Summary "Electric Transmission of Water Power" by Alton D. Adams is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the complexities and practicalities of using water-power for generating electrical energy and its distribution across varying distances, highlighting the advancements in electrical engineering. It likely targets those interested in electrical systems, engineering principles, and the historical context of energy transmission. The opening of the book provides an overview of the integration of electrical systems derived from water-power into major North American cities, detailing how these systems operate over extensive distances. Adams outlines numerous water-power stations and their capabilities, emphasizing the significant role of water power in supplying electricity to urban centers while illustrating the implications for energy costs and competition with other energy sources such as coal and gas. The narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of electric power transmission methodologies and the economic considerations associated with different generation systems.
