I refilled the wineglass and took it with me for a nice long bubble bath, where I settled in with Ambrose's guide for low-voltage outdoor lighting.It wasn't thrilling bubble-bath reading material, but I was impressed by his imagination. You wouldn't know from the writing that he'd never actually seen a low-voltage lighting system in someone's yard, much less installed one himself. His descriptions were clear, colorful, and written with authority. The inscription wasn't bad either: To Natalie, You're a high-voltage system as far as I am concerned. By Lee Goldberg Ambrose Bath Material Imagination Lowvoltage

There was no onenothing else in the worldthat had this unbelievable effect on him: thrilling electrification. But just as soon as he acknowledged this gift, he sought to destroy it. By Galt Niederhoffer Thrilling Electrification Onenothing Worldthat Unbelievable

Neuroscientists talk a lot about brain circuits. In fact, the word 'circuit' is probably misleading. We do not know where most circuits begin and end. And unlike an electrical circuit, brain connections are heavily reciprocal and recursive, so that a direction of information flow can be inferred but sometimes not proven. By Thomas R. Insel Neuroscientists Talk Lot Brain Circuits

Creativity works on a winding, circuitous route. By Gail Z. Martin Creativity Winding Circuitous Route Works

Money is indispensable to a long-circuit heavy load energy system. It must be used when a sufficient surplus is being produced to allow a margin for exchange, and cost of transport, over a considerable distance. Money represents a storage battery when idle, and a generalized mode of the conversion of energy when it is in motion, with a function of equating time and space. By Isabel Paterson Money System Indispensable Longcircuit Heavy

The transistor was a small plastic unit that would take us from a world of static bricks piled on top of each other to a world where everything was interactive. By Ayah Bdeir World Interactive Transistor Small Plastic

I go from chords to cords, amped to amps. By Rachel Cohn Cords Amped Amps Chords

The network of trenches and artillery below shows itself very clearly for a moment, and Werner feels he is gazing down into the circuitry of an enormous radio, each soldier down there an electron flowing single file down his own electrical path, with no more say in the matter than an electron has. By Anthony Doerr Electron Werner Moment Radio Path

It will do us little good to wire the world if we short circut our souls. There is no delete button for racism, poverty, or sectarian violence. No key stroke can ever clean the air, save a river, preserve a forest. This transformational new technology must be an extension of our hearts as well as of our mind. By Tom Brokaw Souls Good Wire World Short

By Kurt Vonnegut Hummings Electrons Truth Clickings Heardthe

Looking ahead to future applications of electronics, [de Forest] grew even gloomier. He believed that 'electron physiologists' would eventually be able to monitor and analyze 'thought or brain waves', allowing 'joy and grief to be measured in define, quantitative unit.' Ultimately, he concluded, 'a professor may be able to implant knowledge into the reluctant brains of his 22nd century pupils. What terrifying political possibilities may be lurking there! Let us be thankful that such things are only for posterity, not for us. By Nicholas Carr Forest Electronics Grew Gloomier Ahead

Something was wrong with the devices themselves. Digging deep into the internal structure of the circuit boards with powerful microscopes, Simon's team had discovered broken and incorrect connections, electronic dead-ends, short circuits, and nonsensical pathways. By A. Ashley Straker Wrong Devices Simon Digging Microscopes

There's an electrical thing about movies. By Oliver Stone Movies Electrical Thing

She looked down a slope, needing to squint for the sunlight, onto a vast sprawl of houses which had grown up all together, like a well-tended crop, from the dull brown earth; and she thought of the time she'd opened a transistor radio to replace a battery and seen her first printed circuit. The ordered swirl of houses and streets, from this high angle, sprang at her now with the same unexpected, astonishing clarity as the circuit card had. Though she knew even less about radios than about Southern Californians, there were to both outward patterns a hieroglyphic sense of concealed meaning, of an intent to communicate. There'd seemed no limit to what the printed circuit could have told her (if she had tried to find out); so in her first minute of San Narciso, a revelation also trembled just past the threshold of her understanding. By Thomas Pynchon Circuit Houses Slope Needing Sunlight

