I would be thrilled if you could locate that as per YouTube or otherwise. In fact any videos on the pioneers of power distribution / power generation would be great!There's even a film about it, which is quite interesting.
Much thanks!

Fair enough, do you thus think the definition of comeback and the subsequent viewpoint to be incorrect?
In any case, and outside of the silliness at hand, if you have any info in regard to the topic at hand, I would be more than pleased to read it and respond in kind.

Ah....because I use the word in the relative sense and not the absolute sense, as such my text indicates this context.......so how can something make a comeback if it hasn't gone out of usage.
Not really true - there was an ongoing battle between Edison and Westinghouse - one DC and one AC. Both were trying to prove the others system was the most dangerous - including various barbaric displays in the streets. The invention of the electric chair was just another stunt to try and discredit the rivel system.
There's even a film about it, which is quite interesting.
Not so! In one major way DC is more difficult to work with.
Given the same heating effect when making the comparison, and given the same volts and amps when making the comparison, the DC arc will be herder to quench than the AC arc. Thus the switch gear and arc suppression must be more robust for the equivalent DC system.
Why you might ask? Because DC is steady state yet AC falls to zero twice per cycle.
Sorry guys but that's dog pucky! All things being equal in that we are talking about the same voltages and currents vis-à-vis RMS equivalence, then AC has more transmission losses than DC. Clearly you guys have never heard of AC Effective Resistance.
And in any case it's current not voltage that is often the higher function of specific losses due to I squared Z.
Sadly you are sorely confused on a number of issues, some of which are:Sorry Chumly but DC transmission loss is greater than AC. If what you say is true, Edison would have won his spout with Westinghouse. But that didn't happen because of the poor transmission efficiency of DC. Heavier cables were needed, as well as more stations to boost the power back up to exceptable levels (about every mile). ACs effieciency is far superior to DC. That's why it is used.

I can't be responsible should you wish to apply the word outside the context of my text! Well I could take said responsibility but I won't (insert punchline).
My Waffle Ommeter has just gone off the scale.!
How wrong you are! In fact magnetic amplifiers might make a comeback and magnetism itself is far from being fully understood.
"The magnetic amplifier is important to many phases of naval engineering because it provides a rugged, trouble-free device that has many applications aboard ship and in aircraft. These applications include throttle controls on the main engines of ships; speed, frequency, voltage, current, and temperature controls on auxiliary equipment; and fire control, servomechanisms, and stabilizers for guns, radar, and sonar equipment."

You are way off topic. My statement was simply that transformers were examined long ago, and the benefits of AC over DC, the transmission at high voltage etc. is well known. I didn't say that magnetics in general is finished. Don't read things into my statements. Mag amplifiers are not even under discussion. Do you look for reasons to rebuke others? If I say anything that can be taken out of context and twisted, you're right there to correct me in front of everyone. This thread was moving smoothly and you jump in and start a rutkus by raising an issue not even relevant to the OP question. BR.
