Superconductors: IGC history, Fermilab, early MRIs
70-80s History of Intermagnetics General which pioneered the first high res MRI magnets, it also made the superconducting magnet coils for Fermilab (for the atom smasher). Carl Rosner led a team mostly from General Electric to develop Niobium-tin magnets. IGC spun off from GE. This is a piece from the Wizards of Schenectady Series featuring holocaust survivor and engineering wizard Carl Rosner. Philips later bought IGC. The original documentary is 40 minutes and is one of several long-form documentaries by Edison Tech Center.

Oscilloscope Cameras - Documenting Work
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.Год назад
The only way to record measurements used to be to photograph the wave forms during testing on the oscilloscope. In the 1950s instant film allowed for instant recording of results and engineers used film every day in their work. A film camera was mounted facing the screen. One could run more than one scan on one photo, showing multiple lines on the photo, to show and measure contrast between dif...

Oscilloscope VS Television - the CRT
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.2 года назад
Why is a TV able to have a wide screen while oscilloscopes continued to have narrow screens? This explains the cathode ray tube (CRT) and time measurement that keeps it working. The picture size is smaller on an oscilloscope as it uses an electrostatic system and this is good for accuracy in measurement. Scan rates, linearity and other factors are differences. Early televisions used a optical l...
How CRTs in Oscilloscopes Work
Просмотров 10 тыс.2 года назад
1940s Oscilloscope used to display the basics of how they work. Narrated by electrical engineer Bill Kornrumpf at the Edison Tech Center. To measure time and energy engineers needed to develop a new "meter". Needle meters used in the past were unable to show wave forms. For the age of radio and TV to start we needed more precise measurements. Part of the "Time" unit in the Universe of Instrumen...

    PS: Nikola Tesla (a freak 😊), ...he studied a lot and liked to study - an excellent theoretician, our man - a Slav 😊. Unfortunately, nothing, nothing!!! specifically (apart from his - Tesla 😊 coil - more a toy than ... necessary use) commercial usable HE DID NOT INVENT !!! 😊. Too bad 😊. He could rather devote himself to the radio, and not to the unrealistic transmission of energy through the ether 😊. All other things are rather partially his phantasmagoria and mainly the invention of journalists 😊. Journalists, especially in America (USA), like to bend the truth according to what and when it suits them 😊. They only recognized the patent for the radio after his death 😊, they didn't want to pay anyone, not even Markoni. ...

    I didnt even know the history of electric cars. Thats amazing that we had electric cars 120 years ago. I just found this history out listening to someone on the radio. And I said did I hear this person correctly? They had electric cars back then? And they certainly did. And the same problem exists today as to why the electric cars are not practical. Not enough charging stations and the cars cant be used for long distances!!!

    Erratum: The armature is that winding of an electrical machine in which alternating current flows. At 0:15, the rotor is erroneously captioned as the "armature" of a separately-excited, rotating-field synchronous machine. The stator windings are in fact the armature on that machine (AC), whereas the rotor windings comprise the field (DC). It is a rotating-field machine, not a rotating-armature machine.
