B. Wilson in 1750 [2] demonstrated the recoil force associated to the same corona discharge and precursor to the ion thruster was the corona discharge pinwheel. [3] The corona discharge from the freely rotating pinwheel arm with ends bent to sharp points [4] [5] gives the air a space charge, which repels the point because the polarity is the same for the point and the air.
On January 25, 2019 BBB Industries, LLC, acquired the equity interests of the Remy North American Rotating Electric business consisting of Worldwide Automotive, LLC and Remy Mexico Holdings B.V., more commonly known as “Remy Power Products”.

1931 Bugatti Type 51 cockpit, with Wilson preselector gearbox. The most common type of pre-selector gearbox was the Wilson, which used an epicyclic design. [5] [6] A precursor to the Wilson gearbox was the manually-controlled epicyclic gearbox used in the 1901–1904 Wilson-Pilcher cars built in the United Kingdom.
In 1851 Wilson patented the rotating hook, which performed the functions of a shuttle by seizing the upper thread and throwing its loop over a circular bobbin containing the under thread. [2] This simplified the construction of the machine by getting rid of the reciprocation motion of the ordinary shuttle, and contributed to make a light tool ...

1995: under Peter Boxall’s presidency, the name was changed to the "Association of Electrical and Mechanical Trades" to include the growing number of companies involved in the service and repair of pumps, gearboxes, transformers, electronic and mechanical repairs, as well as traditional rotating electrical machinery.

In electrical engineering, electric machine is a general term for machines using electromagnetic forces, such as electric motors, electric generators, and others. They are electromechanical energy converters: an electric motor converts electricity to mechanical power while an electric generator converts mechanical power to electricity.
Wilson was born in Minerva, Ohio, the son of Thomas E. and Rosalind (née Unkefer) Wilson. [3] After earning a degree in electrical engineering from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1909, he joined the Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburgh, where eventually he supervised the engineering of automobile electrical equipment, and during World War I, the development of dynamotors and ...
