The man was Nikola Tesla, inventor of the alternating current (AC) motor. Tesla took the risk to demonstrate the safety of AC. For the past several years, the Edison Electric Light Company had ...

The quasi-isotropic conductor stacked by the second generation (2G) high temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes is a promising choice for current transmission with low AC losses. In this paper, AC ...

The Burson Conductor GT4 is a $3K audio sledgehammer—insanely powerful, deadly neutral, and hot enough to fry eggs.

Transmission line of high voltage direct current (HVDC) is different from that of high voltage alternating current (HVAC). It produces ion flow and space charge in the air. Space charges enlarge ...

Controlling weeds in arable crops using electricity is a step closer with the first commercial tractor-mounted units destined ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an environmentally safer type of plastic that can be used for ...

High heat days and nights can create problems in the power grid, with the increased load from air conditioners potentially causing electric lines to sag. When temperatures increase, the metal in power ...

To build a modern-day electrical grid with the flexibility and resilience to handle ebbing and flowing energy sources like ...

A research team led by Dr. Shen Jinhua from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

Because of overwhelming demands for power from unconstrained data center development across Northern Virginia, PJM (our ...
