The relationship between Britain & the US has always been a close one. Lượt thích all close relationships it has had difficult times. The US was first a British colony, but between 1775 and 1783 the US fought a war to lớn bedulichsenviet.come independent. The US fought the British again in the War of 1812.

In general, however, the two countries have felt closer to each other than khổng lồ any other country, & their foreign policies have shown this. During World War I và World War II, Britain và the US supported each other. When the US looks for foreign support, Britain is usually the first country lớn dulichsenviet.come forward và it is sometimes called “the 51st state of the union”.

But the special relationship that developed after 1945 is not explained only by shared political interests. An important reason for the friendship is that the people of the two countries are very similar. They share the same language & enjoy each other"s literature, films and television. Many Americans have British ancestors, or relatives still living in Britain. The US government và political system is based on Britain"s, & there are many Anglo-American businesses operating on both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain some people are worried about the extent of US influence, và there is some jealousy of its current power. The special relationship was strong in the early 1980s when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister in Britain & Ronald Reagan was President of the US.

Who invented the very first generator? How did they develop lớn bedulichsenviet.come the powerhouses they are today? Here, we reveal the bright sparks (sorry…) who gave us the generator we so rely on today.

Depending on how far back you want to go, the generator as we know it today evolved from the work of Michael Faraday & Joseph Henry in the 1830s. These two inventors discovered & documented the phenomena of electromagnetic induction, now known as “Faraday’s law”. Without being too technical, the principle states that an electromotive force is generated in an electrical conductor, which encircles a varying magnetic flux. Based on this. Faraday also built the first electromagnetic generator – the Faraday disk.

Word of Faraday’s law spread & in 1832, Frenchman Hippolyte Pixii built the first dynamo generator. His model created pulses of electricity separated by no current. By accident, he also created the first alternator. He didn’t know what to vị with the changing current, so he concentrated on trying to eliminate the alternating current lớn get DC power.

While the dynamo was the first electrical generator capable of delivering power nguồn for industry, for the next 30 years, the battery continued lớn be the most powerful way lớn supply electricity. Và even the battery was having problems. A battery-powered electric train from Washington DC to Baltimore failed, proving a gross embarrassment khổng lồ the new field of electricity. After millions of dollars wasted, good old-fashioned steam still proved to be a better power nguồn source. Engineers still had long way to lớn go to make electricity seem reliable and viable.

Enter Antonio Pacinotti. In 1860, Pacinotti created a dynamo that provided continuous DC nguồn for the first time. A few years later, Werner Von Siemens & Charles Wheatstone created a more powerful & useful dynamo using a self-powered electromagnet instead of the weak permanent magnet.

Things were looking brighter for electricity, & in 1871 a turning point was reached. Zenobe Gramme filled the magnetic field with an iron core, which made a better path for magnetic flux. This increased the power nguồn of the dynamo khổng lồ the point were it was usable for many dulichsenviet.commercial applications. Gramme’s invention sparked an explosion of new designs in dynamos, yet only a few stood out as being superior in efficiency. The most reliable and efficient dynamo design was credited khổng lồ American Charles F. Brush in 1876. His invention was sold through the Telegraph Supply dulichsenviet.company.

By the end of the 1870s, the Ganz dulichsenviet.company began to use AC generators in small dulichsenviet.commercial installations in Budapest & by 1880, Charles F. Brush had over 5000 arc lights in operation, representing 80 per cent of all lamps worldwide. With that, the economic power nguồn of electrical age had arrived.

However, with DC dynamos reigning supreme in the lucrative American market, people were sceptical to lớn invest in AC generators. The systems for control & distribution of AC power nguồn needed lớn be vastly improved before it could dulichsenviet.compete with DC on a market.

By the end of the century, the US, Germany, Italy và others had developed AC systems with better control and powerful electric motors that finally allowed AC to dulichsenviet.compete. This was made official at the International Electro
Technical Exhibition in Frankfurt in 1891, where three-phase AC power proved to lớn be the best system for power nguồn generation and distribution. The dulichsenviet.commercial interest & financial backing available helped improve generator design, with Westinghouse, Siemens, Oerlikon, và General Electric leading the charge.
