This book is a companion to Reeds Vol. 6: Basic Electrotechnology
for Marine Engineers and covers aspects of theory beyond the scope
of Volume 6. The book will cover the more advanced topics in
electrotechnology for professional trainees studying Merchant Navy
Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (CoC) as well as the
syllabi in electrotechnology for undergraduates studying for BSc,
BEng and MEng degrees in marine engineering and electrical
engineering. The new edition will provide worked examples and test
exam questions, corresponding to current Merchant Navy
Qualifications. Other revisions will include new material on
emerging technology areas such as image intensifiers (photoelectric
effect, secondary emission), thermal imaging cameras, radar,
increased maritime use of LEDs, various semiconductor physics
devices including the laser, as well as discussions of binary or
digital theory.
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the basic theoretical
work required by Marine Engineering Officers and Electrotechnical
Officers (ETOs), putting into place key fundamental building blocks
and topics in electrotechnology before progressing to more complex
topics and electromagnetic systems. Volume 6 covers essential basic
electrotechnology principles for the 21st century, including the
fundamentals of electron theory, AC and DC current, circuits,
electromagnetism and electrochemistry, providing a firm foundation
for complementary Volume 7 in the Marine Engineering Series to
discuss emergent technology such as image intensifers, the
transistor, increased maritime use of LEDs, and references to
modern ship systems such as GPS, ECDIS, Radar and AIS. This new
edition has been thoroughly updated in line with guidelines, best
practice and the many technological developments that have taken
place over the past 5 years since the previous edition published,
as well as improvements and updates to the technical diagrams.
This book contains personal testimonies from well known Christians
in the public eye who are making a positive difference in their own
local communities and around the world. This book is written to
inspire you to reach for the impossible things of God!
Contributions include: Dr Patrick Sookhdeo, Bruce Marchiano,
Baroness Caroline Cox, Dr Peter Gammons and many others!
John, an orphan boy, discovers a hidden doorway to a world of
wonder, meets a mysterious stranger and a host of unusual

First book to give an insight into a growing area of interest -
stealth warship technology - which is crucial for future
developments in warship construction. It demonstrates the
importance of materials used in warship construction and how this
influences all of a naval platform's design parameters.
Stealth technology is now considered a critical component within
warship design, with interest in the concept of stealth increasing
around the globe as naval forces adapt to new challenges. Many new
developing nations are now implementing their first generation of
stealth technology military hardware. This exciting book explores
the full extent of threats to warships and thus the
transformational change in naval architecture to incorporate these
modern stealth technologies.
Discussing the history of stealth technology, with references to
well-known aircraft, ships and events in military history, the book
also provides readers with a unique opportunity to develop an
understanding of the specialist skills required in this naval
sector. This is an essential read for anyone interested in stealth
design and the issues involved in this evolving technology.
Reeds Introductions: Essential Sensing and Telecommunications for
Marine Engineering Applications covers all fundamental and
essential theoretical maritime physics principles which underpin
modern marine sensors and telecommunications devices as needed by
marine users such as: Navy, Coastguard, Merchant Shipping and users
of pleasure craft. For safety at sea, it is vital that maritime
users have at least a basic understanding of the key concepts upon
which many essential modern sea-going sensors and communications
devices now operate. Knowledge regarding electromagnetic waves and
electromagnetic devices is an established merchant navy sea service
requirement, particularly for the Standards in Training and
Certification in Watchkeeping (STCW95) qualification in various
Maritime Coastguard Agency exams, but it is also a practical matter
for the amateur as well. This vital introductory book is written as
simply as possible to educate an increasing number of maritime
users who wish to become familiar and competent with the latest
technologies as well as a growing number of overseas students for
whom English is not their first language. This volume provides a
comprehensive study of maritime sensors and telecommunications
principles and provides a firm foundation prior to reading and
studying textbooks in the Reeds Marine Engineering series. Students
having read this easy-to-read volume will be better prepared for
the more in depth study of that series.
Reeds Introductions: Physics Wave Concepts for Marine Engineering
Applications covers the fundamental theoretical maritime physics
concepts which underpin electromagnetic wave and sonar principles
as developed in most maritime-related courses, whether Naval,
Coastguard or Merchant Marine engineering. For these reasons it is
vital that maritime users have a basic understanding of the
concepts upon which many essential modern sea-going sensors and
communications devices now operate. Knowledge regarding
electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic devices is an established
merchant navy sea service requirement, particularly for the
Standards in Training and Certification in Watchkeeping (STCW95)
qualification in various Maritime Coastguard Agency exams, e.g.
Marine Electrotechnology (as Chief Engineer and Second Engineer),
as mandated by the UK Department for Transport. This short
introductory book is written as simply as possible to support
growing numbers of overseas students for whom English is not their
first language. This volume provides a comprehensive study of
maritime physics principles and provides a firm foundation prior to
reading and studying of the following Reeds Marine Engineering
series: Vols 1, 3, 6, 7, 14 and 15. Students having read this
easy-to-read volume will be better prepared for the more in depth
study of the other volumes listed.
