Awesome question. I work in the power industry and collect artifacts across the paradigms and have a 25hz motor but in poor condition.

My story will date me. As an undergrad EE I worked for the physical plant department. The original buildings on our campus were constructed in time for the 1904 World's Fair and were powered by the "original" 2-phase, 90-degree out of phase system. When the world came to realize not long thereafter that 3-phase power was the most economical the university, not wanting the expense of replacing all the 2-phase motors, installed two center tap transformers in a "Scott Bank." to power them. By the time I was there (1960s) there were only two motors left running off the Scott Bank -- one large exhaust fan and the book elevator motor in the original library. I had always wondered why 2-phase when I think it was on page 2 of the introduction to A/C circuits book that demonstrated the economy of 3-phase. Thanks for helping me to understand the natural progression.

an AC motor is very important because if you simply reverse the force or energy applied then it becomes a generator. if you input electricity it spin if you spin the rotor it will create electricity. Ferrari was a genius. Ferrari's model is still the basis of modern AC motors. force input = force output almost of course there is very small loss due to mechanical movements of the parts or loss due to heat.
Your videos are amazing and I have been binging them since I discovered your channel a few days ago. Adding historical context around amazing scientific discoveries adds so much to the story and humanizes the inventions in a away that makes them so much better. Hope you and your family are better soon. Looking forward to more videos.

@Jakov Jerkovic 😂😂😂 dood you are so unbelievably misinformed. Did you just say Tesla had nothing to do with electric cars or using his electric motors for transportation?!? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Go look up Tesla’s TRAIN car patent. It uses a high frequency AC source and high frequency ac motor. WHICH COULD BE USED IN REGULAR CARS TOO……and he says so in the patent too 🙄🙄🙄 Electric railway system PATENT # 514,972….. Not to mention… Tesla literally had a patent turned down for a car that is powered by his Tesla turbine that spins a high frequency alternator from which the high frequency alternator is rectified and used to directly supply power to independent electric motors around the car. This patent of his was turned down. Go pick up the “unresolved patents of Nikola Tesla” and learn yourself something before regurgitating the nonsense you just spewed again 🙄🙄🙄
@Jakov Jerkovic even worse what you just said is a clear indication that you haven’t read barely any of Tesla work because he explicitly talks about how he wanted to use the AC induction motors for flight because it was the only motor at the time that as light enough to even think about flying. And with his desires to wirelessly transmit power he fully envisioned his AC motors being not only powerful enough to keep flight sustained but also have the power transmitted to the plane that their was no fuel needed to be carried with it….. “even though tesla had nothing to do with electric cars….” 😂😂😂 yeah ok bud. Stop confusing the fake claims of Tesla’s “batteryless” car by arther Mathews and Peter savo as “proof” Tesla did no work at all on electric vehicles 🙄🙄🙄
@Jakov Jerkovic Tesla is not a god and he got some things wrong, and the entire 3,6,9 crowd is predicated on a fake Tesla quote. But that does not make Tesla’s own works invalid just because their has been a concerted corporate effort to sully his name and ideas 😂😂😂 I have literally found paid disinformation trolls on the internet who actively run around spreading fake fantastical claims of Tesla just to keep people thinking it’s not worth even looking at his work because he “was a kook” and he was too cool for school… 🙄🙄🙄
@Jakov Jerkovic “he took an assistant and did nothing in AC motors!” Umm what?!? Both of Tesla’s high frequency alternators/generators, patent numbers 447,920 and 447,921 filed in 1890 can be used in reverse as AC motors……🙄🙄🙄 they just aren’t self exciting. But Tesla also patented a self exciting DC generator/motor, Patent number 406,968, that could be used as the simple exciter that fixed a vast majority of the issues with the Faraday disc… where are you getting your information from?

Arago's wheel took me back to a demo they gave us undergrad enginneers back in the 70s. They had an electromagnet from a cancelled cyclotron with poles the size of a cafe table and maybe 4" apart. You could shove an aluminum plate in there standing on edge, and the induced current kept it upright for quite a while.

