The Invention of Alternating Current
Pixii, following Faraday's blueprints, went on to build a generator of his own, much more efficient than Faraday's. His machine was hand cranked and had coils which revolved a magnet. Pixii's generator produced AC power, which was the first believed creation of the current. -
The Invention of the Alternating Current Motor
A man by the name of Walter Baily Made a copper disc rotate, which was to weak to add any weight. But this was the first concept of it. -
First Real Demonstration of the Power AC Current Has
Lucien Gaulard developed AC transformers, and used them across a 25 mile trolly from Lanzo to Turino with transformers steping down the voltage to light the path with Arc Lamps and Incandescent lights. -
First Pholyphase AC motor
Galileo Ferraris conceived the idea in the summer of 1885 that "two out-of-phase, but synchronized, currents might be used to produce two magnetic fields that could be combined to produce a rotating field without any need for switching or for moving parts." -
Great Bearrington Electrification
William Stanley, financed by George Westinghouse, built an AC demonstraition system using transformers with a modern design and an AC generator to make a complete AC distribution system. This was one of the greatest steps foward in AC power history. -
First development of 3 phase AC power
-
Depford Power Station Staring Construction
This was the point in time that The Deptford Power Station started construction as Ferranti designed it to be the first high voltage power genaration station in the world, he also oversaw the construction to said station. -
First Pholypahase AC Motor Public
Galileo Ferraris makes his AC polyphase motor public in 1888 which he first conceived in 1885. His motor worked without a communicator (a device that turned AC to DC or vice versa) which made it much more efficient than anything else at the time. -
Lauffen to Frankfurt Power Station
A small power station was completed in 1891, at a city named Lauffen am Neckar. A man named Mikhail Dolivo Dobrovolsky Built the Generator and Inproved upon it for the exposition of later -
Period: to
The Lauffen to FrankFurt Exposition
The Electric Exposition ran from May to October in 1891. Visitors paid 15 marks (German Currency) to enter a fair grounds that contained various uses of electrical power including The Lauffen to Frankfurt generator and transmition system. -
Adams Power Station system building
This was the point in time that the Adams Power Station at Niagara Falls was built along with a 25 mile power transmission line to Buffalo, NY. -
1895 The Folsom Power House
In 1895 The Folsom Power House opened and started sending AC power 22 miles to sacramento. This was one of the first facilitys equiped with Three Phase Sixty Cycle Power, the same type of power that we use today. -
Adams Power Station is completed and starts producing power
The Adams Power Station, several buildings southeast of Niagara Falls, was completed and started sending power 25 miles to Buffalo, NY. This was also the first large scale application of AC power in North America. -
Adams Power Station is completed and starts producing power
The Adams Power Station, consisting of several buildings, is completed and sends AC power to the booming industreal city of Buffalo, NY. -
Deptford Power Station Completed
This was the time that The Deptford Power Staion was completed and started sending the first high voltage power to most of central London. -
1900s 3 Phase AC Power finally Established
Somr unknown time in the 1900's Three Phase AC power was finally established as the main power source of the world.
