Zenobe Gramme, Belgian engineer
Zenobe Gramme (1826-1901), Belgian engineer. Gramme was an electrical engineer, invented a direct current generator known as the Gramme machine. The device was demonstrated in 1871, but it was not until 1873 that it was found that it could be used as a dynamo when the current was reversed. This discovery was accidental, but meant that the Gramme machine was the first electric motor to be used on an industrial scale. Artwork from the third volume (first period of 1889) of the French popular science weekly La Science Illustree

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Zenobe Gramme, a brilliant Belgian engineer who revolutionized the world of electricity in the 19th century. Known for his invention of the direct current generator, aptly named the Gramme machine, Gramme's genius was not fully realized until an accidental discovery in 1873. Initially demonstrated in 1871, it was found that when the current was reversed, this innovative device could be used as a dynamo. This groundbreaking revelation made the Gramme machine the first electric motor to be employed on an industrial scale. Captured within this artwork from La Science Illustree, a renowned French popular science weekly publication of its time, Zenobe Gramme stands tall as a symbol of human ingenuity and scientific progress. His contribution to electrical engineering paved the way for future advancements in technology and forever changed our modern world. As we admire this historical illustration, we are reminded of how one person's brilliance can shape history. Zenobe Gramme's legacy lives on through his remarkable inventions and their impact on society. This monochrome depiction serves as both a tribute to his achievements and an inspiration for generations to come.
