    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_coil

    The first induction coil, built by Nicholas Callan, 1836. The induction coil was the first type of electrical transformer . During its development between 1836 and the 1860s, mostly by trial and error, researchers discovered many of the principles that governed all transformers, such as the proportionality between turns and output voltage and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Callan

    He invented the first induction coil in 1836. [3] [4] [5] An induction coil produces an intermittent high-voltage alternating current from a low-voltage direct current supply. It has a primary coil consisting of a few turns of thick wire wound around an iron core and subjected to a low voltage (usually from a battery). Wound on top of this is a ...

    Heinrich Daniel Ruhmkorff (Rühmkorff) (15 January 1803 – 20 December 1877) was a German instrument maker who commercialised the induction coil (often referred to as the Ruhmkorff coil). Ruhmkorff was born in Hanover. He changed the "ü" to "u" in his name when living abroad. After an apprenticeship with a German mechanic, he moved to England.

    English: Early induction coil, 1838, by Charles G. Page (US). Exhibit in National Museum of American History, Washington, DC, USA. The arm dipping into the glass cup was an early "contact breaker" or "interrupter" which repeatedly broke the current to the primary to create the flux changes needed for induction. The cup was filled with mercury ...

    Ritchie's first induction coil produced a spark 10 inches (25 cm) in length; a later perfected model produced a bolt two feet (60 cm) or longer in length. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] In 1857, one of Ritchie's induction coils was exhibited in Dublin , Ireland at a conference of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, [ 6 ] and later at the ...

  7. Trembler coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trembler_coil

    The trembler coil was a device called a Ruhmkorff or induction coil, widely used in the 19th century. [5] It combines two magnetic devices on the same iron-cored solenoid. The first is a transformer, used to transform low voltage electricity to a high voltage, suitable for an engine's spark plug. Two coils of wire are wound around an iron core.
