A. Background of study People are both individual and social creature. As a social creature, people need to interact with other people. Interaction cannot be separated from communication. Communication means sending message or idea from a human to the other human. In communicating, people need the media. People usually use sign, written letters, or spoken voice as media to communicate with others. As we know, communication means sending message from people to other people. It is clear enough that the purpose of the communication is to make the responder knows the message from the source correctly. People need a media to know what the other people mean. This media is called language. Language is the media on the communication field, whether it is sign language, written language or spoken language. Language convey people‟s message so the other people can see and understand that message. 1 2 Language which is used in society is so various. Every region has their language. One place to the other place has various ways in conveying the language. The variant of the language use that affected by social condition can be studied in sociolinguistic. One of topic discussed in sociolinguistic field is language variety. Language variety, based on the language use, it sub-classified into register and style. Style is language variation that caused by situational factors like setting, addressee, or topic. Someone will use formal language in certain situation and use informal language in other situation. That kind of language variety can be found in our daily life. We can also analyze style in a movie because movie is the reflection of people‟s life. Nowadays, movie has been produced in massive quantity by very big production house or even by independent people. A good movie is a movie which give attention in every single detail of its component. One of the components that should be considered is language. A good movie usually has a language that match with the setting, such as time, location, social condition etc, even when the movie is just fiction. A movie needs researches and observations before it is made.

    Technical White Paper North American Power Distribution Prepared By Brad Gaffney, P Eng. Newterra Ltd. 1291 California Avenue P.O. Box 1517 Brockville Ontario K6V 5Y6 www.newterra.com This document is intended for the identified parties and contains confidential and proprietary information. Unauthorized distribution, use, or taking action in reliance upon this information is prohibited. If you have received this document in error, please delete all copies and contact Newterra Ltd. Copyright 1992-2020 Newterra Ltd. Abstract The following is an overview of power generation, transmission, and distribution in North America. Electrical power is the lifeblood of our ever so gadget-filled, technological economy. For most, it’s just a flick of a switch or the push of a button; many end users don’t know or care about the complexities involved in the transportation of billions of kilowatts throughout the country. However, one man by the name of Nikola Tesla had a vision for the use of electrical power back in 1882 when he realized that alternating current was the key to efficient, reliable power distribution over long distances. One obstacle that had to be overcome was the invention of an alternating current AC motor. Tesla demonstrated his patented 1/5 horsepower two-phase motor at Colombia University on May 16, 1888. By 1895 in Niagara Falls, NY the world’s first commercial hydroelectric AC power plant was in full operation using Tesla’s motor. To this day almost every electric induction motor in use is based on Tesla’s original design. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to give the reader a basic understanding of the process involved in power generation, transmission/distribution, and common end-user configuration in North America.

Like The Young Man from Following or Robert Angier from The Prestige or Mal from Inception , Leonard has provided himself a comforting lie, and that lie has proven to be his downfall until he finally decides to pursue something that's true—Teddy is using him and so Teddy must be stopped. The cautionary tale in Memento is that Leonard Shelby, despite his unique condition, is universal in how he lies to himself. Nolan isn't opposed to the concept of a lie—he's a storyteller after all. But he's fascinated by how lies are implemented. For Nolan, lies are tools, and sometimes they can be used to benevolent purposes like a magic show in The Prestige or the mind heist in Inception. In Memento , Leonard finds a new lie—that Teddy is responsible for the rape and murder of Leonard's wife—but like all good art, it's a lie that tells the truth. Teddy may not be responsible for Leonard's condition, but his desire to use Leonard as a weapon makes him at least partially responsible for Leonard's predicament. Leonard lies to himself on a tapestry of good intentions; he tells himself he's not a killer.

  • Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter Principles of Working
    School of Electrical Engineering University of Belgrade Tesla's magnifying transmitter principles of working Dr Jovan Cvetić, full prof. School of Electrical Engineering Belgrade, Serbia [email protected] School of Electrical Engineering University of Belgrade Contens The development of the HF, HV generators with oscilatory (LC) circuits: I - Tesla transformer (two weakly coupled LC circuits, the energy of a single charge in the primary capacitor transforms in the energy stored in the capacitance of the secondary, used by Tesla before 1891). It generates the damped oscillations. Since the coils are treated as the lumped elements the condition that the length of the wire of the secondary coil = quarter the wave length has a small impact on the magnitude of the induced voltage on the secondary. Using this method the maximum secondary voltage reaches about 10 MV with the frequency smaller than 50 kHz. II – The transformer with an extra coil (Magnifying transformer, Colorado Springs, 1899/1900). The extra coil is treated as a wave guide. Therefore the condition that the length of the wire of the secondary coil = quarter the wave length (or a little less) is necessary for the correct functioning of the coil. The purpose of using the extra coil is the generation of continuous harmonic oscillations of the great magnitude (theoretically infinite if there are no losses). The energy of many single charges in the primary capacitor are synchronously transferred to the extra coil enlarging the magnitude of the oscillations of the stationary wave in the coil. The maximum voltage is limited only by the breakdown voltage of the insulation on the top of the extra coil and by its dimensions.

