Early History of Electric Power Date Event Pictures 1800-1819 Early electric experiments were performed with DC. In 1800‚ Alessandro Volta published a description of a silver/zinc battery‚ acknowledging that he did not know how it worked. In 1807‚ Humphry Davy constructed a practical battery (the picture will be immediately familiar to anyone who works with UPS systems)‚ and demonstrated both incandescent and arc light. • Volta’s famous bi-metalic frog twitch (I did this one myself as a boy..

Windmill Electricity | | Mankind been harnessing the wind’s energy for many years. From Holland to traditional farms around the world‚ windmills were used in the past for pumping water through primative irrigation systems or used to grind grain. Then‚ the wind turned large "sails" which were connected by a long vertical shaft that was attached to a grindnig machine or to a wheel that turned and drew water from a well. Today’s turbines - can utilize the energy of the wind to turn large metal

What is Electricity? Electricity is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. As a matter of fact‚ it can even kill you. The most vital part of electricity is called electric energy. This is what we commonly think of when we hear the word electricity. “Electricity” reminds us of anything that we plug into an electrical outlet in order to make it work‚ such as lights‚ refrigerators‚ video games‚ microwaves‚ and computers. Scientists discovered ways to produce electric energy in large amounts

Electricity generation is the process of creating electricity from other forms of energy. The fundamental principles of electricity generation were discovered during the 1820s and early 1830s by the British scientist Michael Faraday. His basic method is still used today: electricity is generated by the movement of a loop of wire‚ or disc of copper between the poles of a magnet.[1] For electric utilities‚ it is the first process in the delivery of electricity to consumers. The other processes
