When it is driven by the engine it generates a high tension current of electricity which will jump between the ends of two wires ⅛ inch apart, and this makes a spark.
Mr. Abel devised a high tension fuze, which in 1858 was extensively experimented with; the Beardslee and Von Ebner fuze being based upon the principles applied for the first time in Abel's fuze.
The Austrians employed this form of high tension fuze in connection with a frictional machine for the electrical mines used in their defence of Venice, &c.
The Pulse= There is nothing characteristic about the pulse of a person suffering from arteriosclerosis, except it be the difference in the pulse of high tension and of low tension.
Arteriosclerosis can scarcely be considered apart from blood pressure, and in the view expressed within, with which some may not concur, high tension is considered to be a large factor in the production of arteriosclerosis.
The pulse ofhigh tension has a gradual rise, a more or less rounded apex, and the dicrotic wave is slightly marked and occurs about half-way down on the descending limb.
It is used ordinarily for insulating an ammeter, a current relay, the current coil of a watt meter or watt hour meter from a high tension circuit, for reducing the line current to a value suitable for these instruments.
This is not the case with a high tension current, where it will leap across and produce the flash known as the jump spark.
Now this latter condition is just what is necessary to give a high tension.
Two wires side by side do not have the appearance of a coil, and even though such an arrangement might make a high tension current, it would be difficult to apply.
The effect of heat in increasing the conducting power of many substances, especially for electricity of high tension, is well known.
I was anxious, in the first place, to obtain some idea of the conducting power of ice and solid salts for electricity of high tension (392.
The power of particles of dust to carry off electricity in cases of high tension is well known, and I have already mentioned some instances of the kind in the use of the inductive apparatus (1201.
In the experiments to this end a high tension induction coil or equivalent apparatus for converting currents of comparatively low into currents of high tension is used.
In cases of high tension, even a simple sclerectomy will allow ample filtration, owing to the gaping of the wound, while in cases without elevation of the tension, sclerectomy will be quite ineffectual.
In India I have gone farther than this, and where one eye has shown high tension, I have frequently trephined both.
As an inventor Tesla is best known as a pioneer in high tension currents.
Such is the action of Tesla's high tension currents, only he directs them by induction just as he wants them to go.
The upper wire runs from the spark gap to the aerial, and the lower runs through a battery of Leyden jars, through a high tension transformer (as does the other side of the circuit), and thence to the ground.
By applying the hand to the different parts of the machine if low tension, or a thermometer if high tension, and also by a smell of overheated insulation, paint, or varnish.
This should be done very cautiously, especially in case of a high tension machine.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "high tension" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
