Wilde, Henry

  • 1 Wilde, Henry

    SUBJECT AREA: Electricity
    [br]
    b. 1833 Manchester, England
    d. 28 March 1919 Alderley Edge, Cheshire, England
    [br]
    English inventor and pioneer manufacturer of electrical generators.
    [br]
    After completing a mechanical engineering apprenticeship Wilde commenced in business as a telegraph and lightning conductor specialist in Lancashire. Several years spent on the design of an alphabetic telegraph resulted in a number of patents. In 1864 he secured a patent for an electromagnetic generator which gave alternating current from a shuttle-wound armature, the field being excited by a small direct-current magneto. Wilde's invention was described to the Royal Society by Faraday in March 1866. When demonstrated at the Paris Exhibition of 1867, Wilde's machine produced sufficient power to maintain an arc light. The small size of the generator provided a contrast to the large and heavy magnetoelectric machines also exhibited. He discovered, by experiment, that alternators in synchronism could be connected in parallel. At about the same time John Hopkinson arrived at the same conclusions on theoretical grounds.
    Between 1866 and 1877 he sold ninety-four machines with commutators for electroplating purposes, a number being purchased by Elkingtons of Birmingham. He also supplied generators for the first use of electric searchlights on battleships. In his early experiments Wilde was extremely close to the discovery of true self-excitation from remnant magnetism, a principle which he was to discover in 1867 on machines intended for electroplating. His patents proved to be financially successful and he retired from business in 1884. During the remaining thirty-five years of his life he published many scientific papers, turning from experimental work to philosophical and, finally, theological matters. His record as an inventor established him as a pioneer of electrical engineering, but his lack of scientific training was to restrict his later contributions.

  • 3 the Blue Book

    Lady Chiltern: "But I am very much interested in politics, Lady Markby. I love to hear Robert talk about them." Lady Markby: "Well, I hope he is not as devoted to Blue Books as Sir John is. I don't think they can be quite improving reading for any one." Mrs. Cheveley (languidly): "I have never read a Blue Book. I prefer books in yellow covers." (O. Wilde, ‘An Ideal Husband’, act II) — Леди Чилтерн: "Но я сама очень интересуюсь политикой, леди Маркби. Я очень люблю, когда Роберт говорит о политике." Леди Маркби: "Неужели? Ну, я все-таки надеюсь, что он хоть не так увлекается Синими книгами. Сэра Джона от них не оторвешь. А это, по-моему, никому не может быть полезно." Миссис Чивли (томно): "Я никогда не читала синих книг. Я предпочитаю книги в желтых обложках."

    2) амер. "Синяя книга" (справочник, содержащий имена лиц, занимающих государственные должности в США)

    It's too late for this year, but next year you ought to have your name in the Blue Book. I'll arrange that. (J. O'Hara, ‘Ourselves to Know’) — В этом году уже слишком поздно, но в будущем году ваша фамилия будет значиться в Синей книге. Я позабочусь об этом.

    3) "Синяя книга", перечень лиц, играющих роль в обществе; календарь высшего света

    ‘What I want is information: not useful information, of course, useless information.’ ‘Well, I can tell you anything that is in an English Blue-book, Harry, although those fellows nowadays write a lot of nonsense...’ ‘Mr. Dorian Gray does not belong to Blue-books, Uncle George,’ said Lord Henry, languidly. (O. Wilde, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’, ch.III) — - К вам я пришел не за деньгами, а за сведениями. Разумеется, не за полезными - за бесполезными. - Ну что ж, от меня ты можешь узнать все, что есть в любой Синей книге Англии, хотя нынче в них пишут много ерунды... - Мистер Дориан Грей в Синих книгах не числится, дядя Джордж, - небрежно заметил лорд Генри.

    4) справочник, справочное издание (обыкн. типа адресной книги)

    The "Blue Book", the directory... of the electrical engineering and allied trades. (‘The Daily Telegraph’) — "Синяя книга" - это адресная книга... работников электропромышленности и смежных областей.

    загробный, потусторонний мир, "тот свет", лучший мир, мир иной

    But turning the turtle is not making a quick passage except to the other world. (Fr. Marryat, ‘Percival Keene’, ch. XXIII) — Но перевернуться дном вверх - не самый быстрый способ передвижения. Разве только если спешишь на тот свет.

    ‘Lord Herny, I am not at all surprised that the world says that you are extremely wicked.’ ‘But what world says that?’ asked Lord Henry... ‘It can only be the next world. This world and I are on excellent terms.’ (O. Wilde, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’, ch. XV) — - Лорд Генри, меня ничуть не удивляет, что свет считает вас в высшей степени безнравственным человеком. - Неужели? - спросил лорд Генри... - Вероятно, вы имеете в виду тот свет? С этим светом я в прекрасных отношениях.