Looking forward to your video on Steinmetz, whom I knew about in a library book in high school, when I had never read anything about Tesla. Something I attribute to GE having more publicity and promotion in schools available. In Jr. High I made a "computer" according to a GE Progress Poster plan that won three blue ribbons at Science and County Fairs. It was a very simple analog resistor multiplier circuit, that I added two rows of push buttons to, numbered 1 through 10. Digital computers were in all the news in 1957, and in my innocence I did not know one type of computer from another. Getting the ammeter on that analog computer to read the correct answer to two simultaneously pressed, numbered buttons, wired to the appropriate spots along two linear nichrome wires was a nightmare, as each clip altered the total resistance. Anyhow the learning experience was invaluable to my later career in aerospace.
And then, you discovered transistors :-) I'm "young" but I sometimes play with old Germanium transistors and am still amazed at what a revolution these were, back when they appeared. We're so spoiled with out modern, cheap, efficient, reliable transistors these days...
Woooow..... 1st of all thanks to you i finally understand the context of physics and discoveries. If you could really spare the time could you please tell us your reference books so that we can get some further insights please. Thank you and keep up the great job. Thanks one more time.
"Thanks for your personal explanation at the end of this video. For me, your 3 phase video was recommended by UA-cam. So I clicked and watched the whole video. Love it and then thumbs up. Now I watched this video. Keep up the good work and continued success." -Tom
Break through CCP virus. Kathy needs to love biology and anti-bodies too so that the so called doctors that run the 'medical profession' can do their job as well as you do.
I found your channel about 6 months ago while looking for introduction-level explanations about entropy, Bolzman and the basic ideas of thermodynamics, for a friend. Well, I had studied the field and thought I could not convey it as well as you do, and look, I learned even more from your channel these last months :-) It was about time UA-cam's recommendation algo gave you some love back !

The Italian 30km energy transfer from Waterfall Lanzo to Turin was in 1884. The transfer from Lauffen to Frankfurt was later in 1991. So the Italians were much earlier (even Germany had a longer distance)
They were both milestones because the energy transfer to Turin was the first industrial transmission with single phase AC and the one from Laufen to Frankfurt was three phase.
All my best in both of your recoveries, please take all of the time you need! It is often the case that when all of the elements of the basis for an invention come together, people with access to the same information will simultaneously and independently bring them together to invent similar, if not identical things. The one who gets the credit is often just the one who happened to decide to patent it or promote it. And many vested interests or promoters get to write the stories that we learn in history books. As an electrician, this has been such a great romp through this fascinating history of the meeting of physics and our material technology.
What the history books told us is amazingly inaccurate in many cases. (particularly in American history books). Who gets credit often depends on who got to the patent office first, who had the best (or most unscrupulous) lawyer, who had the most money, or who got to market first, etc. We have often given credit, not to the true inventor, but to the one who made the most money. American history is, in large part, the history of raw capitalism.
Cannot wait to see the doc vid on steimetz .. grew up in new york where he was at union college... if i recall he used to ride around town on a cart pulled by an ostrich ... yes weird
Commenting here, but watching episode #2 on electricity. You have to put this in a book. Maybe some nice illustrations, pictures of everyone. I would buy it! But your series is amazingly interesting anyway, and love the 'Ready? Let's go' energy:)
That is exactly what I did! Actually, this all started as a book and then it took me this long to refine it and get it ready for publication. It’s going to be called the lightning tamers and it’s due out in late spring/early summer of 2022.
Yay! I love your videos! Thanks for you work! I made a comment on the Tesla coil one you made and would love to know your thoughts about what Tesla said in his patents.
Great video! I've been trying to figure out more about the Swedish 3-phase systems and ASEA. They seem to be around a year behind AEG, but seem to have built 3-phase systems before AEG publishes or shows anything, so it seems to be yet another case of independently inventing the same thing.
