While working and waiting and saving, Morse conceived the idea of laying telegraph wires beneath the water. keywords: american; apparatus; bell; cable; carty; communication; company; current; day; distance; experiments; field; great; idea; invention; line; little; man; marconi; means; messages; miles; morse; new; professor; receiving; sending; set; ship; signals; sound; station; success; system; telegraph; telegraph line; telephone; time; use; vail; waves; wheatstone; wireless; wires; work; years; york cache: 12375.txt plain text: 12375.txt item: #2 of 8 id: 13476 author: Tesla, Nikola title: Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency A Lecture Delivered before the Institution of Electrical Engineers, London date: None words: 39519 flesch: 58 summary: However, with incomparably higher frequencies, which we may yet find means to produce efficiently, and provided that electric impulses of such high frequencies could be transmitted through a conductor, the electrical characteristics of the brush discharge would completely vanish--no spark would pass, no shock would be felt--yet we would still have to deal with an _electric_ phenomenon, but in the broad, modern interpretation of the word. But on the whole I find it preferable when using such high frequencies to employ only one electrode and one connecting wire. keywords: air; body; bulb; case; coil; conducting; currents; discharge; electrode; energy; experiments; fig; frequencies; frequency; gas; glass; great; light; potential; primary; time; tube; wire cache: 13476.txt plain text: 13476.txt item: #3 of 8 id: 26778 author: Goldfrap, John Henry title: The Ocean Wireless Boys and the Naval Code date: None words: 47001 flesch: 90 summary: But at last Jack, by dint of feeling softly along the walls, located it.

A. (John Ambrose), Sir title: Hertzian Wave Wireless Telegraphy date: None words: 50128 flesch: 53 summary: The practical problem of electric wave wireless telegraphy, which has been variously called Hertzian wave telegraphy, Marconi telegraphy, or spark telegraphy (_Funkentelegraphie_), is that of the production of an effect called an electric wave or train of electric waves, which can be sent out from one place, controlled, detected at another place, and interpreted into an alphabetic code. Hence it appeared probable that a service would be rendered by an endeavour to present an account of the present condition of electric wave telegraphy in a manner acceptable to those unversed in the advanced technicalities of the subject, but acquainted at least with the elements of electrical science. keywords: aerial; air; arrangement; balls; break; capacity; circuit; coil; condenser; current; distance; earth; electric; end; energy; force; hertzian; inductance; induction; length; marconi; oscillations; place; potential; receiving; spark; strain; telegraphy; time; transformer; tube; vol; wave; wire cache: 38526.txt plain text: 38526.txt item: #5 of 8 id: 4227 author: Appleton, Victor title: Tom Swift and His Wireless Message; Or, The Castaways of Earthquake Island date: None words: 41857 flesch: 88 summary: Don't you hit me again, Tom Swift, or I'll punch you!
