A brief description of how House Construction works; from the base to the electrical insulation. This site is part of Marshall Brain's HowStuffWorks.com
A thorough and passionate clarification of the many misconceptions in electrical study which arise at school. Ideal for non-specialist staff who are not too sure what "electricity" actually is.
Charles Thomson Rees Wilson (1869 - 1959) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1917 for his discovery of the expansion method of rendering visible the tracks of electrically charged particles.
Wilhelm Rontgen (1845 - 1913) first work was on the specific heats of gases and the thermal conductivity of crystals. Among other problems he studied were the electrical characteristics of quartz; the influence of pressure on the refractive indices of var
Michael Faraday's (1791-1867) scientific work laid the foundations of all subsequent electrical technology. From his experiments came devices which led directly to the modern electric motor, generator and transformer. Faraday was also the greatest scienti
William Gilbert (1544-1603) work in 1600 was the standard work throughout Europe on electrical and magnetic phenomena. He made the first clear distinction between magnetic and the amber effect (static electricity, as we call it) and tested many folk tale
Gustav Robert Kirchhoff (1814 - 1887) was a physicist who made important contributions to the theory of electrical circuits. Kirchhoff's laws, announced in 1854, allow calculation of currents, voltages and resistances of electrical circuits extending the
ATMOS - The breathtaking clock that lives on air! The Atmos is the ultimate environmentally friendly device, there are no batteries to throw away, no electrical consumption of any kind to consider. But this is no quartz clock, the Atmos is a precision dev
