We'll Take Him |

We'll Take Him Charles Proteus Steinmetz fled Germany in 1889 because of his political views, and came to America to continue his engineering work on transformers and electric power distribution. Unsettled at the inability to calculate losses due to magnetism in transformers and other AC apparatus, Steinmetz worked out a theoretical and experimental method for doing so. His result was the discovery of "hysterisis" properties, the phenomenon by which a material's magnetism in a given magnetic field can have two different values. The principle has subsequently been applied to positive feedback in the electrical and mechanical realms as well as in biology and many other fields. A huge collection of my 'Factoids' can be accessed from my 'Kirt's Cogitations' table of contents. Tech Topics Smorgasbord, another manifestation of Factoids, are be found on these pages: | 1

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The Internet was still largely an unknown entity at the time and not much was available in the form of WYSIWYG ... All trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other rights of ownership to images and text used on the RF Cafe website are hereby acknowledged. My Hobby Website: AirplanesAndRockets.com
