Surely, this time something would start, but Buck had two worries. If all the enormous amount of energy they had poured in there decided to release itself at once And at any rate, Buck saw they'd never dare to let a generator stop, once it was started!
Science is the constant and vigilant generator of all social improvement, and the most formidable enemy of the tyranny of a despot, of an oligarchy, or of the multitude, whether it take a religious or secular form. Since sharp instruments are powerful aids to civilization and material prosperity, they are not to be altogether set aside because some persons die miserably by them.
As Christ is the blossom of humanity, so the blossom of every man is the Christ perfected in him. The vital force of humanity working in him is Christ; he is his root the generator and perfecter of his individuality. The stronger the pure will of the man to be true; the freer and more active his choice; the more definite his individuality, ever the more is the man and all that is his, Christ's.
Then came the crack of the sparks, and the room seemed filled with the glare of the blue lightning, for Atterbury, with his telephones at his ears, staring through his yellow glasses, was sending out the call for the Naval Observatory. Over and over again he sent the call, while in the meantime the condenser built up its charge from the overflow of current from the turbine generator.
There was a gasoline motor in one corner, geared to a generator or what appeared to be one from which feed wires led to a square metal box on the table. Attached to this metal box was a sort of horn-shaped mouthpiece something like the transmitter of a telephone. Hanging from its side was what looked like an enlarged telephone receiver. Jack regarded his father questioningly.
From one side of the generator, ran two objects that were familiar, copper bus bars. But even these were three feet thick! The scores of quartz tubes that come down from the floor above joined, coalesced, and ran down to the great generator, and into it. They descended to another level.
The principle of its action is the decomposing of combined chemicals by the action of a current applied from a stationary generator or dynamo, and that these chemicals again unite as soon as they are allowed to do so by the completing of a circuit, and in re-combining give off nearly as much electricity as was first used in separating them.
The gas generator had ceased working and the craft was settling toward the ocean, there being nothing to keep it aloft. Frantically the professor and Washington worked at the apparatus. It could not be adjusted. Despair was on every face. Faster and faster sunk the Monarch. "Will we sink?" asked Andy. "I can't swim." "We may float," said the professor. "The bottom part of the ship is water tight.
There, then, were two of the components that Ishie had built into his device. A strong magnetic field supplied by the magnaswedge coils stolen magnaswedge coils if you please and a rotating RF field supplied by the generator below the chassis. But this third effect? The DC electric field? That one was new to him.
An Experimental Continuous Wave Telegraph Transmitter. Now while this extra tube is used as a generator of oscillations these are, of course, very weak and hence a detector tube cannot be used to generate oscillations that are useful for other purposes than heterodyne receptors and measurements.