Mrs. Kathy, Love your content. I remember a Lab in Rotating Machinery, back at NMSU in 1973. We MADE real big Motors and generators in a weekly Lab. I came to enjoy EM antenna classes, came in hand for modern GHZ CPU PC boards. signals between devices 5G direct, well defined transmission lines
Today we call the two phase motors... single phase motors. Because we realized that we can make the 90 degree phase, from the original phase (or close enough), with capacitors. Very interesting historical view of electricity! It made me watch the thermodynamic videos, also very interesting for the historical component, that we were never told in school about. It truly makes science alive.
do you delve into Mathematics? .. i'd be interested to learn the truth about Newton vs. Leibniz. I'm pretty sure everything i usually see is presented through nationalistic filters.
I see I am not the only one who can't figure out how Ms Kathy has been hiding in plain sight. This is a wonderful channel, full of interesting connections in science and Kathy's creativity is astounding.
I really enjoy watching your videos, they are entertaining and informative. Could you do a video on Newton and how is law of motion came to be. I think a lot of people will be interested in videos on Hooke, huygens, Lagrange, Descarte, Galileo etc, and physicist from that era because that would cover the birth of physics.
Great video! Very true also that Tesla would have been well aware of many of the people working along similar lines before him and should have given them a mention.
Hey lost track there, some video to make a xxyy motor, and turn it on. We even manually went online with 3PHASE AC power. the dreaded open field winding, causing a run away motor. . . . . . LOL I recall one class in vacumn tubes, enter IBM360 mainframe, wow a five inch deck to design and cost a 500 mile power line. less than 10 milliseconfds CPU time
absolutely fascinating: as a lifetime engineer (i tend to build things to see how they work)...i can state: kathy does a wonderful job of explaining *how* one of the most important inventions in human history happened. (namely the phased induction motor - really a generator of electrical power). ferraris' work on "multiphase" light (polarized light) is absolutely crucial here, since there is a connection between electricity and light waves (both part of the electromagnetic spectrum). do we fully understand the potential of the full electromagnetic spectrum? no... is it worth exploring and designing experiments that reveal the secrets of light? yes... i would encourage any scientist or engineer to consider this course of action. since, what's next? whats the new generator (beyond polyphase generators), based on real scientific discovery, gonna look like? thoughts welcome: thanks for reading. ▲
I'm very glad to have had the algorithm push your channel my way. Your videos are well done and delightfully informative. I enjoy them immensely and have subscribed to your podcast. Thank you! One minor "in my opinion" suggestion. Something different for your open and close besides the ditty. Perhaps a brief instrumental (a la the DarkHorse podcast), with even an electrical crackle at the end. I find the "electricity, electricity" a little cringey. But this is your podcast and your choice, of course. Thank you again.
Like several other people here, I too just learned about your channel. Also, like several other people here, I too have been reading about and studying Tesla's works and the things attributed to him. Over the past few years, I've been running into other information about Tesla that tends to confirm the things you're saying in your videos about him - Namely that he was inspired by others but didn't give them credit when he applied for his patents or wrote his papers which were published in the journals of the day. Now that you're giving more dates and clarity to the events of those times, I'm becoming more convinced that Tesla, while a genius in his own right, may have actually been more inspired by others achievements than he ever publicly stated. I've signed up for your email list using a different email address, and am looking forward to receiving the chapter you've said you removed from your upcoming book. I'm also looking forward to being able to read that book because I have a feeling it will give more clarity to what actually happened during the years when "The Current Wars" were going on, and who did what and when they did it. On another note, I think purple looks good on you. Also, sorry to hear of the breakthrough infections you and your daughter are going through. I'm hoping you will recover quickly and will be back to full health in no time at all. Get well soon Kathy!
Small bit of personal history... In the late 1970's I had to design a 6000 amp 250 DC rectifier from 3 phase AC. The issue was that it had to run on 25 cycle and could be converted to 60 cycle at a later date. The steel mill in Homestead, Pa, ran on blast furnace heat at 25 cycles. When they stopped melting ore, they had to change. 25 cycle really flickers. 25 cycle was good for wear and tear on equipment.
