    wye

    Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) is ranked equal if not the greatest inventor of all time to Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931). He was the first to use polyphase alternating current circuits for the economical distribution of electrical power advancing the global industrial revolution.

    A type of polyphase circuit is called the wye. The same pattern is used for railroad switchings allowing train and locomotives to travel in the opposite direction without stopping (as is the case for rotator track switches) but momentarily reversing into the wye system. In electric power distributions it is impossible to stop the flow of electricity once set in motion along the conductors. However, by the use of 3-phase wye circuitries, the electricity can easily reversed direction into alternating current at 60 cycles per second for normal standard industrial usage reducing power input load while increasing the effectiveness of its distributions.

    Many transistor designs are also based on the wye pattern having 3 terminals called base, emitter, and collector. Since integrated transistor (whether NPN or PNP) is one of the passive or active components of all micro or nanominiaturization of all computer chips, the wye design dominates all circuit components of micro or nanotechnology. This design can be extended all the way to infinitesimal spacetime quantization hinted by the trichotomy of color charge as red, green, and blue analogous to the primary colors. In psychology, there is the wye and wherefore of mind, body, and soul.

    In the quantum theory of spacetime, each of the 8 properties of directional invariance for infinitesimal local motion is also a wye either of right-top-front, right-top-back, right-down-front, right-down-back, left-top-front, left-top-back, left-down-front, or left-down-back.

    I agree Tesla was a brilliant inventor,I worked on the railway many years ago,don't recall
    that system on our railway,prehaps it was used in the States.

    Saw the picture of the design in the Webster's dictionary. My guess is that trains like airplanes hardly ever turn around and go in the opposite direction.

    As I recall Thomas Edison was a proponent for direct current. We all know how that worked out. Of course he was the founder of the GE Corp, one of the largest corporations in the world.

    Best,

    It's pretty difficult to turn around an aircraft carrier also.

    True enough, but most hijackers are suicidal and homicidal.

    Thank goodness there are not many around but it only takes one to kill a million.

    Indeed and that is what's so scary about fundamentalist. They want to die to get their virgins.

    We had turntables for steam engines,these worked by vacuum power,21 inches 0f vacuum could move a 150 ton engine.(I don't expect any wisecracks Pat about the
    21inches,ok!)
