This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 Excerpt: ... complete diversion of the current from its destined course to earth is promoted by the smallest points of escape presented to it, -a result which is, moreover, facilitated by the very high resistance of the fuses in circuit. With care this source of failure can be guarded against in operations on land: but such is not the case with regard to submarine arrangements; while, moreover, very minute defects in the coatings of the wires, when submerged, which would hardly influence the results at all on land, completely nullify the exploding-power of the machines. Hence magneto-electric instruments are the least reliable of all electric exploding-apparatus for submarine purposes. "A few experiments were instituted at Woolwich in 1857, on the employment of frictional electricity as an explodingagent, and especially with a small hydro-electric machine constructed for the purpose by Sir William Armstrong. The power of this machine to explode a number of charges simultaneously, when it was in good working-order, far surpassed any other instrument experimented with at that time; one hundred fuses, arranged in simple circuit, were frequently exploded by its means; but the great uncertainty of its action, and the difficulty of employing it in the field, did not afford encouragement for continuing experiments with it. "The great difficulties encountered in the Austrian experiments, in attempts to employ glass frictional electric machines for military purposes, led Baron von Ebner to direct his attention to the production of an instrument, in the construction of which glass was altogether avoided, and which might therefore be expected to be less subject to atmospheric influences. His labors in this direction were eventually crowned with success: for he found in...
