1 Chapter 1 : Isabel Paterson: The Woman and the Dynamo - The Atlasphere The Woman and the Dynamo is the first biography of a woman who has long been a source of rumor and legend. From interviews, private papers, and her millions of published words, Stephen Cox weaves a narrative that brings Paterson vividly to life. Tweet on Twitter From the start of network sports broadcasting, back in the late s, this was a male bastion. Even the idea of the inclusion of a woman to speak about sports seemed far-fetched, and ludicrous. This is all changing right nowâ. Kanthi â Disrupting the Status Quo of Sports Broadcasting Kanthi D Suresh is the doyenne of sports news broadcasting â a virago akin to a breath of fresh air in the staid and mundane realm of TV debates, sports news, and controversies. Kanthi is a heady mix of good looks, poise, purpose, and fire. She is the first woman to own and run a sports channel â PowerSportz. Kanthi has established that a woman is more than just eye-candy, a cheerleader, and noodle straps â she is a serious contender for top spot, giving even the likes of Arnab Goswami a run for his money. Kanthi is the new face of sports news broadcasting â fresh, dynamic, and a powerhouse â she has brought a renewed perspective to broadcasting as a whole, and is showing the world what a woman can do in the realm of sports broadcasting, otherwise considered a male bastion! Backed by Solid Experience Kanthi is no ordinary anchor, and neither is she a novice in this realm. She has in the past, been a successful and top-notch newscaster at the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, and Asian Games for India. Her first big sporting event was the Beijing Olympics, when India bagged its first individual gold medal. She was then specially called to anchor the Commonwealth games hosted in New Delhi. There was no looking back after that. She then anchored the London Olympics, after which her popularity really soared high. She also covered the Glasgow Commonwealth games in The topics discussed are engaging and informative, and add value and knowledge for their viewers â something that very few others can boast. The tone of the channel is edgy and exhilarating, leaving audiences satiated and yet wanting to know more. The subjects are clearly well researched, the content is fresh, and the videos spectacular, giving the miles apart edge to the channel. Kanthi plays the perfect anchor to this content â sharing, interviewing, and challenging with aplomb. What makeskanthi a firebrand? She is driven by responsibility â the passion to make a mark and a positive difference. While being highly passionate, her composure, demeanour, and intellectual approach makes her unique. She succeeds each time in bringing a fresh and creative angle to her stories, in a way that beats the commonplace and becomes highly engaging. Her stories and style are far from being dramatic â they reflect the truth with sensitivity to ethical land mines, which if ignored could potentially harm people and organizations, and public safety. While command of the language may seem like a given, however, Kanthi stands out with dead-on grammar, attention to pronunciation, syntax, tone, a pleasant demeanour, and interesting storytelling style.

From interviews, private papers, and her mi Novelist, columnist, cultural critic, political theorist-- Isabel Paterson was one of the most extraordinary personalities of the s, renowned for her incisive wit and her unique. Is it time for a revival? Three of them, to be exact. One of them was Ayn Rand, whose novel The Fountainhead put her on the liberty map. The third was Isabel Paterson, now most famous for her treatise on political economy, The God of the Machine. Paterson was also a friend and mentor to Rand. But as Stephen Cox shows in his biography, The Woman and the Dynamo, Paterson was a notable person of many achievements outside of her connection to Rand. Paterson was a popular novelist in the s and 30s. She was one of the leading book reviewers in the middle of the Twentieth Century. And she was a staunch critic of the New Deal, totalitarianism, and an interventionist foreign policy. Her family lived on the frontier, in several places along both sides of the border. Like a lot of frontier people, Mary learned how to do many things. She liked to point out later that the frontier was not so devoid of culture as people thought it was. There were a lot of theater companies, for example. And people read voraciously, whatever they could get their hands on. Mary only had a couple years of formal education. Otherwise she was a classic autodidact. This is, I think, the key to her character. Autodidacts tend to be independent, verging on idiosyncratic. Because they are so good at learning for themselves, they sometimes do not see the benefits of the generally-accepted hierarchy of knowledge. Of course, neither are they bogged down in it. Thus Mary Bowler became Isabel Paterson. She got her first two novels published when she was 30 and wrote several more over the years. There is a strong autobiographical element to some of the stories, but the characters based on Paterson do not seem to have her zest or wit. About most of the novels, it would be easy to say that they suffer from a lack of a hero on a grand scale and a well-constructed plot. That would be the standard Objectivist evaluation. More exact would be to say their characters were created on the scale of real industrialists and merchants of principle, not godlike archetypes. In her historical novel, The Singing Season, set in late medieval Spain, the central conflict is between a merchant with capitalist ideas and a king who resents him and plots to take his wealth. In other novels, the conflicts are less focused. Eventually she went East and ended up working for the New York Herald Tribune, a major paper in its day. She was the most read, most feared personage in the literary world. Her wit was impressive â and often caustic. His characters have no histories and no backs to their heads. Paterson knew Rand mainly in the Forties. Paterson was 20 years older than Rand and much better read. Rand literally sat at her feet and soaked up ideas in economics and American history. But two such strong, opinionated personalities are bound to clash. This was too much for Rand and the two went their separate ways. Isabel Paterson was a fascinating person: Perhaps Cox could oversee a collection of the best of her column, including its amusing cartoons. Is there a moral to this story? Those of us who are, should not let this difference make us bitter and excessively critical. Of course, this lesson takes nothing away from the glory and accomplishments of either Rand or Patterson. Each left an inspiring and important legacy, from which we all may learn. He is currently working on a book about mind-body wholism. Page 2