I'd like to hear your opinion on Heaviside. I know math people don't like it too much but it's really interesting (and works in industry). A diminishing integral always with a value of 1. It would be a good tale I think. Ignoring infinity(or time) is required for a bit haha. (Thanks for your videos, you do a really good job of these. As a fellow electric geek I really appreciate it, might give it a crack myself one day. I'm more on the software side but LOVE physics and history and have really been enjoying your vids.) Cheers.
I just found your videos and love them. Any chance you might do a video on Benford’s (Newcomb) law? It may not be appropriate for your channel but I love how it came about by such observation. Thanks again for your great videos.
Back when I was building Tesla coils in the 1990s, the only people discussing Nikola Tesla were high voltage experimenters and free energy weirdos. I read all I could get my hands on at the time and the general assessment from the less sensationalistic authors was that Tesla was an unfairly forgotten electrical pioneer. Jump 25 years to 2022 and Tesla has gone from a unit of magnetic flux density to a household word. I wonder if current researchers are more inclined to harshly assess his achievements because of his recent leap from obscurity. Super happy to have found this channel. Watched a half dozen videos so far and just joined your Patreon. One thing you inspired me to learn more about is transmission frequency. Tonight I already discovered that there is an old New York hydroelectric plant that still produces power at 40Hz, that 133 Hz was not unusual around 1890, and that 33&1/3 and 16&2/3 were also chosen. Maybe some other content provider has a video explaining why early generators and turntables ended up rotating at the same speed. 😄
Certainly he deserves a place in the history of electrical technology but not the place form by the internet documentaries,videos & films. These propaganda products eclipsed all the other related inventors & subsequently perfected systems.
Tesla was always improving on existing ideas I don’t think he needed to acknowledge anyone, they all treated him as insignificant ! Can you blame him! Come on now!
@Kathy Loves Physics & History Thank you for your excellent narration of these videos! Too many narrators use nonstandard English which can be difficult for an international audience.
I, too would like you to keep your graphics on the screen a few seconds longer. I realize you’re trying to keep your video short, but my 79 year old brain can’t keep up. Thanks
It's pretty apparent to me that you love science and history. I can tell that you have out so much work into these videos. It is so impressive. Do you teach students? I can definitely see you inspiring so many students to pursue the sciences. Also, I am man. I truly appreciate you teaching about women in science. I would love to see more videos about women and minorities in science. Thank you for all your work.
Im totally hooked! I would like more numbers with my physics: how many volts, amps, etc. were these goobers dealing with in their experiments? Thanks for many blissful hours on my Covid Couch.
Does a thought travel faster than the velocity of light? Has nothing ever existed? Where in the human cell is the life force and where in the brain cell is the memory? Questions children ask.
I think the point is that you need a means to reliably magnetically attract a shaft to rotate. You can do this by a less than 180 phase difference in a nearby coil. The change in crests causes the shaft to go to the next coil.
I’d have guessed that the inspiration was drawn from the steam engine, specifically the two cylinder, double acting type as would be found on a locomotive, for instance. These have crank throws at 90*, are self starting, and develop continuous, nearly constant torque, like a two phase motor. I’m quite surprised to learn that this is not the case! They would have been literally surrounded by these engines in their time.
That would’ve been a logical guess. Silvans Thompson gave that its an analogy in a book in 1897 or so (not sure of the year). However, that is not what inspired Ferrari’s and I think that If Tesla had been informed that way he would have said so.

In this video there is an image/GIF it is called as Gluon-field(which is one of quantum field) other than that i am not able to find any other image(simulated or animated) image of quantum field
Ferraris doesn't get enough credit
what a good name
Galileo Ferraris
Arago's wheel took me back to a demo they gave us undergrad enginneers back in the 70s. They had an electromagnet from a cancelled cyclotron with poles the size of a cafe table and maybe 4" apart. You could shove an aluminum plate in there standing on edge, and the induced current kept it upright for quite a while.

