"Friction generates electricity. We should use the eagerness to create friction wool to collect static electricity."
"No, what's the use of electricity like that?"
"What we want to create is electricity that can be put into use."
"Don't forget what Mr. Liu Zheng told us. Using magnets, this is the hand-operated generator I invented. It has been able to continuously generate electricity."
Liu Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw the hand-cranked generator that the stranger took out.
Liu Zheng walked over. Everyone looked at Liu Zheng and suddenly the smoke started to rise. They stopped arguing. Only this man was still introducing his hand-cranked generator.
"I added a magnet and a coil made of copper wire inside. I tried shaking it manually, and it could emit electricity and attract the paper. Although it is very weak, it does exist!"
Seeing that no one opposed him, Bikedong was slightly startled, and turned around to find Liu Zheng standing next to him.
He quickly saluted, Liu Zheng waved his hand, looked at the hand-operated generator and said: "This thing you invented is quite interesting."
Liu Zheng walked over, picked up the hand-cranked engine, shook it a few times and said, "The structure is exquisite. Judging from the observation of these pieces of paper, it can indeed produce electricity."
"Well, it's not bad."
Liu Zheng looked at him and asked, "What's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Bi Kedong put one hand on his chest and one hand on his back, bowing slightly, which is the French meeting etiquette.
He said: "Hello, Mr. Liu Zheng, my name is Bixie, an engineer from France."
Liu Zheng nodded. Liangzhou's laboratory attracted not only scientists from Long Yan, but also many scientists from other places.
Although France is hostile to Long Yan, many scientists have come to Liangzhou.
After all, France is still a backward monarchy country. The development of this kind of electricity is almost defined as pagan. Liu Zheng saw a lot of Europeans who were persecuted because of these problems during his trip to Europe. Like Long Yan,
There is still a considerable gap in comparison.
"Long Yan welcomes you." Liu Zheng nodded slightly and smiled.
He looked at the hand-operated generator in his hand again and said: "This thing you made can already produce electricity, but it is not enough."
"Direct current like this can only be produced in time and applied in time, otherwise it will dissipate very quickly."
Everyone nodded. It was true. Even if capacitors were invented, the electricity they captured would easily dissipate.
Liu Zheng said again: "I have an idea."
Everyone pretended to be listening, as if they didn't dare to miss a word.
Liu Zheng said: "Make this hand-cranked engine bigger and use a steam engine as power so that it can generate more electricity."
"And on the other end, we're going to lay lines with copper wires to transport the electricity that's produced to the other side, and on the other side, we run the appliances."
"As for what electrical appliances are, I think you have already invented them."
Everyone watched with puzzled eyes as Liu Zheng's finger landed. It was a simple measuring instrument made to measure the presence of electricity. It was composed of countless small pieces of paper.
Everyone was stunned when they heard Liu Zheng say: "You can attract pieces of paper with electricity, but if you can control electricity to attract certain small pieces of paper, can we use the electricity to create a machine that can start or transmit signals?
?”
Everyone murmured a few words, and Bi Kedong's eyes became more and more fiery.
According to his observations, if the current becomes larger or smaller, different effects can be obtained on the paper.
In other words, if something is designed on the other end that can block the paper's contact with electricity, then a lot of information can be read depending on the length of time the paper is in contact.
For example, a letter!
This is just an idea, but countless ideas can be obtained based on this idea.
After thinking of this, the eyes of these researchers became fiery again!
They looked at Liu Zheng now as if they were looking at a god. Liu Zheng smiled and did not continue to express his thoughts.
