NOW we have the interesting an
nouncement of a million volts, which
the General Electric company has
just achieved. While electricity, as
these tests show, can undoubtedly be
transmitted in large bulk, if desired.
for possibly thousands of miles, it is
probable that the millions of horse
power available at various poin 81
such as Niagara. for example would
find a market and be consumed thin
a few hundred miles of their source"
The big problem II transmitting a
million volts of electricity, which, as
Mr.. Peek pointed out, has been worry
ing engineers, was to confine the cur
rent to the wires. The loss of some
of the current. through leakage into
the surrounding air, was an ever
present possibility. This takes place by
what is known as corona, which forms
a crown of light around the wires
similar In appearance to, and Of the
same general nature as, an aurora, or
northern lights.
High Towers VIII Be Necessary
But in the notable tests just made
it was discovered that wires four or
more inches in diameter would and did
carry a million volta without serious
loss.

sent this unheard of voltage from one
point to another in the laboratory.
The most important point connected
with the tests was the addition thereby
of new knowledge to the long and con
slant study of high voltage phenomena
already made. Upon this new knowledge
calculations can be based for the ex-
tension Of long distance transmission.
THE highest standardized voltage at
present is 100000 volts" said DR..
Steinmetz. I'VE will not stop there. We
will go higher.
One million volts, however, is so far
beyond the comprehension of the ordi-
nary layman that it Is interesting to
recall how rapidly high voltage devel-
opment in this country has progre led.
1t is about 40 years since Edison first
transmitted electricity at constant volt
age.
He used 10 volts and later go
volts. At this pressure, electricity can
be sent economically for about a mile.
In these 40 years, a pressure just a
thousand times greater than that which
was considered the safest pressure
when Edison began his experiments
has been attained-that of 10000
volts. This voltage is to be transmit
ted $50 miles, and il to be utilized in
California.

, sion at this giddy voltage ever arrive,
hollow tubes would probably be found
more economical, and just as effective,
according to the predictions of the en-
g~ineers. 1t would also be found essen
tial to build the high tension trans
mission lines for carrying 100000
volts on high towers, to keep them
away from the zone of approach which
would be dangerous to human life.
apparatus in which the Pittsfield labor
latory specializes-were used in the Gre
alton Of the 1000, OOO-yolt current.
This current, generated at the com
pany's power plant in Pittsfield, il
about the same as is sent over feed
wires in any city.
By means of the transformers,
which were Of standard design, the
current was stepped up gradually
from n point to another, far into the
hundreds of thousands of volts, un-
til at length it was seething across the
gap st 100000 volts. In fact, the
actual measured voltage was well be-
yond the desired goal. 1t exceeded
the 1,0OO,OO0-volt point by 10000
a wide enough margin to make GER
tain that the summit, as it has hith-
erto been. was reached.
fFduStUFm6FS AT6 Stmpt6
By using transformers, the engineers
attained the enormous voltage de-
scribed through the electromagnetic
induction method. as distinguished from
the actual creation of electric current
by a generator. The transformers that
did the trick. like all apparatus Of
their kind, are amazingly simple. No
machinery operates within them. no
wheels turn, no mechanical action of
any sort takes place.
They do their work merely by one Of
the mysterious processes of electricity,
which man has discovered and devel-
oped. A transformer, in its simplest
form, is just an iron core around which
are wound two lengths of wire, one
on top of the other, each thoroughly
insulated.
The wire on the inside is known az
the current-carrying, or primary, wire
The one on the outside is the secondary
wire. the wire in which current is 10 be
induced. Every current-carrying wire
is surrounded by q field of magnetism;
and in the case of the transformer.
when this magnetic field of the primary
wire cuts the conductor of the Sec
ondary wire, electricity is induced IN
the latter.
By winding the secondary wire
around the core 10 times, the primary
wire being wound around but once.
the voltage of the current produced
in the secondary wire becomes 10
times greater han that in the primarv
wire. Thus. if the current entered the
transformer az go volts, it would came
out at 900 volts.
This is the principle by which the
General Electric engineers "stepneS
up" a voltage of 1000 volts to one Of
100000 volts, thereby ambitiously an
p%roaching the magnitude of a lightning
flash, which is thought to contain about
80, 100000 volts.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-09-10

realized the triumph of 80 years of ex-
periments. Current transmission at
100000 volts, for the first time in
human history, was an accomplishment.
Paves Way for Development
In the group of scientific men eagerly
absorbed in the weird spectacle before
them were skilled experts in electrical
transmission work, engineers who have
given themselves u~ngrudgingly to pa
tent experimentation. The manager of
the Pittsfield works, Cummings c..
Chesney, saw the tests with the keen
est interest, for he was one of three
electrical engineers who established
the Pittsfield plant in 1891, and re-
called the production of 5000 volts In
that year-which was in itself thought
to be remarkable at that time.
The million-volt tests were conduct
ed by f. w. Peek, Jr., laboratory di-
rector; G.. Faccioli, works engineer,
and w. s. Moody, transformer engi-
neer. All three have been experiment
ing with high voltage transmission
problems in the Pittsfield, laboratory.
And all three of them are confident
that the transmission of current at
one million volts has it's practical side.
They paved the way for a mighty devel-
in electrical usage when they

A STOUNDING as it may seem, the
"A age of artificial lightning appears
to be at hand. The most ire
mendous demonstration of electricity
that has ever been achieved by man
is now on record, and its particular
dazzling feat was the transmission of
current at one million volts.
This is nearly five times the highest
voltage ever before placed on a trans
mission line. 1t is one-fiftieth of the
voltage which a flash of lightning is
estimated to contain.
1t is positively mans nearest ap-
proach yet to actually duplicating
lightning, according to DIR. Charles r.
Steinmetz, famous consulting engineer
of the General Electric company.
The remarkable tests in which a
million volts were reached took place
recently at the high voltage engineering
laboratory of the General Electric com
pany at Pittsfield, Mass. On the aft
ernoon of the test, after a period of
preliminary purrings of high voltages,

Knocking on Wood
for Luck Originated
With Danish Sailors

The phrase knock wood comes
from an old Danish myth. Here is the
authentic origin: According to Danish
tradition, whenever an old Danish sea
captain was about to start on a long
journey in his wooden vessel, he would
tap on the side of his ship and stand
silently by. 1t was a superstition that
the elves of the forest would come OUT
to bless his ship because it held mil
lions of their kind in its timbers.
Whatever the cause, Danish ships
submitted to this quaint ritual seemed
to acquire immunity from the perils
of the sea, SO the superstition be-
came q custom.
And the old idea has come down to
modern times. That is why a
knocks OF wood" whenever he dose
not want bis luck to desert him. 1