They were bodies electric. By Maggie Stiefvater Electric Bodies

My younger brother will remember that he received a transistor radio for Christmas. I took it apart and it never worked again. By Stephen Elop Christmas Younger Brother Remember Received

Voltage is measured in volts. Current is measured in amperes. Resistance is measured in ohms. One volt is the electrical pressure required to cause 1 ampere of current to flow through a resistance of 1 ohm. Scientists have made experiments which show that 6280 trillion electrons pass a given point each second when there is 1 ampere of current in a circuit. By Tsd Training Measured Voltage Current Ampere Resistance

Describe a circle, stroke its back and it turns vicious. By Eugene Ionesco Describe Circle Stroke Vicious Back

In 1746 a French scientist, Jean-Antoine Nollet, was interested in how fast electricity could be transmitted. Nollet, a monk, persuaded nearly two hundred other monks to form a circle nearly a kilometer in circumference. The monks were connected by pieces of iron. This metal-and-human chain was connected to a primitive battery (consisting of Leyden jars). When the battery was discharged, every monk was shocked at almost the same time. Clearly electricity traveled very fast. This experiment helped pave the way for others to explore ways electric currents might be useful for communication. By Ronald T. Merrill French Nollet Scientist Jeanantoine Transmitted

I could see the corridor window, where the wires-six thin black wires-were doing their best to slant up, to ascend skyward, despite the lightning blows dealt them by one telegraph pole after another; but just as all six, in a triumphant swoop of pathetic elation, were about to reach the top of the window, a particularly vicious blow would bring them down, as low as they had ever been, and they would have to start all over again. By Vladimir Nabokov Window Skyward Elation Corridor Wiressix

Power should be a check on power. By Baron De Montesquieu Power Check

TESLA'S CAT[Nikola Tesla's favorite childhood companion] was the family's black cat, Macak. Macak followed young Nikola everywhere, and they spent many happy hours rolling on the grass. It was Macak the cat who introduced Tesla to electricity on a dry winter evening. "As I stroked Macak's back," he recalled, "I saw a miracle that made me speechless with amazement. Macak's back was a sheet of light and my hand produced a shower of sparks loud enough to be heard all over the house." Curious, he asked his father what caused the sparks. Puzzled at first, [his father] finally answered, "Well, this is nothing but electricity, the same thing you see through the trees in a storm." His father's answer, equating the sparks with lightning, fascinated the young boy. As Tesla continued to stroke Macak, he began to wonder, "Is nature a gigantic cat? If so, who strokes its back? It can only be God," he concluded. By W. Bernard Carlson Macak Nikola Tesla Cat Back

The brain is a little saline pool that acts as a conductor, and it runs on electricity. By Judith Hooper Conductor Electricity Brain Saline Pool

The two great agents of the physical world have become subject to the will of man and have been made subservient to his wants and enjoyments; I allude to steam and electricity, under whatever name the latter may be called. By John C. Calhoun Enjoyments Electricity Called Great Agents

Ladies and gentlemen, today we're here to honor electricity, the charge that charges everything from those electrons snapping in our brain to our father the sun. What's the sun It's kind of like a brain. Electromagnetic field, solar flares sparking back and forth from those nerve cells. We're all one, folks, giant blobs of electricity, all of us. Positive & negative, electromagnetic fields just circling each other. Positive, negative, north, south, male and female. Looking for that electric moment. Magnet to magnet, opposites attract. By Robin Green Positive Negative Ladies Gentlemen Today

No matter what the power source is, a sinusoidal pattern will always remain the same. Similarly, our lives have a certain pattern and that's of happiness and sorrow. We feel that we are in control of things and everything is going according to plan but life is again following a pattern. By Ackshat Deoli Pattern Matter Power Source Sinusoidal

All that happens in the human brain is but the result of electro-chemical reactions. Be it of love, hate, of pleasure, of suffering, of imagination, or all other states of mind, sentiment or sickness; the process depends in every case on the chemical reactions produced in the interior of the brain, and the resulting electrical impulses or messages, be they visual, auditory, based on memory, or an interpretation of new events based on elements that one has in the memory. By Rael Brain Reactions Memory Human Result