Looking forward to your video on Steinmetz, whom I knew about in a library book in high school, when I had never read anything about Tesla. Something I attribute to GE having more publicity and promotion in schools available. In Jr. High I made a "computer" according to a GE Progress Poster plan that won three blue ribbons at Science and County Fairs. It was a very simple analog resistor multiplier circuit, that I added two rows of push buttons to, numbered 1 through 10. Digital computers were in all the news in 1957, and in my innocence I did not know one type of computer from another.
Getting the ammeter on that analog computer to read the correct answer to two simultaneously pressed, numbered buttons, wired to the appropriate spots along two linear nichrome wires was a nightmare, as each clip altered the total resistance. Anyhow the learning experience was invaluable to my later career in aerospace.
And then, you discovered transistors :-)
I'm "young" but I sometimes play with old Germanium transistors and am still amazed at what a revolution these were, back when they appeared.
We're so spoiled with out modern, cheap, efficient, reliable transistors these days...
Woooow..... 1st of all thanks to you i finally understand the context of physics and discoveries. If you could really spare the time could you please tell us your reference books so that we can get some further insights please. Thank you and keep up the great job. Thanks one more time.
"Thanks for your personal explanation at the end of this video. For me, your 3 phase video was recommended by UA-cam. So I clicked and watched the whole video. Love it and then thumbs up. Now I watched this video. Keep up the good work and continued success." -Tom
Thanks, great video as always. Put all videos on the back burner, you take care of your health. And congratulations on the jump in viewership.
Hi Madam, I guess you are the only one on UA-cam who studied Tesla Truely. Stay Healthy & Happy Madam.
just keep on posting video's on father's of electricity.
I've always been confused by circular polarisation. This video explained it perfectly in about 4 seconds!
Tesla got many of his ideas from the folklore elements of the South Slavic costume

Break through CCP virus. Kathy needs to love biology and anti-bodies too so that the so called doctors that run the 'medical profession' can do their job as well as you do.
Love your content. I really think you could take this channel to the next level by getting a good microphone. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for another interesting video. And take careof yourself and get well soon.
I found your channel about 6 months ago while looking for introduction-level explanations about entropy, Bolzman and the basic ideas of thermodynamics, for a friend. Well, I had studied the field and thought I could not convey it as well as you do, and look, I learned even more from your channel these last months :-)
It was about time UA-cam's recommendation algo gave you some love back !
Thank you so much. 😊

The Italian 30km energy transfer from Waterfall Lanzo to Turin was in 1884.
The transfer from Lauffen to Frankfurt was later in 1991.
So the Italians were much earlier (even Germany had a longer distance)
They were both milestones because the energy transfer to Turin was the first industrial transmission with single phase AC and the one from Laufen to Frankfurt was three phase.
All my best in both of your recoveries, please take all of the time you need!
It is often the case that when all of the elements of the basis for an invention come together, people with access to the same information will simultaneously and independently bring them together to invent similar, if not identical things. The one who gets the credit is often just the one who happened to decide to patent it or promote it. And many vested interests or promoters get to write the stories that we learn in history books. As an electrician, this has been such a great romp through this fascinating history of the meeting of physics and our material technology.
What the history books told us is amazingly inaccurate in many cases. (particularly in American history books). Who gets credit often depends on who got to the patent office first, who had the best (or most unscrupulous) lawyer, who had the most money, or who got to market first, etc. We have often given credit, not to the true inventor, but to the one who made the most money. American history is, in large part, the history of raw capitalism.
Cannot wait to see the doc vid on steimetz .. grew up in new york where he was at union college... if i recall he used to ride around town on a cart pulled by an ostrich ... yes weird
Commenting here, but watching episode #2 on electricity. You have to put this in a book. Maybe some nice illustrations, pictures of everyone. I would buy it! But your series is amazingly interesting anyway, and love the 'Ready? Let's go' energy:)
That is exactly what I did! Actually, this all started as a book and then it took me this long to refine it and get it ready for publication. It’s going to be called the lightning tamers and it’s due out in late spring/early summer of 2022.
