Federal Trade Commission begins investigation of holding companies. Federal Power Act. Securities and Exchange Commission. Bonneville Power Administration.
First night baseball game in major leagues Reds vs. Phillies was played in Ohio on May 24th. Boulder Hoover Dam was completed. A Kilovolt power line stretched miles to Boulder Hoover Dam. It was not just a scientific instrument—it could do heavy work, such as lifting hundreds of pounds of metal.
With his demonstration, Henry really began to transform electricity into something that people could use every day. Those interested in using electricity also found new ways to produce electric current. Inventors tried to improve the basic idea of electromagnetic induction and used magnets to create a flow of current in wires.
One of the first to invent such a machine was Frenchman Hippolyte Pixii in It flowed first in one direction and then in the opposite direction. The Nollet generator was the first to be produced in large numbers by a manufacturing firm. They were used in electroplating , the first industrial operation to employ electricity. The Electrical Age was truly under way. Along with the generator came much more powerful ways to put electricity to work.
A key technology was the electric motor. By the inventors had already harnessed the power of steam to run locomotives and factory machines. US , in New York City. He bought a number of patents related to electric lighting and began experiments to develop a practical, long-lasting light bulb. By his bulbs could be used for hours. Electric lights Brush arc lamps were first used for public street lighting in Cleveland, Ohio. California Electric Light Company, Inc. The company used two small Brush generators to power 21 Brush arc light lamps.
Siemens Thomas Edison U. The Pearl Street Station was one of the world's first central electric power plants and could power 5, lights. The Pearl Street Station was a direct current DC power system, unlike the power systems that we use today which use alternating current AC.
The first hydroelectric station opened in Wisconsin. Edward Johnson first put electric lights on a Christmas tree. Byzantine hand grenades with Greek fire in the 10th to 12th centuries are on display in the National Museum at Athens.
The use of Greek fire, or rather variants thereof, spread to Muslim armies in the Near East, from where it reached China by the 10th century. SciFi short story subject: In the not too distant future our sciences find a way to peer back into time. Soon after we conquer time travel itself. The first traveler was accidentally transported into the ancient past, one Artie Mendez, a well known genius physicist working on the time travel project.
He accidentally transported himself into far past by walking into two convergent monopole beams which had been less than accurately aligned by the ultra high frequency radio energy that was supposed to hold them in place. Several days later he gets spotted by a passing caravan and kidnapped for ransom… His captors can not pronounce his name and simply call him Archemedes….
