Induction Coils, How to Make, Use, and Repair Them

Induction Coils, How to Make, Use, and Repair Them. - Including Ruhmkorff, Tesla, and Medical Coils, Roentgen Radiography, Etc. Etc.

The great favor with which the first edition of this little work has been received and the steadily growing interest in its subject, together with many valuable improvements and researches, may be given as the reasons for this new edition. The book has been thoroughly revised, partly rewritten, and considerable new matter, with twenty-six new illustrations, added. It has been brought up to date as far as electrical science has gone. To detail all that has been done is too great a task for a preface; we may briefly mention the following new matter: Coils for gas and automobile engines; medical coils, concise directions for operation and repairs; new forms of contact breakers, including electrolytic and mechaniivcal; gas-lighting apparatus; primary and secondary batteries. The chapter on X-Ray Apparatus has been entirely rewritten, and is thoroughly practical; and an entire chapter on Wireless Telegraphy has been added. In a book of this size it is not feasible to give specific directions and full dimensions for the manufacture of all the apparatus described. Indeed, much of the latter must be adapted to the particular purpose for which it is to be utilized. Again, the same amount of material will not always produce the same results. A little closer winding, greater pressure applied to the cooling wax of a condenser, and the output or capacity of either is changed. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
