Nearly 200 years ago, a scientist named Michael Faraday tried experimenting to see whether Earth's magnetic field could help ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new research has presented experimental evidence confirming a previously theorized ...

Physicists at NASA and Princeton generate electricity from the Earth's rotation: could wind energy be our energy source of ...

Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

Researchers have for the first time managed to use electricity to switch on magnetism in a material that’s normally non-magnetic. This could be a step towards making electronic components out of ...

The Electricity Collections at the National Museum of American History document, preserve and present the history of electrical science and technologies. The Smithsonian established the Electricity ...

Over the millennia, the phenomenon known as electricity has meant different things to different people. In ancient societies, electricity—or more specifically lightning—was inspiration for some of the ...

THE best method of training electrical engineers will probably remain a subject of discussion so long as the profession continues to be a profitable one. Whether recourse should be had to the factory ...

THE author states in his preface that this book is intended for students of physics who have placed the higher school certificate examination behind them and are proceeding to university scholarships ...