The word "dynamo" was coined in by Michael Faraday, who utilized his invention toward making many discoveries in electricity Faraday discovered electrical induction and magnetism. The earlier DC generators which used permanent magnets were not considered "dynamo electric machines". The discovery of the dynamo principle made industrial scale electric power generation technically and economically feasible. After the invention of the alternator and that alternating current can be used as a power supply, the word dynamo became associated exclusively with the commutated direct current electric generator, while an AC electrical generator using either slip rings or rotor magnets would become known as an alternator. A small electrical generator built into the hub of a bicycle wheel to power lights is called a hub dynamo, although these are invariably AC devices,[ citation needed ] and are actually magnetos. A dynamo machine consists of a stationary structure, called the stator, which provides a constant magnetic field, and a set of rotating windings called the armature which turn within that field. On small machines the constant magnetic field may be provided by one or more permanent magnets ; larger machines have the constant magnetic field provided by one or more electromagnets, which are usually called field coils. Commutator electric The commutator is needed to produce direct current. When a loop of wire rotates in a magnetic field, the magnetic flux through it, and thus the potential induced in it, reverses with each half turn, generating an alternating current. However, in the early days of electric experimentation, alternating current generally had no known use. The few uses for electricity, such as electroplating, used direct current provided by messy liquid batteries. Dynamos were invented as a replacement for batteries. The commutator is essentially a rotary switch. The commutator reverses the connection of the windings to the external circuit when the potential reverses, so instead of alternating current, a pulsing direct current is produced. Excitation magnetic The earliest dynamos used permanent magnets to create the magnetic field. These were referred to as "magneto-electric machines" or magnetos. An important development by Wilde and Siemens was the discovery by that a dynamo could also bootstrap itself to be self-excited, using current generated by the dynamo itself. This allowed the growth of a much more powerful field, thus far greater output power. Self-excited direct current dynamos commonly have a combination of series and parallel shunt field windings which are directly supplied power by the rotor through the commutator in a regenerative manner. They are started and operated in a manner similar to modern portable alternating current electric generators, which are not used with other generators on an electric grid. There is a weak residual magnetic field that persists in the metal frame of the device when it is not operating, which has been imprinted onto the metal by the field windings. The dynamo begins rotating while not connected to an external load. The residual magnetic field induces a very small electrical current into the rotor windings as they begin to rotate. Without an external load attached, this small current is then fully supplied to the field windings, which in combination with the residual field, cause the rotor to produce more current. In this manner the self-exciting dynamo builds up its internal magnetic fields until it reaches its normal operating voltage. When it is able to produce sufficient current to sustain both its internal fields and an external load, it is ready to be used. A self-excited dynamo with insufficient residual magnetic field in the metal frame will not be able to produce any current in the rotor, regardless of what speed the rotor spins. This situation can also occur in modern self-excited portable generators, and is resolved for both types of generators in a similar manner, by applying a brief direct current battery charge to the output terminals of the stopped generator. The battery energizes the windings just enough to imprint the residual field, to enable building up the current. This is referred to as flashing the field. Both types of self-excited generator, which have been attached to a large external load while it was stationary, will not be able to build up voltage even if the residual field is present. The load acts as an energy sink and continuously drains away the small rotor current produced by the residual field, preventing magnetic field buildup in the field coil. History[ edit ] Induction with permanent magnets[ edit ] The Faraday disk was the first electric generator. The horseshoe-shaped magnet A Page 3

