This idea of the oscillating current was closely akin to that which was at last to lead to an entirely satisfactory solution: that is, to a solution which is founded on the properties of electric waves.
In all these experiments occurs the idea of employing an oscillating current.
Mr Airy's Objections to the Investigation of the Resistance of the Atmosphere to an Oscillating Sphere.
Investigation of the Resistance of the Air to an Oscillating Sphere.
Could you see the air through which sound-waves are passing, you would observe every individual particle of air oscillating to and fro, in the direction of propagation.
All space is filled with matter oscillating at such rates.
Then we had oscillating engines working a large geared wheel fitted with wooden teeth to increase the revolutions of the propeller.
The sea-gulls oscillatingtheir bodies, the hay-boat in the twilight, and the belated lighter?
For the moment the eye is dazzled; a myriad of multicolored fans are fluttering like fabulous butterflies; there are unimagined combinations of insolent hues; a multitude of rainbows oscillating in a deluge of light.
From the ceiling came flood after flood of fused, intermingled and oscillating colors.
He tested this bulb and that, and carefully inspected the curious oscillating platform, over which was suspended a thickly bunched group of gray-green wire, which was seemingly an antenna.
He had got down from the oscillating platform, the spirit of her son in Ramsey's body.
Then, she feared the professor was insane, for he suddenly leaped to the high bench of the table on which stood one of the oscillating platforms.
This film, however, is broken by the oscillating currents from the antenna, so that as long as they are coming the battery current can flow, but as soon as they cease the battery current stops itself again.
It is really a conductor, yet it does not behave as ordinary conductors do, and the result is that the continuous current flowing through the arc is accompanied by an oscillating current in the shunt circuit.
And these alternating and oscillating currents need to be measured just as the direct currents do.
Thus the flowing and stopping of the oscillating currents is exactly copied by the current from the battery, which current is led through a telephone or a sensitive galvanometer.
It may occur to readers to inquire why the oscillating currents are not passed direct to a galvanometer.
In some few cases a Duddell thermo-galvanometer has been employed as the detector, in which the oscillating currents report themselves directly.
One suggested explanation is that the oscillating currents heat the particles and so partially weld them together.
The answer is that because they are oscillating a very sensitive galvanometer is not possible.
These receive oscillating motion by reason of the eccentric connecting rod, &c.
The stuffing box of an oscillating engine is made deeper than usual because the gland bore has more strain on it, and extra wearing surface is therefore required to prevent its wearing oval.
By this means motion and power is given to the eccentric, which carries back and forth the lower end of the oscillating frame H; this gives vertical motion to the springs G G, and this imparts corresponding motion to the beam F.
Oscillating engines are used for paddle steamers, because their construction permits of a good length of piston stroke, while still keeping the engine low down in the vessel.
An oscillating engine is one in which the cylinder is mounted on bearings called trunnions, so that the cylinder can swing and keep its bore and the piston pointing to the crank at all parts of the engine revolution.
The valve motion for an oscillating engine consists of an ordinary eccentric gear or motion, with the addition of various mechanical arrangements to accommodate the valve gear to the vibrating motion of the valve chest.
Of Hartley's hypothetical vibrations in his hypothetical oscillating ether of the nerves, which is the first and most obvious distinction between his system and that of Aristotle, I shall say little.
It tries to hold the disk F in a fixed position, but is disturbed by the action of the escape wheel and is constantly oscillating the disk in its effort to bring it back to its normal position.
With this kind of discharger I have been able to maintain an oscillating motion without any spark being visible with the naked eye between the knobs, and they would not show a very appreciable rise in temperature.
He showed also a very interesting method of making a connection with the oscillating magnet.
In passing the oscillating discharges through the primary of a specially constructed coil, it is easy to obtain enormous potential differences with only few turns of the secondary.
This engine has oscillating cylinders placed between the driving-wheels.
The more consideration I give to the subject the more disposed I am to adopt oscillating engines for both screw and paddles.
At the lower end of this pendulum was attached a brush which was filled with paint; and as soon as the model cradle moved, the pendulum was set oscillating by a self-acting trigger arrangement.
Advantages of oscillating engines for both screw and paddle engines (p.
This dihedral angle, it will be remembered, is one of the principles discarded by the Wright brothers early in their experiments as one that tended to keep the machine oscillating from side to side.
The rattle of the oscillating petticoats had distracted his own mind from a nice calculation as to the amount of a bill for a fractional amount of citron at a fractional increase in the market-price.
Since then oscillating cylinders have been invented which do away with the necessity of connecting-rods, but in those days the placing of the connecting-rod near the cylinder was thought a triumph of engineering.
The horizon, a confused mass of strata, oscillating ceaselessly, murmurs in a continual undertone.
These are theoscillating grinders," said Mary, raising her voice above the skirling symphony.
This washer contains an oscillating device for rubbing the clothes over the corrugated bottom.
The plungers of all the line switches in a group of twenty-five are, therefore, subject to the oscillating movements of the master bar when the line is not connected to a first selector trunk.
A detailed group of several such line switches with the oscillating master bar is shown in Fig.
The to-and-fro movement of this oscillating shaft, called the master bar, is controlled by a master switch and the function of this master switch is always to keep the plungers pointed toward the row of contacts of an idle trunk.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "oscillating" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
