Chapter I: II (8)

Whirl, Electric. (a) A conductor carrying an electric current is surrounded by circular lines of force, which are sometimes termed an electric whirl.

(b) The Electric Flyer. (See Flyer, Electric.)

Wimshurst Electric Machine. An influence machine for producing high potential or static electricity.

Two circular discs of thin glass are mounted on perforated hubs or bosses of wood or ebonite. Each hub has a groove turned upon it to receive a cord. Each disc is shellacked. They are mounted on a horizontal steel spindle so as to face and to be within one-eighth of an inch of each other. On the outside of each disc sixteen or eighteen sectors of tinfoil or thin metal are cemented.

578 STANDARD ELECTRICAL DICTIONARY.

Two curved brass rods terminating in wire brushes curved into a semi-ellipse just graze the outer surfaces of the plates with their brushes. They lie in imaginary planes, passing through the axis of the spindle and at right angles from each other.

Four collecting combs are arranged horizontally on insulating supports to collect electricity from the horizontal diameters of the discs. These lie at an angle of about 45° with the other equalizing rods. Discharging rods connect with the collecting combs.

The principle of the machine is that one set of sector plates act as inductors for the other set. Its action is not perfectly understood.

It works well in damp weather, far surpassing other influence machines in this respect. On turning the handle a constant succession or stream of sparks is produced between the terminals of the discharging rods.

Windage. In a dynamo the real air gap between the armature windings and pole pieces is sometimes thus termed.

Wind, Electric. The rush of air particles from a point connected to a statically charged condenser.

Winding, Compound. A method of winding a generator or motor in which a shunt winding is used for the field magnets and in which also a second winding of the magnet is placed in series with the outer circuit. (See Winding, Series--Winding, Shunt.)

Fig. 350. CHARACTERISTIC CURVES OF SHUNT AND SERIES WINDING.

The object of compound winding is to make a self-regulating dynamo and this object is partly attained for a constant speed.

The characteristic curves of shunt and series winding are of opposite natures. The first increases in electro-motive force for resistance in the outer circuit, the latter decreases under the same conditions. If the windings are so proportioned that these conditions for each one of the two windings are equal and opposite, it is evident that the characteristic may be a straight line. This, however, it will only be at a single speed of rotation.

579 STANDARD ELECTRICAL DICTIONARY.

Winding, Disc. A winding which (S. P. Thompson) may be treated as a drum winding extended radially, the periphery corresponding to the back end of the drum. The magnet poles are generally placed so as to face the side or sides of the disc.

Winding, Lap. A method of winding disc and drum armatures. It consists in lapping back each lead of wire towards the preceding lead upon the commutator end of the armature. Thus taking the letter U as the diagrammatical representation of a turn of wire in connecting its ends to the commutator bars they are brought towards each other so as to connect with contiguous commutator bars. This carries out the principle of keeping the two members of the U moving in regions of opposite polarity of field, so that the currents induced in them shall have opposite directions, thus producing a total current in one sense through the bent wire.

Winding, Long Shunt. A system of compound winding for dynamos and motors. The field is wound in series and, in addition thereto, there is a shunt winding connected across from terminal to terminal of the machine, and which may be regarded either as a shunt to the outer circuit, or as a shunt to the series-field and armature winding. (See Winding, Short Shunt.)

Synonyms--Series and Long Shunt Winding.

Winding, Multiple. A winding of an electro-magnet, in which separate coils are wound on the core, so that one or any number may be used as desired in parallel or in series. For each coil a separate binding post should be provided.

Winding, Multipolar. Winding adapted for armatures of multi-polar dynamos or motors.

Winding, Series. A method of winding a generator or motor, in which one of the commutator-brush connections is connected to the field-magnet winding; the other end of the magnet winding connects with the outer circuit. The other armature-brush connects with the other terminal of the outer circuit.

Winding, Series and Separate Coil. A method of automatic regulation applied to alternating current dynamos.

Winding, Short Shunt. A method of compound winding for dynamos and motors. The field is wound in series, and in addition thereto there is a shunt winding connected from brush to brush only, thus paralleling the armature. (See Winding, Long Shunt.)

Synonyms--Series and Short Shunt Winding.

580 STANDARD ELECTRICAL DICTIONARY.

Winding, Shunt. A method of winding a generator or motor. Each commutator-brush has two connections. One set are the terminals of the outer circuit, the other set are the terminals of the field-magnet windings. In other words, the field-magnet windings are in shunt or in parallel with the outer circuit.