  • Wireless Power Transmission
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 5, Issue 10, October-2014 125 ISSN 2229-5518 Wireless Power Transmission Mystica Augustine Michael Duke Final year student, Mechanical Engineering, CEG, Anna university, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India [email protected] ABSTRACT- The technology for wireless power transfer (WPT) is a varied and a complex process. The demand for electricity is much higher than the amount being produced. Generally, the power generated is transmitted through wires. To reduce transmission and distribution losses, researchers have drifted towards wireless energy transmission. The present paper discusses about the history, evolution, types, research and advantages of wireless power transmission. There are separate methods proposed for shorter and longer distance power transmission; Inductive coupling, Resonant inductive coupling and air ionization for short distances; Microwave and Laser transmission for longer distances. The pioneer of the field, Tesla attempted to create a powerful, wireless electric transmitter more than a century ago which has now seen an exponential growth. This paper as a whole illuminates all the efficient methods proposed for transmitting power without wires. —————————— —————————— INTRODUCTION Wireless power transfer involves the transmission of power from a power source to an electrical load without connectors, across an air gap. The basis of a wireless power system involves essentially two coils – a transmitter and receiver coil. The transmitter coil is energized by alternating current to generate a magnetic field, which in turn induces a current in the receiver coil (Ref 1). The basics of wireless power transfer involves the inductive transmission of energy from a transmitter to a receiver via an oscillating magnetic field.

It was born out of the recognition that scientific discovery and the creation of plausible fictional scenarios are often two sides of the same coin. Each relies on an understanding of the way the world works, coupled with the imaginative ability to invent new or alternative explanations—and even other worlds. Authored by practicing scientists as well as writers of hard science fiction, these books explore and exploit the borderlands between accepted science and its fictional counterpart. Uncovering mutual influences, promoting fruitful interaction, narrating and analyzing fictional scenarios, together they serve as a reaction vessel for inspired new ideas in science, technology, and beyond. Whether fiction, fact, or forever undecidable: the Springer Series “Science and Fiction” intends to go where no one has gone before! Its largely non-technical books take several different approaches. Journey with their authors as they • Indulge in science speculation—describing intriguing, plausible yet unproven ideas; • Exploit science fiction for educational purposes and as a means of promoting critical thinking; • Explore the interplay of science and science fiction—throughout the history of the genre and looking ahead; • Delve into related topics including, but not limited to: science as a creative process, the limits of science, interplay of literature and knowledge; • Tell fictional short stories built around well-defined scientific ideas, with a supplement summarizing the science underlying the plot.

At present, most the WSNs are battery powered, but batteries must be changed frequently in this method. If the changes are not on time, the energy of sensors will be insufficient, leading to node faults or even networks interruptions. In order to solve the problem of poor power supply reliability in WSNs, a novel power supply method, the single-wire power transfer method, is utilized in this paper. This method uses only one wire to connect source and load. According to the characteristics of WSNs, a single-wire power transfer system for WSNs was designed. The characteristics of directivity and multi-loads were analyzed by simulations and experiments to verify the feasibility of this method. The results show that the total efficiency of the multi-load system can reach more than 70% and there is no directivity. Additionally, the efficiencies are higher than wireless power transfer (WPT) systems under the same conductions.

Il consiglio è dato dal fatto che questo testo è nato proprio dal mio libro precedente: avevo infatti chiesto ai miei lettori d’inviarmi consigli, correzioni, notizie, nuovi materiali, poiché mi sarebbe piaciuto proseguire a scrivere su Tesla, affinché tutti potessimo gustare questo personaggio da tutte le angolazioni, anche le più contraddittorie e, anche quelle più improbabili. Poiché ritenevo e ritengo che il millennio che noi viviamo sia e sarà sempre più permeato non solo dalle sue scoperte, ma anche dalle sue immaginazioni, previsioni e allucinazioni. I miei lettori hanno voluto soddisfare le mie richieste e numerose sono le e-mail che ho ricevuto, sia dall’Italia che dal resto del mondo, a ulteriore dimostrazione di quanto questo personaggio e le sue scoperte siano intriganti anche per meglio comprendere ipotesi fantascientifiche e ufologiche a lui connesse. Molte e-mail mi sono giunte dalla ex Jugoslavia, e questo era prevedibile, e alcune di queste sono state inviate da studenti universitari che stavano affrontando, o erano in procinto di affrontare, una tesi su Tesla.

  • Tesla's Polyphase System and Induction Motor
    SERBIAN JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Vol. 3, No. 2, November 2006, 121-130 Tesla’s Polyphase System and Induction Motor Petar Miljanić1 1 Introduction While new scientific knowledge is acquired by learning, observation, experiments and thinking, the inventions are mostly the fruit of the intuition of individuals and of their creative impulses. Inventors are people who use consciously or unconsciously the accumulated human knowledge and experi- ence, and find useful solutions for the humanity. Some of those inventions are epochal, like for instance the inventions of the steam and the internal combustion engine. These epochal inventions obviously include the Tesla’s system of poly- phase alternate currents and Tesla’s induction motor. It can be often heard that in some eras of civilization there appear needs and there ripen circumstances for the appearance of great inventions. The sequence of the human acquisition of knowledge of natural phenomena on which the function of the induction motor is based, and the sequence of experiments in the attempt to make the induction motor show that that opinion is not without basis. In the following lines, we will tell the story of the induction motor. That story will not be limited to Tesla’s key contribution only, but it will mention things that happened before and after Tesla’s patent applications by the end of 1887. 2 Discoveries The induction motor rotates thanks to the natural phenomenon which may be described by the following words: the moving magnetic field of one part of the motor, for instance the stator, induces currents in the conducting parts of another part of the motor, the rotor.
