Flick Of The Switch: Engineers Use Plasma To Convert DC To AC

Those in the northeastern U.S. also rely on hydropower that has a long way to travel: It comes from rivers in northern Quebec.

As wind and water meet more of the nation’s demand for electricity, technology that can transmit that power efficiently is becoming more and more important.