If you wouldnt be waving your arms and hands all over the place, I'd watch the videos
Good, close your eye or place a bit of cardboard across the bottom of the screen.
@@gpwgpw555 Then I cant read CC.
It can be hard watching people spazzing out on screen, so yeah I tend to just listen rather than watch for channels like that.
quality not quantity.
true
Yay! I love your videos! Thanks for you work! I made a comment on the Tesla coil one you made and would love to know your thoughts about what Tesla said in his patents.
This is so well done. You keep putting pieces of the puzzle together. Eventually we can begin to see the big picture.
So tesla was still gifted then?.
Congratulations on the growth of your channel. I love your enthusiasm for these pieces of history. I hope you and your daughter are all better by now.
I love watching your videos. I'm lucky to have discovered this channel.
Great video!
I've been trying to figure out more about the Swedish 3-phase systems and ASEA. They seem to be around a year behind AEG, but seem to have built 3-phase systems before AEG publishes or shows anything, so it seems to be yet another case of independently inventing the same thing.
You are the very best.
Kathy, your content is awesome.... this changes all the history that school told us.... keep it up !
Get well soon.
thanks kathy.
Get well soon
Mrs. Kathy,
Love your content. I remember a Lab in Rotating Machinery, back at NMSU in 1973. We MADE real big
Motors and generators in a weekly Lab. I came to enjoy EM antenna classes, came in hand for modern
GHZ CPU PC boards. signals between devices 5G direct, well defined transmission lines
Today we call the two phase motors... single phase motors. Because we realized that we can make the 90 degree phase, from the original phase (or close enough), with capacitors.
Very interesting historical view of electricity! It made me watch the thermodynamic videos, also very interesting for the historical component, that we were never told in school about. It truly makes science alive.
do you delve into Mathematics? .. i'd be interested to learn the truth about Newton vs. Leibniz. I'm pretty sure everything i usually see is presented through nationalistic filters.
I love your videos. Hope you continue to feel better.
I hope so too!
I'm waiting patiently on Steinmetz I just said if I was a teacher I would tell the kids okay we're going to watch you on UA-cam
DC resistance, AC reactance, MMF reluctance, amps, webers, ohms, and mhos. Electric and magnetic circuits both follow Ohms law.
Happy your channel is getting the recognition it deserves. All the best for your recovery. 👍
Great video, thank you! 🙏🏻
I see I am not the only one who can't figure out how Ms Kathy has been hiding in plain sight. This is a wonderful channel, full of interesting connections in science and Kathy's creativity is astounding.
Thank you 😊
Hi Kathy, I was one of your AP physics students back in 2011. Thanks for still teaching me new things!
I really enjoy watching your videos, they are entertaining and informative. Could you do a video on Newton and how is law of motion came to be. I think a lot of people will be interested in videos on Hooke, huygens, Lagrange, Descarte, Galileo etc, and physicist from that era because that would cover the birth of physics.
Great video! Very true also that Tesla would have been well aware of many of the people working along similar lines before him and should have given them a mention.
Hey lost track there, some video to make a xxyy motor, and turn it on.
We even manually went online with 3PHASE AC power. the dreaded open field
winding, causing a run away motor. . . . . . LOL
I recall one class in vacumn tubes, enter IBM360 mainframe, wow
a five inch deck to design and cost a 500 mile power line. less than 10 milliseconfds CPU time
absolutely fascinating: as a lifetime engineer (i tend to build things to see how they work)...i can state: kathy does a wonderful job of explaining *how* one of the most important inventions in human history happened. (namely the phased induction motor - really a generator of electrical power).
ferraris' work on "multiphase" light (polarized light) is absolutely crucial here, since there is a connection between electricity and light waves (both part of the electromagnetic spectrum). do we fully understand the potential of the full electromagnetic spectrum? no... is it worth exploring and designing experiments that reveal the secrets of light? yes... i would encourage any scientist or engineer to consider this course of action. since, what's next?
whats the new generator (beyond polyphase generators), based on real scientific discovery, gonna look like?
thoughts welcome: thanks for reading. ▲
I'm very glad to have had the algorithm push your channel my way. Your videos are well done and delightfully informative. I enjoy them immensely and have subscribed to your podcast. Thank you!
