...Slowly - some would say too slowly - the U.S. is adapting to the anticipated need for high-voltage charging. Updated building codes in California require new homes to have outlets capable of recharging an electric vehicle at 220 volts, notes Richard Lowenthal, chief executive officer of Coulomb Technologies in Campbell, Calif. His company has developed a network of charging points for electric vehicles in and around cities across the U.S., including San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit and Nashville...
...physicists are seeking to determine if Coulomb's Law-which asserts that electrons have no mass and that the force of attraction between two particles varies inversely as the square of the distance between them-holds true at distances as small as 10 to the negative 15 centimeters...
...TIME'S intention was not to criticize the frequent lower-case spelling of Diesel but to spotlight the fact that the name of the engine had eclipsed the name of the man. Some other scientific words (besides watt and ampere) from the names of great pioneers: ohm, coulomb, gauss, henry, maxwell, gilbert, volt (from Volta), galvanize (from Galvani...
...long-standing fame flares again. People who all their lives have lived by means of the devices he has invented and inspired, people who have forgotten there were an Alessandro Volta, an André Marie Ampère, a Georg Simon Ohm in, a Charles Augustin de Coulomb, a Luigi Galvani or a James Watt, are reminded that there still is a Nikola Tesla (pronounced Tcshlah) who long ago rave them the Tesla induction motor which made alternating current practical, and the Tesla transformer which steps up oscillating currents to high potentials (15,000,000 volts he avers, with...
...Crompton, his old friend and associate, roared out: "Your father orders you to speak!" Dr. Michael I. Pupin of Columbia University addressed the visitors, with great names upon his tongue for them to honor, the names of electricity's pioneers-Volt, Ampere, Ohm, Faraday, Hertz, Kelvin, Helmholtz, Gauss, Coulomb...
