He investigated nuclear disintegration and made his reputation with the design of heavy high-voltage apparatus.
Such work may include, but not be limited to: operation of a motor vehicle or freight elevator; use of flammable, toxic, or radioactive materials, or explosives; work under certain physical circumstances such as confined spaces and certain heights; work with high-voltage apparatus; or any other activity which may be deemed restricted by the Environment, Health and Safety Office.
Radium researchers and medical physicists themselves deplored the "gigantism" of the new high-voltage apparatus and the "subjugation" of the patient to the machine, arguing that in their desire for X rays of greater penetrating power, radiologists were losing sight of the most important principle of successful treatment: "Primum non nocere".
The results are expected to be applicable to the design of current leads for high voltage superconducting apparatuses.
In general, the current leads of high voltage superconducting apparatuses cooled by liquid nitrogen are exposed to gaseous insulation media.
High voltage (HV) power apparatus determines the stability of any electrical power system.
Therefore, the investigation on the electrical breakdown characteristics of gaseous insulation media should be performed to develop electrically reliable high voltage superconducting power apparatuses.
Bird realised this, but continued to divide his apparatus into electrical machines, which (according to him) delivered a high voltage at low current, and galvanic apparatus, which delivered a high current at low voltage.
Fig. 1 The illustration of the system for synthesis of nanostructures under electric field: 1 ejector jet pump, 2 syringe, 3 perfusion tube, 4 entry needle, 5 stainless steel vessel, 6 magnetic stirrer, 7 electric wire, 8 magnetic stirring apparatus, and 9 high voltage power.
The electrical conductivity under strong electrical fields was measured with the SHP-2 (short high-voltage pulse) apparatus.
