What opened the worlds first electric power plant?
Edison
When did Nikola Tesla discover ac?
Tesla invented the alternating-current generator that provides your light and electricity, the transformer through which it is sent, and even the high voltage coil of your picture tube. The Tesla Coil, in fact, is used in radios, television sets, and a wide range of other electronic equipment - invented in 1891, no-one's ever come up with anything better.
How does wind energy interact with electrical energy?
There are two methods, one is by syncing the speed of the motor. The second method is to convert all energy to DC from the tower then run that power through an inverter. The third alternative is to bypass the grid altogether, which seriously increases the usefulness of the system. Smaller wind systems that feed single homes or businesses are the most efficient use of wind turbines. Bypassing the grid altogether eliminates the worlds largest single consumer of power, the grid itself.
What is the largest hydroelectric project?
Hoover Dam is the largest hydro electric dam in the world. This Is Totally Wrong. The Largest Hydro-Electric Dam In North America Is The Mighty Grand Coulee Dam In The State Of Washington Which Produces 3 Times The Megawatts As Hoover Dam. Grand Coulee Produces 6,809 megawatts And Hoover Dam Only 2,078 megawatts. The Mighty Grand Coulee Contains Nearly 12 Million Cubic Yars Of Concrete And Hoover Only 3,250,000 Cubic Yards. Grand Coulee Dam Contains In It's Third Powerhouse 3 Of The Worlds Largest Generators At 805 Megawatts Each. The Mighty Columbia River Flows 3 Times The Water As Does The Colorado. These Two Dams Are Not Even Close In Comparison.
Why was Quadruplex the only broadcast video tape standard for 30 years?
Quadruplex was invented by the Ampex Cooperation of San Carlos California as the worlds first marketable and proven reliable broadcast video tape their were other formats such as the British Vera system but none were proven ready for public use. one of the main contributors to the design of Quadruplex video tape was Ampex engineer Fred Pfost. the challenge faced by the design team was the length of the recording time and the tape speed. on the British Vera the tape speed ran at 200 inches per second and used a stationary audio and video head for a maxim recording and play back time of 15 minutes. Quadruplex used a vertical spinning video head for the video turning at 14400 rpm and two stationary heads one large one for audio and another small one for the control track. the audio and control track were written on the top and bottom of the tape and the video signal was recorded in two separate tracks by the rotating head in the center of the tape. two tape speeds were attained and were also high quality speeds in the audio format as well 15 inches per second gave two hours of record time at high quality and 30 inches per second offered superior quality for one hours worth of recording Quadruplex used two inch tape and was one sided only meaning you didnt flip the reels and record a side two. when the machines were demoed to the network mainly ABC they were barley out of the prototype stage they were large and over engineered as time progressed and lots of Quadruplex tapes were produced the networks liked the big machine and its design so the prototype design was never changed Quadruplex was excepted and their were so many tapes made in the format the networks continued to use them well into the late 60`s and 90`s until replaced by 1 inch c which was inferior in many many ways except the editing capabilities. by looking at so many quads today with the head covers left off as most always were they look almost prototype in nature they were big and most required dry air for the air guides except I think the AVR - 1 and the RCA Quadruplex machines which was the only other company licensed by Ampex to build and manufacture the machines. I have been told their was a upgrade coming for HD TV in the early nineties it would be great to still be using quad today I would have loved to be a tape operator... !!!
