Also, Tesla was a germaphobe and said Edison “lived in disregard of elementary rules of hygiene.” Tesla founded the Tesla Electric Light Company and developed several successful patents. He sold most of his patents to an inventor named George Westinghouse, who had also had a feud with Edison. Westinghouse eventually helped Tesla to create a power plant in
I visited the Griffith Observatory on Sunday November 16, 2014. During my visit I was able to observe the Tesla Coil demonstration developed by the late Nikola Tesla. Mr. Tesla designed the coil to someday transport electricity by air wirelessly and free. The energy would come from the magnetic field and atmosphere producing high-voltage, low-current, and high frequency alternating-current electricity. He had some success in his research but investors found it impractical and refused to support further research.
Hendrix’s voice and guitar unite together to reel in his fans with his intense playing. The way Jimmie played completely changed the way the guitar was played. Many people say that his work is sloppy and unorganized. Many people say that there are much better players in the world. These people might be right but I can almost guarantee that there is probably no other artist that is as influential as Hendrix and that has changed music the way he has.
Oliver Lodge successfully demonstrated, in an experiment, in 1887 radio transmission of an electromagnetic wave from one location to another (Laidler, 1998, p.186). Hertz, however, is credited with furthering Maxwell’s theory by creating a continuous electrical wave, using wire and brass knobs as a receiver and an oscillator, which created electromagnetic waves (Rubin, 2009). Similarly, Samuel Morse, demonstrated Joseph Henry’s theories of the electric telegraph in 1835 by creating signals of pulsing current that could be sent via wire (The Hutchinson Encyclopedia of Science , 2004 p. 3191). These technological milestones helped lead to the development of radio. Gregory Benford explains how, Marconi’s interest in developing the radio was sparked somewhat by accident, in his article Scientist Heroes: Fantasy & Science.
Can someone possess knowledge? Knowledge is vast and never ending, people may know a part of knowledge, but do they possess it? And if they invented it do they carry the responsibility for its misuse. The Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel for the purpose of helping in mining as the workers found it hard to break down the hard stones by hand. Alfred Nobel owns the credit for inventing the dynamite, but he doesn’t carry an ethical responsibility for what the dynamite is being used for now a days.
His father Herman Einstein was an Engineer while his mother was called Pauline Einstein. His father and uncle owned a company which produces electrical equipments which were based on dc (direct current). Albert studied his primary and secondary at Germany and also obtained teaching training in Switzerland. He obtained a PhD at a young age of 26 and was a professor at age 30. Einstein had some difficulty finding a job but he later found a job to work as a patent Clerk, He later Lectured at many Universities.
Pascal decided to learn about geometry, a topic he had only heard of but never studied, in his spare time. By age thirteen, he had proven the 32nd proposition of Euclid and discovered an error in Rene Descartes geometry. His father put Pascal’s knowledge in mathematics towards hand totaling long columns of numbers to his job. Pascal later went on the create the pascaline, a device fourteen by five by three inches that could do calculations, which can now be considered the first mechanical calculator. In 1650, Pascal suddenly decided to avidly study religion, but returned to his previous lifestyle three years later, conducting experiments on the pressure exerted by gases and liquids, inventing the arithmetical triangle, and created the calculus of probabilities together with Fermat.
Institute in 1863. He became professor of general chemistry at the University of Saint Petersburg in 1866. Mendeleev was a renowned teacher, and, because no good textbook in chemistry was available, he wrote the two-volume Principles of Chemistry which became a classic. During the writing of his book, Mendeleev tried to organize the elements according to their chemical properties and atomic mass. In 1869 he published his first of what became known as the periodic table, a table created to arrange the elements by their atomic number.
It was not until many years later in 1947, AT&T’s research arm, Bell Labs, introduced the idea of cellular communications (Web Corp.). Then in 1954, researchers with communications giant, Motorola, began work developing portable communication products. In 1967, one of those researchers, Martin Cooper, invented the portable handheld police radios used by the Chicago police department (Web Corp.). In “Biography: Martin Cooper,” George Leard writes that Cooper was born in Chicago, IL on December 26, 1928, and earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology. Thanks to Cooper’s invention, Motorola and Bell Labs were now in a race to incorporate the new technology into portable devices (Web Corp.).
His greatest passion was his work, but he was also an avid sailor and skillful violinist. Einstein’s contributions to science and physics brought him great joy as well as fame and notoriety, but alienated him from his family in the process. Born on March 14, 1879 to a simple Jewish family in Ulm, Germany, Einstein initially had an
