The History of Power Generation

[@PacoOtis]

From here in the States we thank you for sharing this excellent informative video! Best of luck!

[@screwdriver5181]

I have a Gramme motor / generator . There is an identical machine in the Berlin Science museum. It appears that they were built as demonstrators to take to customers. I suspect that it must date from 1870 but have no information about it.

Excellent video

[@andimannzipfelohr2979]

Good, nice historical pictures.

[@jenko701]

Great video .

[@FreemonSandlewould]

Very good.

[@timothygunckel7162]

The power plant I started at in 79 had gone through many phases of operation throughout it's 90 yrs. Of operation, started with combustion engines running DC generators to vertical steam turbines finally horizontal steam turbines pushing AC generators

excellent video

I'm glad you mentioned Godalming as it' my hometown

[@jarrowmarrow]

Thanks, very cool history

Such Smart People 👌 😊

[@michaelchownyk5255]

How could you mentioned Westinghouse and not Tesla?

[@Rafaeljotiar]

50 Hz or 60 Hz the rpm is depending of quantity of poles .3000/3600 . 1500/1800 750/900

[@melgross]

I don’t understand what you’re saying here. Rotational speed depends on the frequency and number of poles.

Electricity is one of man's greatest conveniences and improvements to society and technology. Remove it and watch the world quickly collapse. Like most technologies, it began slowly at first and then rapidly developed when it became commercially feasible and profitable. My Dad was a manager of a rural electrical cooperative for 40 years. The coop brought electricity to farms and other rural customers after WWII. My dad said his greatest joy was watching the farm housewife turn on the electrical light for the first time. It was a life-changing moment for that family and farmer.

[@KR72534]

Must’ve been a great feeling. I wish I had experienced it. People try to feel good by taking drugs or drinking alcohol. The good feeling your father got was sublime and noble.

[@kenfrievalt7826]

No mention of the Flux capacitor that makes time travel possible

[@jpwillm5252]

Very interesting. You could have mentioned Nicolas Tesla... *** Très intéressant. Vous auriez pu mentionner Nicolas Tesla...

[@uploadJ]

The autobiography of Benjamin G. Lamme includes some mention of Nikola Tesla, but, Tesla did not play that big a part in tech at the time ... one can find the autobiography online for reading.

[@jpwillm5252]

@@uploadJ Edison publicly electrocuted animals using alternating current. This was to discredit Westinghouse's (Tesla) AC solution. The case was well known at the time and easily verifiable on the Internet.

370 Hell, why not? Sub. It was a good watch and listen. Very informative and helped me understand magnetic coupling better. Thanks.

When Faraday dropped a lodestone through a coil and current detected one lady stood up to ask Faraday what is the use of all these Michael Faraday picked up one baby and he asked Madam Could you please tell me What will be the use of this new born baby

[@MrRobertjparsons]

A magnificent metaphor.

[@Rafaeljotiar]

Where is Nikola Tesla name ?

[@VanishedPNW]

He did a lot, but many more did just as much. Sometimes it's nice to hear whose work he stood on the shoulders of, too.

[@Hipyon]

No mention of Tesla shame on this man

[@okaro6595]

Tesla invented the AC motor (in fact Tesla, Galileo Ferraris and Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky all invented one). He did not invent the generator.

[@Hipyon]

@ but he engineered the first water turbines and AC transmission Of electricity to New York City

[@okaro6595]

@@Hipyon I think that would be Benjamin Lamme. Tesla was a visionary who had ideas. Lamme was practical engineer who made the ideas work. He made the Tesla's motor to work.

[@mini454]

We must remember the great scientist Nikolai Tesla in our hearts forever 🎉❤.

[@okaro6595]

Tesla was not a scientist. He was an engineer.

[@88njtrigg88]

Tesla stands on the shoulders of many great giants.

[@IanBrodie-bg1lu]

Without whom George Westinghouse would not have the advantage over Edison, his 3 phase motors /alternators where a game changer!

[@AndrewLohmannKent]

One of my grandmothers brothers worked at power station in the early 20th Century, I guess until about 1940? A kitten was electrocuted and never grow any bigger than a kitten at this station in East Kent.

Very bad 😞😔 not a word about the King of AC..

[@Hipyon]

no validity in this video Tesla was not mentioned some of his greatest work Was mentioned

[@FyoutubemadridMadrid]

Tesla/Thomas Edison... They have not invented, they have improved what others had discovered.

[@melgross]

@@FyoutubemadridMadridno. They did invent. Others contributed to our understanding. But invention is the practical implementation of ideas into a usable product.

[@EnergyTRE]

Nikola Tesla was the first to accurately state all magnet fields move naturally.

[@peregrinemccauley5010]

Now here's a great invention, the school classroom, that teaches English.Ever see one?

[@EnergyTRE]

@peregrinemccauley5010 you mean government indoctrination? Einstein wasn't actually smart 🤣 that crossdressing, spy, thief, who married his cousin. 😂 Yeah go to public schools. You can learn more on your own in a library if you actually had a brain. Go be good little obedient materialist. The world will change around you and you'll never know Why. Till your told

I generated nuclear electricity!

What?

Too many ppl advance what was shown by Tesla but worked out by others in Eastern Europe, in non-English speaking countries, which Tesla had access to ...
