He invented the first AC motor in 1885. After him, the German engineer Friedrich August Haselwander develops the first AC 3 phase synchronous generator in Europe which produced about 2.8 kW at 960 rev/min, corresponding to a frequency of 32 cycles per second, today known as Hertz, or Hz.
The three also invented the modern power distribution system: Instead of former series connection they connect transformers that supply the appliances in parallel to the main line. The first demonstrative long-distance (34 km, 21 mi) AC line was built for the 1884 International Exhibition of Turin, Italy.
[29] [30] By the fall of that year Ganz engineers installed a ZBD transformer power system with AC generators in Rome. [31] Westinghouse Early AC System 1887 (US patent 373035) Based on Stanley's success, the new Westinghouse Electric [32] went on to develop alternating current (AC) electric infrastructure throughout the United States.
The first electromagnetic generator, the Faraday disk, was invented in 1831 by British scientist Michael Faraday. Generators provide nearly all the power for electrical grids . In addition to electricity- and motion-based designs, photovoltaic and fuel cell powered generators use solar power and hydrogen-based fuels, respectively, to generate ...
The demonstration lighting system was driven by a hydroelectric generator that produced 500 volts AC, which was then stepped down to 100 volts to light incandescent bulbs in homes and businesses. That same year, Westinghouse founded the " Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company "; [ 18 ] in 1889 he renamed it the "Westinghouse Electric ...
"Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current ...
At the Turin Italian National Exhibition in 1884, he saw Gaulard and Gibbs's "secondary generator"' (i.e. AC transformer) system, and he decided to improve it. Including a closed-loop magnetic field, based on the findings of Faraday , he conducted experiments with Miksa Déri in the summer of 1884 at the Ganz factory.
U.S. patent 2,475,841 was issued on July 12, 1949 – Automatic refrigeration system for long-haul trucks. U.S. patent 2,475,842 was issued on July 12, 1949 – Starter generator. U.S. patent 2,475,843 was issued on July 12, 1949 – Means operated by a starter generator for cooling a gas engine.