One minor "in my opinion" suggestion. Something different for your open and close besides the ditty. Perhaps a brief instrumental (a la the DarkHorse podcast), with even an electrical crackle at the end. I find the "electricity, electricity" a little cringey. But this is your podcast and your choice, of course. Thank you again.
Like several other people here, I too just learned about your channel. Also, like several other people here, I too have been reading about and studying Tesla's works and the things attributed to him. Over the past few years, I've been running into other information about Tesla that tends to confirm the things you're saying in your videos about him - Namely that he was inspired by others but didn't give them credit when he applied for his patents or wrote his papers which were published in the journals of the day. Now that you're giving more dates and clarity to the events of those times, I'm becoming more convinced that Tesla, while a genius in his own right, may have actually been more inspired by others achievements than he ever publicly stated.
I've signed up for your email list using a different email address, and am looking forward to receiving the chapter you've said you removed from your upcoming book. I'm also looking forward to being able to read that book because I have a feeling it will give more clarity to what actually happened during the years when "The Current Wars" were going on, and who did what and when they did it.
On another note, I think purple looks good on you. Also, sorry to hear of the breakthrough infections you and your daughter are going through. I'm hoping you will recover quickly and will be back to full health in no time at all. Get well soon Kathy!
Small bit of personal history... In the late 1970's I had to design a 6000 amp 250 DC rectifier from 3 phase AC. The issue was that it had to run on 25 cycle and could be converted to 60 cycle at a later date. The steel mill in Homestead, Pa, ran on blast furnace heat at 25 cycles. When they stopped melting ore, they had to change.
25 cycle really flickers. 25 cycle was good for wear and tear on equipment.
I'd like to hear your opinion on Heaviside. I know math people don't like it too much but it's really interesting (and works in industry). A diminishing integral always with a value of 1. It would be a good tale I think. Ignoring infinity(or time) is required for a bit haha.
(Thanks for your videos, you do a really good job of these. As a fellow electric geek I really appreciate it, might give it a crack myself one day. I'm more on the software side but LOVE physics and history and have really been enjoying your vids.)
Cheers.
I just found your videos and love them. Any chance you might do a video on Benford’s (Newcomb) law? It may not be appropriate for your channel but I love how it came about by such observation. Thanks again for your great videos.
Back when I was building Tesla coils in the 1990s, the only people discussing Nikola Tesla were high voltage experimenters and free energy weirdos. I read all I could get my hands on at the time and the general assessment from the less sensationalistic authors was that Tesla was an unfairly forgotten electrical pioneer.
Jump 25 years to 2022 and Tesla has gone from a unit of magnetic flux density to a household word. I wonder if current researchers are more inclined to harshly assess his achievements because of his recent leap from obscurity.
Super happy to have found this channel. Watched a half dozen videos so far and just joined your Patreon. One thing you inspired me to learn more about is transmission frequency. Tonight I already discovered that there is an old New York hydroelectric plant that still produces power at 40Hz, that 133 Hz was not unusual around 1890, and that 33&1/3 and 16&2/3 were also chosen. Maybe some other content provider has a video explaining why early generators and turntables ended up rotating at the same speed. 😄
Certainly he deserves a place in the history of electrical technology but not the place form by the internet documentaries,videos & films.
These propaganda products eclipsed all the other related inventors & subsequently perfected systems.
I notice Edison has dropped onto the back burner and rightly so.
Yeah, that's how I found her myself. She was the only person on UA-cam talking about Tesla who isn't part of his cult!

Im scientific illterate. Your channel will lift one above such ignorance. Of course I will check out primary sources as well.
