Title: Improvements relating to the Production of Magnetic or Electric Fields applicable for Changing the Frequency of Alternating Currents and for other purposes.
Inventor: PLOHL MIROSLAV
IPC: H03B19/03
Filed: 1912-07-05
Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 15,774. Plohl, M. July 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Frequency, changing. -In apparatus for producing magnetic or electric fields of constant direction and periodically varying intensity, in which direct and alternating currents co-operate, the direct and alternating current windings G1, W1, Fig. 1, are arranged side by side or opposite each other in such a way that during one half of the alternating-current wave the fields are in' the same direction, and during the other half they are opposed and produce a field across the air space, as shown by the dotted lines. This flux is always in the same direction and exists during one half of each wave. By using two such rings, R1, R2, Fig. 2, having a common secondary S wound on a core K, and arranging the windings in such a way that the flux issues alternately from the two rings, but in the same direction, a current having twice the frequency of the supply current is produced in the secondary. This current may have its frequency doubled in the same way, and so on indefinitely; but in order to simplify the apparatus, the arrangement shown in Fig. 3 is adopted, in which W1, W2 are the alternating-current windings, S the secondary, and E the supply alternator, the direct-current windings not being shown. The shunt circuits A1, A2 &c. are tuned to the frequencies 2n, 4n, 8n, 16n, &c., where n is the alternator frequency. The currents of frequency 2n induced in the secondary S pass through the circuit A1 to the windings W1, W2, thus inducing currents of frequency 4n in the winding S, which pass through the shunt A back to the windings W1, W2, and so on. With the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, currents of a frequency 32n can be taken from the transformer T. The apparatus shown in Fig. 1 can also be used to transform the waves received in wireless telegraphy from an alternating form to a series of half-waves in the same direction, which can directly influence a telephone or polarised relay.
