“The device appeared to violate the conclusion that any conductor at rest with respect to Earth’s surface cannot generate power from its magnetic field,” Princeton’s Christopher Chyba added in a press ...

For nearly two centuries, scientists have wondered if Earth’s rotation through its magnetic field could produce electricity. The idea was first tested by Michael Faraday in 1832, but his experiments ...

Unipolar induction is a specific form of induction that has caused much confusion among researchers and has been heavily debated in the literature, to the point that it has been deemed by some as ...

Although new electric motor types are still being invented, the basic principle of an electric motor has changed little in the past century-and-a-half: a stator and a rotor built of magnetic materials ...

AT the opening of the period covered by this the fifth volume of Faraday's Diary? Faraday was fifty-five years of age, and signs of that failure of memory which clouded his later years were increasing ...
