Electromagnetic Induction And Its Propagation

Description

Part 1

This book originates from a presentation titled Electromagnetic Induction And Its Propagation by Eric Dollard at the 2020 Energy Science & Technology Conference.

The following chapters of Electromagnetic Induction And Its Propagation derive their basis from what has become known as the Faraday-Maxwell concept of electricity, and its further advancement through the pioneering efforts of J.J. Thomson and Oliver Heaviside. Electromagnetic theory, as it is presently understood, can be considered the creation of Oliver Heaviside, despite the prevalent notion that this was the creation of James Clerk Maxwell.

As with all theoretical propositions, those of Heaviside were incomplete and lacking in certain details, as were those of Maxwell before him. Thus, these needed further development in order to be applied to electrical engineering. The work of Heaviside was to be advanced by the efforts of Arthur Kennelly and Charles Proteus Steinmetz, the two figures mostly responsible for electric power, telephone, television, and data transmission engineering.

The objective of this book is to unify the symbols, units, and dimensions established by these important individuals into a comprehensive set of engineering formulations free of the usual overly complex mathematics and delusive theories attendant to any engineering text in current use. It is believed by this author that, in these chapters, a level of clarity has been achieved never before presented in a text of this kind. Accordingly, this can be regarded as an advancement into a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of electricity.

Part 2

Electromagnetic Induction And Its Propagation Part 2 by Eric Dollard will develop a concise representation of the equations of James Clerk Maxwell, as applied algebraically to practical engineering scenarios.

Part 3

This final volume of Electromagnetic Induction and its Propagation establishes the general equation of electric induction, or what may be called the Heaviside-Steinmetz equation. This equation represents a finality in the development of the primordial work of James Clerk Maxwell, the development of this work by Oliver Heaviside, and its final algebraic expression for engineering application by Charles Proteus Steinmetz.

The development of this general equation represents the results of decades of work by the author and as far as it is known no such equation has seen prior development.

The train of development begins with the author’s “A Common Language for Electrical Engineers” which establishes the fundamental terminology, dimensions, and units of the electrical process. And following this, volume one of Electromagnetic Induction and its Propagation presents the basic relations, and volume two presents the basic engineering applications in electrical transmission. Finally, this volume presents the complete algebraic analysis of the transmission process.
