in New York in 1884 and was hired by Edison. Edison understood Tesla s ability but remained unconvinced by his new employee s insistence on the use of alternating current for electrical power transmission. Nevertheless, Tesla accepted his assignment to work on improving Edison s direct-current method, which was then in use. Working long hours Tesla increased the system output and asked Edison for a 50,000 bonus, which Tesla understood he was to receive. Edison refused, claiming that the bonus had only been a joke. Tesla quit Edison s employ, and thereafter relations were strained between the two men. 

Tesla remains a fascinating man because of his personal life and his engineering genius. However, from a technical point of view Tesla is most remembered for his contributions to the use of alternating-current power transmission. 

Transformers were developed through a series of scientific discoveries in the nineteenth century. Most notably, Michael Faraday showed in 1831 that a variable magnetic field could be used to create a current, thus pioneering the concept of electromagnetic induction. It was not until the 1880s that Nikola Tesla was able to use this principle to bolster his patents for a universal ac distribution network. 

Italian-American physicist Nikola Tesla invents a motor that produces alternating current. This discovery changes the way electricity is transmitted over long distances. The first commercial, long-distance transmission of electricity takes place when a direct-current line provides power from Willamette Falls for street lights in Portland, Oregon. 

German physicists Julius Elster and Hans F. Geitel invent the first photoelectric cell as a result of studying the photoelectric effect. The first hydroelectric generator at Niagara Falls, New York, produces alternating current from a Nikola Tesla design. 

X-ray Absorption Spectra (XAS). X-ray absorption measurements were performed at station 9.2 of the SRS at Daresbury (UK) with an electron beam energy of 2 GeV and a stored current varying between 290 and 160 mA. The wiggler was operational at 5.0 Tesla. Data were collected in the transmission mode from 11.37 keV to 13.43 keV (Pt Li -edge 11.564 keV, Pt Vedge 13.273 keV) with a Si (220) monochromator detuned to 50 % of the maximum intensity...

Figure 12a Critical current of a Y-Ba-Cu-O film measured using 10 /xV criterion as a function of temperature in magnetic fields of (from the right) 0.1, 5, 10, and 14 Tesla. The normal state region (I), fully superconducting state (III) and low resistance ohmic state (II) are indicated. The inset shows I-V characteristics of these three regions (III) region has been expanded by a factor 2000. Ref. 37.
