The connections ran to heavy insulated junction boxes at the ends of two lines of stiff black stage cable. Near the door the circuits were joined and a single lead of the big duplex cord ran out along the polished hardwood floor, carried presumably to the house circuit at a fuse box where sufficient amperage was available. Kennedy's eyes followed out the wires quickly.
It's a creature they discovered in the wild state and it's very rare. The wild ones have died out, and only their domesticated herds exist." "O.K., we're lucky," I said. "It better be good or we'll step up the amperage and burn their batteries for them." "Here's more," Mannion said. "They say it will take a few hours to prepare the cargo. They want us to be amused."
It went out at a frequency of about 1,000 kilocycles, had an amperage of approximately zero, but a voltage of two billion. The "pullee" came in at about a half-billion volts, but in very heavy amperage, proportional to the capacity of the receiver, and on a long wave at audio frequency in fact. About half of this power reception ultimately actuated the repeller ray generators.
The dynamo is started, and a current of high amperage and low voltage is generated, generally 100 to 125 amperes, and with sufficient pressure to decompose the electrolyte between the anode and the cathode.
I've got the motor all finished; and all I'll have to do will be to connect it up, and then I'll be ready for a trial on the road." "And you still think you'll beat all records?" "I'm pretty sure of it, Dad. You see the amperage will be exceptionally high, and my batteries will have a large amount of reserve, with little internal resistance. But do you know I'm so tired I can hardly think.