Oh, dear, our sweet Kathy (and her child) SICK with Covid. Yikes. My condolences. Please rest as we can wait for your promised story.
Tesla was always improving on existing ideas
I don’t think he needed to acknowledge anyone, they all treated him as insignificant ! Can you blame him!
Come on now!
@Kathy Loves Physics & History Thank you for your excellent narration of these videos! Too many narrators use nonstandard English which can be difficult for an international audience.
Wow. I've now intuited how circular polarized waves are created. Thanks for the video and BRB binging on the rest of the channel!
I, too would like you to keep your graphics on the screen a few seconds longer. I realize you’re trying to keep your video short, but my 79 year old brain can’t keep up. Thanks
Thanks for teaching us the History of Science... your GREAT!
It's pretty apparent to me that you love science and history.
I can tell that you have out so much work into these videos. It is so impressive.
Do you teach students? I can definitely see you inspiring so many students to pursue the sciences.
Also, I am man. I truly appreciate you teaching about women in science.
I would love to see more videos about women and minorities in science.
Thank you for all your work.
Could you maybe make a video who invented the Mikrophon and who invented the speaker? And more detaillierte about Maxwell and radiowave and steinmetz
I am loving all of your videos. Are you going to do one on Josiah Willard Gibbs and his free energy concept at all? That would be awesome!
I'm working on something I call four phase electricity, but it's not ready yet.
Ehy your channel listd as made made for kids content? And we can't get nitification as a result.
Thanks for your ever outstanding, in-depth work that has as much historical value as scientific and engineering value !
will you clarify physics doubts given in comment madam ?
A video of your top scientists and another of your top discoveries. These would make great filler videos
Im totally hooked! I would like more numbers with my physics: how many volts, amps, etc. were these goobers dealing with in their experiments? Thanks for many blissful hours on my Covid Couch.
goobers? you must be splitting atoms on that couch.
Pfff. Ya don't see his picture of 'im on a bubble gum card, do ya? Tesla wasn't so great. . .
Does a thought travel faster than the velocity of light? Has nothing ever existed? Where in the human cell is the life force and where in the brain cell is the memory? Questions children ask.
Kathy I am so glad your chanel exists. It's clear that the history of electricity is completely misunderstood.
Hi Kathy. I sent you an email. I appreciate a reply when you can. Thanks
I think the point is that you need a means to reliably magnetically attract a shaft to rotate. You can do this by a less than 180 phase difference in a nearby coil. The change in crests causes the shaft to go to the next coil.
I’d have guessed that the inspiration was drawn from the steam engine, specifically the two cylinder, double acting type as would be found on a locomotive, for instance. These have crank throws at 90*, are self starting, and develop continuous, nearly constant torque, like a two phase motor. I’m quite surprised to learn that this is not the case! They would have been literally surrounded by these engines in their time.
That would’ve been a logical guess. Silvans Thompson gave that its an analogy in a book in 1897 or so (not sure of the year). However, that is not what inspired Ferrari’s and I think that If Tesla had been informed that way he would have said so.

Kathy it would be helpful to have the texts that you present on screen for a little longer; it is difficult to read them in a short time. A list of references at the end would also be helpful. Thank you
I love all your videos. I would like to see the story of Oliver Heaviside and the underwater cable from the us to europe.
I'm a little lost on some stuff but studying would solve that.
But you keep up the good work!
So... The real reason that Musk called his cars "Teslas" is that he wanted make electrical "Ferraris"?
As an electrical engineer that is also extremely interested in history (and even more so the history of electricity), I am so glad I came across your channel! I hope you get well soon and I hope to see more coming from you soon (though I'm still working my way through your back catalog!)

Can zombie Tesla fix the dislike button?
Did you do a video on the Michelson-Morley experiment?
What a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much.
your videos are great! but you should do something about your intro tune, it's really not up to your standard
That electricity jingle is....... shocking.
I have to ask. How the mechanical switched capacitor start of ac motors came about?
