High-voltage, short-pulse generators based on induction voltage adders
Article Abstract:
Since the mid-1980s, a number of pulsed power accelerators have been built in which pulsed voltages with up to 20 megavolts and currents of several hundred kiloamps have been generated by taking a large number of pulses and adding them in series with the aid of linear induction accelerator modules and a self-magnetically insulated 'vacuum voltage adder.' The voltage adders provide pulses, typically lasting tens of nanoseconds, to high-voltage particle beam diodes with impedances ranging from 10 ohms to about 200 ohms. In a poll, members of the pulsed power community chose this technology as the most important recent advance in the field. These new pulsed power accelerators are discussed in detail.

Kennelly Uses Complex Quantities to Simplify AC Analysis
Article Abstract:
It is difficult to analyze the properties of alternating current. The use of impedence concept and complex quantities makes the analysis easier. Impedance of a conductor is its apparent resistance. Discussions on this analysis are included. Tables list impedence factors for pairs of parallel copper wires carrying simple harmonic currents.

Lamme on a Revolution in Electric Power Generators
Article Abstract:
Work and design philosophy of electrical power machinery is described. Two principal types of rotors for the turbines are discussed. It is reported that there are some differences in American and European design of power plants. Discussions on this subject by many other scientists are also included. A photograph shows a rotor.
