Electrical inventor Peter Cooper Hewitt built on the mid-19th century work of German physicist Julius Plücher and glassblower Heinrich Geissler. By passing an electric current through a glass tube containing tiny amounts of a gas, Plücker and Geissler found they could make light.
Der Quecksilberdampfgleichrichter wurde von Peter Cooper-Hewitt 1902 entwickelt und großflächig bis Anfang der 1970er in der Industrie eingesetzt. Der Anwendungsbereich umfasste den Bereich der elektrischen Energietechnik wie beispielsweise die Versorgung von mit Gleichstrom betriebenen Straßenbahnen .
22. März 2018 · More than a century ago, in 1902, American Engineer Peter Cooper Hewitt (1861-1921) derived the mercury-arc rectifier, enclosed in a glass bulb, from his mercury-vapor lamp of the previous year. He devised its use for feeding dc motors from alternating currents. As the first rectifier for power uses (two years before John Ambrose ...
Peter Cooper Hewitt. 1861-1921. American electrical engineer who invented the mercury-vapor lamp. Between 1901-03 he made his mercury-vapor lamp commercially available as a reliable form of industrial lighting. His quartz-tube mercury lamp was widely used in the biological sciences.
