If you saw the 2017 movie The Current War, about the AC/DC current war between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison, you may have wondered, who is this Samuel Insull? (Other than the fact that he is the character played by actor Tom Holland.) Tesla and Edison may be household names, but the energy industry [...]

Michael Faraday & Joseph HenryNo one scientist invented the electrical transformer core. Like most inventions, the transformer core has evolved over time through a series of discoveries by scientists all over the world. Joseph Henry and Michael Faraday are considered the founding fathers of the electrical industry and electrical technology. Electric motors, generators, transformers, radio, [...]

Most people think of Thomas Edison as the man who invented the lightbulb (actually, he didn’t invent the first lightbulb, he invented the technology that helped bring it to the masses). Some people know that Edison’s inventions helped to build America's economy during the Industrial Revolution. Fewer people know that Thomas Edison’s inventions and legacy [...]

What Is Energy? The term energy comes from the Greek word energeia. This originated with Aristotle, and it has no direct translation in the English language, although it is frequently described as “being at work.” By the mid-17th century, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, a prominent mathematician and natural philosopher of the Enlightenment era, developed the [...]

The Lifecycle of a Transformer Core A transformer is an electrical device designed to convert alternating current from one voltage to another. It can be designed to increase or decrease voltages. The most commonly known example of electrical transformer usage is to convert the energy created at the power plant to a useable voltage [...]