Hold these wires and make sure they don't touch.""What happens if they touch?""The ship will probably self-destruct. By Marissa Meyer Hold Touch Touch Selfdestruct Wires

All power corrupts, but we need electricity By Diana Wynne Jones Corrupts Electricity Power

To what part of electrical science are we not indebted to Faraday? He has increased our knowledge of the hidden and unknown to such an extent, that all subsequent writers are compelled so frequently to mention his name and quote his papers, that the very repetition becomes monotonous. [How] humiliating it may be to acknowledge so great a share of successful investigation to one man ... By Alfred Smee Faraday Part Electrical Science Indebted

This is a highly reliable power source. Being a large credit card processor, doing $6 million an hour in transactions, our computers have to work. By Dennis Hughes Source Highly Reliable Power Processor

In the 1920s, a generation before the coming of solid-state electronics, one could look at the circuits and see how the electron stream flowed. Radios had valves, as though electricity were a fluid to be diverted by plumbing. With the click of the knob came a significant hiss and hum, just at the edge of audibility. By James Gleick Electronics Flowed Generation Coming Solidstate

All the electronic devices are powered by white smoke. When smoke goes out, device is dead. By Milan Nikolic Smoke Electronic Powered White Dead

It is exciting to discover electrons and figure out the equations that govern their movement; it is boring to use those principles to design electric can openers. From here on out, it's all can openers. By Neal Stephenson Openers Movement Exciting Discover Electrons

Theodore Berger, for example, a neural engineer at the University of Southern California, is working on an artificial hippocampus, one of the core neuronal structures implicated in this process. Berger's device records the electrical activity that arises whenever we encode short-term memories - for example, learning to play scales - then translates them into digital signals. By Steven Kotler California University Southern Theodore Hippocampus

The real art of conducting consists in transitions. By Gustav Mahler Transitions Real Art Conducting Consists

It is not enough to wire the world if you short-circuit the soul. Technology without heart is not enough. By Tom Brokaw Soul Wire World Shortcircuit Technology

These wires run a current through it. When we press the one and the nine at the same time, the current runs through the diamond and it emits a pulse that we can't hear or feel, but it...""Explodes ghosts.""I prefer to think that it disperses the vestigial energy that an individual leaves behind after death.""Or that," I said. By Maureen Johnson Current Wires Explodes Run Runs

You think the whole electrical system is fried?" Chuck said, "Good possibility." "That would mean fences." Chuck picked up an apple as it floated onto his foot. He went into a windup and kicked his leg and fired it into the wall. "Stee-rike one!" He turned to Teddy. "That would mean fences, yes. By Dennis Lehane Fried Good Fences Chuck Electrical

Ampere was the Newton of Electricity. By James C. Maxwell Electricity Newton Ampere

Electric light!" I said. We'd never had electric light at home, just gaslight and candles, and the only taps were in the kitchen and the back scullery. "Well, this is good!" said Ma. "Daisy, when we get to New York I won't want to get off this ship!" By midday I didn't know if she'd even get out of her bunk. It was a nice enough day and not a bit stormy, but the rocking of the ship in the water made her queasy before we even started moving. The boys wanted to go on deck so I had to go with them, and we joined the masses of third-class passengers climbing up to the fresh air. By Margi Mcallister Electric Light Ship Daisy York

In photographs taken from the sky, cities resembled circuit boards. It was no surprise, really, that there were sparky misfirings, dangerous connections. Even traffic, Alice concluded, set up a kind of static in the air, let loose vibrations and uncontainable agitation. Freighted with more than they could absorb, with city intentions, citizens moved in designs of inexplicable purpose. By Gail Jones Sky Cities Boards Photographs Resembled

A basic truth that the history of the creation of the transistor reveals is that the foundations of transistor electronics were created by making errors and following hunches that failed to give what was expected. By William Shockley Transistor Expected Basic Truth History

With electricity we were wired into a new world, for electricity brought the radio, a "crystal set" and with enough ingenuity, one could tickle the crystal with a cat's whisker and pick up anything. By Theodore White Electricity Crystal World Radio Set
