Kent wrote this book over a number of years with the idea of sharing his love for all things electrical with his family and friends so they would better understand the wonder of electricity. The book is written to give a basic understanding of how electrical power is produced. It is designed for anyone interested in learning what makes our everyday electrical devices work as well as how electrical power is seen in nature. The book includes information on fundamental concepts, conduction of electricity, electricity and magnetism, electricity and light, production of power, basic electrical parts, electrical machines, semiconductor devices, and ends with a brief history of the origins of our current electrical system.
关于作者
Kent Mickelson was born in Texas and lived there most of his life. He grew up fascinated by the power of electricity and by the 4th grade had started putting together crystal radio kits. Since then he has made a myriad of other electronic devices, some just for fun, others with a functional purpose. He attended the University of Texas at Austin, graduating with a B. S. degree in Electrical Engineering, and was elected to membership in both Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu engineering honor societies. He worked for IBM for 34 years, much of that as a Registered Professional Engineer, and is now retired. Kent has also enjoyed woodworking and sharing his Christian faith through stained glass windows he designed and created, marketing them through his business Creative Light Filtering Company. One of those windows titled “GOD in Charge” can be seen on this book cover.
