C.P. Steinmetz Explains Electricity

Charles Proteus Steinmetz (April 9, 1865 – October 26, 1923) was a German-born American mathematician and electrical engineer. He fostered the development of alternating current that made possible the expansion of the electric power industry in the United States, formulating mathematical theories for engineers. He made ground-breaking discoveries in the understanding of hysteresis that enabled engineers to design better electromagnetic apparatus equipment including especially electric motors for use in industry.

Steinmetz was born Karl August Rudolph Steinmetz on April 9, 1865 in Breslau, Province of Silesia, the son of Caroline (Neubert) and Karl Heinrich Steinmetz. He was baptized a Lutheran, the religion his family "nominally" belonged to. Steinmetz suffered from dwarfism, hunchback, and hip dysplasia, as did his father and grandfather. Steinmetz attended Johannes Gymnasium and astonished his teachers with his proficiency in mathematics and physics. Steinmetz maintained a small cabin overlooking the Mohawk River near Schenectady, New York.

Following the Gymnasium, Steinmetz went on to the University of Breslau to begin work on his undergraduate degree in 1883. He was on the verge of finishing his doctorate in 1888 when he came under investigation by the German police for activities on behalf of a socialist university group and articles he had written for a local socialist newspaper.

As socialist meetings and press had been banned in Germany, Steinmetz fled to Zürich in 1888 to escape possible arrest. Faced with an expiring visa, he emigrated to the United States in 1889. He changed his first name to Charles in order to sound more American and chose the middle name Proteus after a childhood taunt given to him by classmates. Proteus was a wise hunchbacked character from the Odyssey who knew many secrets and he felt it suited him.

Cornell University Professor Ronald R. Kline, the author of Steinmetz: Engineer and Socialist, contended that other factors were more directly involved in Steinmetz's decision to leave his homeland, such as the fact that he was in arrears with his tuition at the University of Breslau and that life at home with his father, stepmother, and their daughters was full of tension.  Despite his earlier efforts and interest in socialism, by 1922 Steinmetz concluded that socialism would never work in the U.S. because the country lacked a "powerful, centralized government of competent men, remaining continuously in office" and because "only a small percentage of Americans accept this viewpoint today."  A member of the original Technical Alliance which also included Thorstein Veblen and Leland Olds, Steinmetz had great faith in the ability of machines to eliminate human toil and create abundance for all. He put it this way: "Some day we make the good things of life for everybody."

Charles Proteus Steinmetz explains electricity

What is electricity? in this lesson 02, C.P. Steinmetz explains how electric energy produces power, and how electric power is related to inductance and capacity.

1. C.P. Steinmetz explains electricity 01 Fields


When these two fields are combined they form electric power.

2. C.P. Steinmetz explains electricity 02 Power, inductance and capacity


In the end I interpret a resonant bifilar coil, with this knowledge.

The book I quote from is from 1911 and is called:
Elementary lectures on electric discharges, waves and impulses, and other transients
by  Charles Proteus Steinmetz, who lived 1865-1923

3. C.P. Steinmetz explains electricity 03 Infinite voltage and current


I'll apply the theory to the resonant bifilar Tesla coil.

4. C.P. Steinmetz explains electricity 04 Insanity of charged particles


In this lesson 04, an inspiring quote from C.P. Steinmetz regarding "the prehistoric conceptions of charged particles", magnetic and dielectric lines of Force.
And a preview (6:48) of a new bifilar coil experiment I'm working on.

The picture of the fields at 3:33 shows a plus and a minus. This is the conductor feeding energy and draining energy (power cable plus and minus). They do not represent particles!

Comment

I would caution you to think about your word choice and be careful not to assume there is more to this model than a philosophical representation. What Steinmetz is saying is not that the Magnetic field is transformed into voltage or that the dielectric field is transformed into current... he is saying that the fields peak in value when the factors are at maximum acceleration. This is simply an observed correlation for two wire systems and AC signals, not a physical transformation.

And to say that electrical power is conserved while explaining how each component of power can be transformed into the other, independently stretches the imagination. Only something that is a fundamental, non-transmutable base  component can be conserved, something that is made up of multiple components is not subject to practical conservation limitations if those components can be independently manipulated or the rates of change influenced by local changes in passive materials. Even still, the conservation law only applies to energy in a closed system, when only considering the isolated fields... something that can be easily modified, such as the addition of a ferromagnetic material nearby or external field... the conversion of a current to a magnetic field and then back into voltage with a phase shift would be a simple way to amplify power within the circuit. Tricks like these have been used to get around the conservation argument for decades. And selectively ignored in power transmission for equally long.

For instance, Tesla talked about shifting the phase of the magnetic field response of an electric motor with a bi-filar stator winding (in his court testimony) Thane C Heins has several YTvids on the subject. This takes a little torque out of the motor per Tesla, but adds electricity from induction to the function of the motor, creating excess energy.  The only thing that keeps the process of EM induction conserved is designing it without significant capacitance, this forces the voltage induced to match the incoming changing field phase with a reverse signed energy injection. The generation of that energy is not restricted by the same limitations of the incoming energy, so a more effective environment can also be used to amplify the power in the exchange. Something else demonstrated by Heins.

Also, keep in mind the lines of force and definition of a field are not what is physically happening, similar to the topological lines on a map. They are representative of the mathematics, the correlations, philosophy not reality.

BTW, I thought Steinmetz worked at Westinghouse, GE would be the competition.... Maybe I got that wrong.

Also you might keep in mind that Steinmetz was most likely instructed to discredit Tesla and his progressive work with Radiant Energy with the tools he developed to train electrical engineers. There is a purpose behind this approach to not reveal the full potential of electricity. Take it with a grain of salt. His writings on philosophy of capitalism spell out the conditions under which he was constrained.
