GRAMME
Zenobe Theophile Gramme (1826 - 1901) invented the first industrial generator, or
dynamo. A deceptively simple-looking machine, it consisted of 30 coils wrapped around
a spinning ring of iron.
Although not the first electric motor, it was the first to be have applications in
manufacturing and farming.
A largely self-taught inventor, Gramme also had a keen sense of business. Together with
French engineer Hippolyte Fontaine, he opened a factory that produced the Gramme
dynamo as well as the Gramme ring and armature.
Before Gramme's invention, electric motors were little more than toys and lab oddities.
His generator ushered in the commercial use of the electric motor and stimulated
advances in electricity. Because of his creative use of circular armature and numerous
overlapped coils, his design remains the basis of many of today's direct-current electric
motors.
