Abstract :
The early wireless telegraphy transmitters were based on the generation of trains of high frequency oscillations produced by sparks. In the Goldschmidt alternator, an ingenious combination of a standard machine plus external static components generate a series of currents of increasing frequency in low impedance paths. In this alternator the principle of operation does not depend necessarily on the presence of a large number of poles but rather on the generation of successively higher-frequency currents in the machine stator and rotor windings. The principle of operation is described. The reason why this alternator was re-invented at Imperial College and was given an up-to-date theoretical treatment and practical realisation is also discussed