4 created a magnetic field through the disk D. When the disk was turned, this induced an electric current radially outward from the center toward the rim. The current flowed out through the sliding spring contact m, through the external circuit, and back into the center of the disk through the axle. The operating principle of electromagnetic generators was discovered in the years â by Michael Faraday. He also built the first electromagnetic generator, called the Faraday disk, a type of homopolar generator, using a copper disc rotating between the poles of a horseshoe magnet. It produced a small DC voltage. This was not a dynamo in the current sense, because it did not use a commutator. This design was inefficient, due to self-cancelling counterflows of current in regions of the disk that were not under the influence of the magnetic field. While current was induced directly underneath the magnet, the current would circulate backwards in regions that were outside the influence of the magnetic field. This counterflow limited the power output to the pickup wires, and induced waste heating of the copper disc. Later homopolar generators would solve this problem by using an array of magnets arranged around the disc perimeter to maintain a steady field effect in one current-flow direction. Another disadvantage was that the output voltage was very low, due to the single current path through the magnetic flux. Faraday and others found that higher, more useful voltages could be produced by winding multiple turns of wire into a coil. Wire windings can conveniently produce any voltage desired by changing the number of turns, so they have been a feature of all subsequent generator designs, requiring the invention of the commutator to produce direct current. The commutator is located on the shaft below the spinning magnet. It used a permanent magnet which was rotated by a crank. The spinning magnet was positioned so that its north and south poles passed by a piece of iron wrapped with insulated wire. Pixii found that the spinning magnet produced a pulse of current in the wire each time a pole passed the coil. However, the north and south poles of the magnet induced currents in opposite directions. To convert the alternating current to DC, Pixii invented a commutator, a split metal cylinder on the shaft, with two springy metal contacts that pressed against it. Pacinotti dynamo, This early design had a problem: As with electric motors of the period, the designers did not fully realize the seriously detrimental effects of large air gaps in the magnetic circuit. Antonio Pacinotti, an Italian physics professor, solved this problem around by replacing the spinning two-pole axial coil with a multi-pole toroidal one, which he created by wrapping an iron ring with a continuous winding, connected to the commutator at many equally spaced points around the ring; the commutator being divided into many segments. This meant that some part of the coil was continually passing by the magnets, smoothing out the current. In the prototype of the single-pole electric starter, both the stationary and the revolving parts were electromagnetic. About he formulated the concept of the dynamo about six years before Siemens and Wheatstone but did not patent it as he thought he was not the first to realize this. His dynamo used, instead of permanent magnets, two electromagnets placed opposite to each other to induce the magnetic field around the rotor. Practical designs[ edit ] This large belt-driven high-current dynamo from around produced amperes at 7 volts DC. The huge complicated commutator left was needed to handle the large current. Dynamos are no longer used due to the size and complexity of commutators needed for high power applications. The dynamo was the first electrical generator capable of delivering power for industry. The modern dynamo, fit for use in industrial applications, was invented independently by Sir Charles Wheatstone, Werner von Siemens and Samuel Alfred Varley. Varley took out a patent on 24 December, while Siemens and Wheatstone both announced their discoveries on 17 January, the latter delivering a paper on his discovery to the Royal Society. The "dynamo-electric machine" employed self-powering electromagnetic field coils rather than permanent magnets to create the stator field. This invention led directly to the first major industrial uses of electricity. For example, in the s Siemens used electromagnetic dynamos to power electric arc furnaces for the production of metals and other materials. The dynamo machine that was developed consisted of a stationary structure, which provides the magnetic field, and a set of rotating windings which turn within that field. On larger machines the constant magnetic field is provided by one or more electromagnets, which are usually called field coils. Small Gramme dynamo, around The Gramme dynamo was one of the first machines to generate commercial quantities of power for industry. Brush assembled his first dynamo in the summer of using a horse-drawn treadmill to power it. The field electromagnets were also positioned on the sides of the armature disc rather than around the circumference. They were multi-field Page 4

5 single-rotor devices with two or more sets of rotating contacts either commutators or sliprings, as required, one to provide power to one set of armature windings to turn the device, and one or more attached to other windings to produce the output current. The rotary converter can directly convert, internally, any type of electric power into any other. The size and mass of the rotor was made large so that the rotor would act as a flywheel to help smooth out any sudden surges or dropouts in the applied power. The technology of rotary converters was replaced in the early 20th century by mercury-vapor rectifiers, which were smaller, did not produce vibration and noise, and required less maintenance. The same conversion tasks are now performed by solid state power semiconductor devices. Rotary converters remained in use in the West Side IRT subway in Manhattan into the late s, and possibly some years later. Historical uses[ edit ] Electric power generation[ edit ] Dynamos, usually driven by steam engines, were widely used in power stations to generate electricity for industrial and domestic purposes. They have since been replaced by alternators. Large industrial dynamos with series and parallel shunt windings can be difficult to use together in a power plant, unless either the rotor or field wiring or the mechanical drive systems are coupled together in certain special combinations. It seems theoretically possible to run dynamos in parallel to create induction and self sustaining system for electrical power. An early type was the third-brush dynamo. They have, again, been replaced by alternators. Modern uses[ edit ] Dynamos still have some uses in low power applications, particularly where low voltage DC is required, since an alternator with a semiconductor rectifier can be inefficient in these applications.
