The Watch Book - More than Time II is the second volume by watch expert Gisbert l. Brunner that addresses the specialty functions and refinements of wristwatches, highlighting the supreme discipline of the watchmaker's art. Text in English and German.

Elektrische energie geeft een overzicht van het elektrisch energiesysteem. Aan de basis hiervan ligt een wiskundige formulering van wisselstroom bij één- en driefasige systemen. Elektriciteit wordt zowel in grotere centrales als gedecentraliseerd opgewekt en bereikt de eindgebruiker via het transmissie- en distributienet. In een geliberaliseerde energiemarkt zijn hierbij verschillende partijen betrokken. Transformatoren spelen in deze netten een belangrijke rol.

In het tweede deel van dit st...
