How Inverters Work. So how can an inverter give us a high voltage alternating current from a low voltage direct current. Let's first consider how an alternator produces an alternating current. In its simplest form, an alternator would have a coil of wire with a rotating magnet close to it.
With a fort on St. Joseph Island at the entrance to Lake Superior, they now in Wellington âs words controlled âthe navigation of the Lakesâ. All this changed with The Battle of Lake Erie on September 10 th 1813. Before the war a military transport service called Provincial Marine supplied Amherstburg. It had two brigs, the HMS Hunter and the HMS Caledonia, and a sloop, the HMS Queen Charlotte; they were not warships and the crews were small and not trained for battle.
Lake Ontario was a standoff: the two navies, the British based in Kingston and the American in Sackettâs Harbour, NY, never fought one another; each patrolled its side of the lake. There were occasional raids, notably the American attack on York, now Toronto, which had consequences for the Battle of Lake Erie. The cannon intended for the HMS Detroit, which was being built in Amherstburg, were seized and carried off. The British navy controlled Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and, with a fort on St. Joseph Island, the entrance to Lake Superior. With the surrender of Michigan and the island of Michilimackinac, the eastern shoreline of Lake Michigan and the entire shoreline of Lake Huron were now British.