Winding, Shuttle. A method of dynamo or motor-armature winding. A single groove passes longitudinally around the core and in this the wire is continuously wound. The system is not now used. The old Siemens' H armature illustrates the principle.

Winding, Wave. A method of winding disc and drum armatures. It consists in advancing the commutator ends of the U shaped turns progressively, so that as many commutator bars intervene between any two consecutive commutator connections of the wire as there are leads of wire on the drum between consecutive leads of the wire. This is carried out with due regard to the principle that taking the letter U as the diagrammatical representation of a turn of wire, its two members must move through regions of the field of opposite polarity.

Wire Finder. A galvanometer or other instrument used for identifying the ends of a given wire in a cable containing several.

Work. When a force acts upon a body and the body moves in the direction of the force, the force does work. Hence, work is the action of a force through space against resistance.

It is generally expressed in compound units of length and weight, as foot-pounds, meaning a pound raised one foot.

Work, Electric, Unit of. The volt-coulomb, q. v., or watt-second, as it is often termed.

Working, Diode. In multiplex telegraphy the transmission of two messages, simultaneously, over one wire. (See Telegraphy, Multiple.)

Working, Contraplex. A variety of duplex telegraphy in which the messages are sent from opposite ends of the line, simultaneously, so as to be transmitted in opposite directions. (See Working, Diplex.)

Working, Diplex. In duplex telegraphy the sending of two independent messages from the same end of the line in the same direction.

581 STANDARD ELECTRICAL DICTIONARY.

Working, Double Curb. A method of working telegraph lines. When a signal is sent the line is charged. This has to be got rid of, and is an element of retardation. In double curb working it is disposed of by sending a momentary current first in the reverse, and then in the same, and finally in the reverse direction. This is found to reduce the charge to a very low point.

Working, Hexode. In multiplex telegraphy the transmission of six messages simultaneously over one wire. (See Telegraphy, Multiplex.)

Working, Pentode. In multiplex telegraphy the transmission of five messages simultaneously over one wire. (See Telegraphy, Multiplex.)

Working, Reverse Current. A method of telegraphy, in which the currents are reversed or alternated in direction.

Working, Single Curb. A simpler form of telegraph signaling than double curb working. It consists in sending a reverse current through the line for each signal by reversing the battery connection.

Working, Tetrode. In multiplex telegraphy the transmission of four messages simultaneously over the same line. (See Telegraphy, Multiplex.)

Working, Triode. In multiplex telegraphy the transmission of three messages simultaneously over the same wire. (See Telegraphy, Multiplex.)

Work, Unit of. The erg, q. v. It is the same as the unit of energy, of which work is the corelative, being equal and opposite to the energy expended in doing it. There are many other engineering units of work, as the foot-pound and foot-ton.

Yoke. In an electro-magnet, the piece of iron which connects the ends furthest from the poles of the two portions of the core on which the wire is wound.

Zamboni's Dry Pile. A voltaic pile or battery. It is made of discs of paper, silvered or tinned on one side and sprinkled on the other with binoxide of manganese. Sometimes as many as 2,000 of such couples are piled up in a glass tube and pressed together with two rods which form the terminals. They maintain a high potential difference, but having very high resistance and slight polarization capacity, give exceedingly small quantities.

Zero. (a) The origin of any scale of measurement.

(b) An infinitely small quantity or measurement.

582 STANDARD ELECTRICAL DICTIONARY.

Zero, Absolute. From several considerations it is believed that at a certain temperature the molecules of all bodies would touch each other, their kinetic motion would cease, and there would be no heat. This temperature is the absolute zero. It is put at -273° C. (-459° F.)

[Transcriber's note; The modern value is 0° Kelvin, -273.15° C, or -459.67° F. The lowest reported temperature observed is 1E-10° K.]

Zero, Potential. Conventionally, the potential of the earth. True zero potential could only exist in the surface of a body infinitely distant from other electrified bodies.

Zero, Thermometric. There are three thermometric zeros. In the Réaumur and centigrade scales, it is at the temperature of melting ice; in the Fahrenheit scale, it is 32° F. below that temperature, or corresponds to -17.78° C.

The third is the absolute zero. (See Zero, Absolute.)

Zinc is principally used in electrical work as the positive plate in voltaic batteries.

Zincode. The terminal connecting with the zinc plate, or its equivalent in an electric circuit; the negative electrode; the kathode. A term now little used.

Zinc Sender. An apparatus used in telegraphy for sending a momentary reverse current into the line after each signal, thus counteracting retardation.

Zone, Peripolar. In medical electricity, the region surrounding the polar zone, q. v.
