This book aims to make aspiring and existing electrical engineers aware of the efficiency implications of frictionless machines and how important this may be in a post fossil-fuel world in which the energy available from renewable sources is strictly limited.
This undergraduate text introduces the physics and chemistry underlying the electronic properties of engineering solids. Strong focus is given to optical properties of solids, and frequent use is made of actual engineering applications.

Superconductors offer high power density throughput with low electric losses and have the potential to transform the electric power grid of the twenty-first century. Transmission networks incorporating superconducting cables of this type could, for example, deliver more power an…
