My Italian Chapter 95

Carlo is completely ignorant of the Prime Minister's thoughts now, but he has been very fulfilled recently, discussing national affairs during the day and discussing personal affairs at night, so it shouldn't be too comfortable.

The only thing that's not good is that my legs are a little weak after a long time. But Carroll is in it, youth is the capital, and he can come back after a few days of rest.

In this way, the time came to 1885. First of all, the Sino-French war came to an end, the governments of both countries signed and ratified the peace treaty, and the smoke of gunpowder over the Far East was completely dissipated.

And the conference on Africa in Berlin also ended. In this conference, Italy only gained the sphere of influence of the Greater Somalia region of East Africa. This has little impact on Italy, because at present Italy simply does not have the strength to carry out the next colonial development immediately. After all, the losses in Tunisia and Italy were heavy, and everyone must be slowed down.

But even so, Carlo still received good news.

"What, the development of a practical alternating current system was successful?"

Facing the surprise on Carlo's face, the captain of the guard, Filimic, who was in charge of conveying the news, was a little surprised but nodded, although he didn't know the research and development of this alternating current, what was worthy of the king's attention.

"Prepare the car, we'll go to Marino right away."

Carlo didn't have time to explain to his chief guard the importance of the practicality of alternating current to Italy, because his heart had already flown to Marino, and he was impatient to see practical alternating current.

When Carlo arrived at the Marino Electric Experiment Center, he immediately saw Tesla and Argos waiting for him at the gate. It seemed that they had already figured out the temperament of their king and knew that at this time, they were waiting for him. will definitely appear.

"Carlo, we succeeded."

Tesla, who had an excited face, rarely showed off.

"Yes, we changed the times."

Unexpectedly, Carlo is more flamboyant than him.

Well, the two flamboyant young people hugged when they approached.

"Take me to see it, now I can't wait to see it, practical AC."

Seeing Carlo's impatient expression, Tesla was very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, please bring it to me."

The group came to the laboratory, and saw Tesla pointing to a circle of connected instruments. "Your Majesty, this is the practical alternating current system I developed."

"Can you introduce me?"

Looking at the various objects in front of him, Carlo intends to listen to Tesla's introduction.

"Happy to serve, Your Majesty."

"As long as people who do electric power research know the difference between alternating current and direct current, the direct current is stable but the transmission distance will cause huge waste, so the transmission distance is very limited."

Of course Carlo knew this, otherwise Edison, who was so prosperous in the United States, would have built a power station every 1 km.

Since direct current has the reason for the high construction cost, why do people not use alternating current? It is also helpless. Although alternating current has the advantages of long transmission distance and low loss, the magnitude and direction of its fluctuating current have changed, so that the current The motor can't be used at all.

In fact, when the current changes direction, the magnetic field subsequently changes its strength and direction, so the motor inevitably stops turning.

In the face of this thorny problem, Tesla has come up with a new solution. "Look, Your Majesty, this is an AC motor I designed."

He pointed to a motor that looked similar to a DC motor and said. "I added electromagnet windings that generate a stable magnetic field in this motor, which allows the motor to have a constant magnetic field. This allows the normal use of alternating current in the motor."

Obviously, Tesla also knows where the major electricity consumers are. Although the lighting is currently used to make people feel the use of electricity, the major electricity consumers have always been factories.

Obviously, Tesla also knows that only by taking over the factory can the AC system be used on a large scale.

Of course, apart from this AC motor, he is similar to the AC equipment of later generations, but because it is a laboratory, there is also a lack of equipment for raising and lowering voltage.

Of course, the transformer is already available now. The French Lucien Golar and the English John Gibbs showed the device to the public at an exposition in London two years ago.

Of course, Tesla has not only developed AC motors in the past three years. Because of its fluctuating characteristics, Tesla has specially developed many gadgets according to its characteristics to overcome it.

Tesla will briefly introduce these gadgets, but Carlo can still see his complacent mind.

After listening to his introduction, Carlo looked at the great power researcher in front of him. "Nikola, what are your thoughts on high-power AC motors?"

When it comes to his major, Tesla said directly. "This is not complicated. In fact, the design of high-power AC motors is not complicated. I don't think there are many problems at this point."

"What about large, high-power and high-frequency AC motors?"

Carlo's question stopped Tesla, which is not an easy question to answer.

Carlo looked at the Tesla in front of him and was not impatient at all. This man is famous for developing motors in this area, so he shouldn't be stumped.

Don't blame Carlo for squeezing Tesla so quickly. Although he can wait, the Italian industry can't wait. The current speed of Italian industrial development does not satisfy him. If he wants to develop by leaps and bounds, he can only embrace electrification.

The prerequisite for electrification requires the use of large amounts of cheap electricity, and large, high-power and high-frequency AC motors are the top priority~www.mtlnovel.com~ Because this can greatly reduce electricity bills and make More factories use motors.

Carlo had his own considerations on this point, and he immediately opened his mouth to Tesla. "I hope that the research can be divided into two categories, one is ordinary industrial motors, and the other is practical high-power and high-efficiency generators."

"This problem won't be too big, but what other requirements do you have for the generator?"

"Of course, the higher the better, but I also know that this is impossible, so let's take a 5,000-horsepower, 2.2KV generator as the standard."

Of course, Carlo wouldn't want the horse to run and not let the horse graze, he continued. "I will invest 20 million lire to build a company specializing in the production of this type of motor. I have already thought about the name, it will be called Westinghouse Electric Company, Tesla, your contribution can be seen by everyone, so you will own 10% of the company's earnings."

In the face of Carlo's generosity, how could Tesla refuse, but I feel a little embarrassed to agree like this.

When Tesla was twisting, Carlo immediately made a decision for him. "We decided like this, who made us friends, I can't let my friends suffer."

He wouldn't let this person spend the rest of his life as destitute as in his previous life, but he would never let him wander freely. You must know that this wave is also unparalleled, such as wireless power transmission, or let alone Italy, even the British government is not enough to watch.

Later, after talking with Tesla for a while, Carlo even invited him to have lunch. Of course, he did not pull down the rest of the laboratory, and gave enough rewards.

With the grateful eyes of the staff of the Marino Experiment Center, Carlo left contentedly.
