The Neptune system involves a 65-mile high-voltage, direct-current underwater transmission cable linking Sayreville, New Jersey to Long Island, New York. |
A direct-current voltage is applied across a first layer of a conductive material, so that a direct current flows in a first direction through the first layer. |
As a test, the researchers chemically induced spikes in the rat tissue to mimic those preceding a seizure and then exposed the neurons to a steady, direct-current field. |
An electronic inverter converts the direct-current power from the solar panel to usable house current. |
