Life

Ányos Jedlik was born in Szimő (Zemné) in the Komárom county (modern day Slovakia). He was born of Magyarized Slovak parentage. His education began at Trnava (Hung.: Nagyszombat) and Pressburg (now Bratislava) high schools. In 1817 he became a Benedictine and from that time continued his studies at the schools of that order. He lectured at Benedictine schools up to 1839, then for 40 years at the Budapest University of Sciences department of physics-mechanics. Only few guessed at that time that his beneficial activities would play an important part in bringing up a new generation of physicists.

Ányos Jedlik's single pole electric starter (dynamo) (1861)

In 1845 he began teaching his pupils in Hungarian in lieu of Latin. Through his textbook he is regarded as one of the establishers of Hungarian vocabulary in physics. He became the dean of the faculty of arts in 1848, and by 1863 he was rector of the University. From 1858 he was a corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and from 1873 an honorary member. He preceded his contemporaries in his scientific work, but he did not speak about his most important invention, his prototype dynamo, until 1856; it was not until 1861 that he mentioned it in writing in a list of inventory of the university. Although that document might serve as a proof of Jedlik's status as the originator, the invention of the dynamo is linked to Siemens' name because Jedlik's invention did not rise to notice at that time.

Acclaim

Ányos Jedlik's best known invention is the principle of 'self-excitement'. With the single pole electric starter, he formulated the concept of the dynamo at least 6 years prior to Siemens and Wheatstone. In essence the concept is that instead of permanent magnets, two electromagnets opposite each other induce the magnetic field around the rotor. Dynamo can refer to more than one item. ... Werner von Siemens Ernst Werner von Siemens (December 13, 1816 – December 6, 1892) was a German inventor and industrialist. ... Sir Charles Wheatstone (February 6, 1802 - October 19, 1875) was the British inventor of many innovations including the English concertina an early form of microphone the Playfair cipher (named for Lord Playfair, the person who publicized it) and the Wheatstone bridge. ... Magnetic lines of force of a bar magnet shown by iron filings on paper A magnet is an object that has a magnetic field. ... An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is induced by a flow of electric current. ... It has been suggested that Magnetic field density be merged into this article or section. ...

As one side of the coil passes in front of the north pole, crossing the line of force, current is thus induced. As the frame rotates further the current diminishes, then arriving at the front of the south pole it rises again but flows in the opposite direction. The frame is connected to a commutator, thus the current always flows in the same direction in the external circuit. For an electrical switch that periodically reverses the current see commutator (electric) In mathematics, the commutator gives an indication of how poorly a certain binary operation fails to be commutative. ... There are many kinds of circuit An electric circuit interconnects electrical elements or electronic elements together usually to perform some useful function. ...
