Charles Grafton Page (January 25, 1812 – May 5, 1868) was an American electrical experimenter and inventor, physician, patent examiner, patent advocate, and professor of chemistry. Like his more famous contemporaries Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry , Page began his career as an astute natural philosopher who developed innovative ...
Excerpt from The American Claim to Induction Coil and Its Electrostatic Developments. Charles Grafton Page (1812 – 1868) was an American inventor, physicist and and professor of chemistry. He is considered the father of the modern circuit breaker.
Charles Grafton Page invented the first high-voltage induction coil in 1836. The high-voltage induction coil became an important tool of scientific research, and a standard component of automobile ignition systems in the twentieth century. Page was born in Salem, Massachusetts.
Charles Grafton Page, [Salem (Massachusetts), 1812 – Washington DC, 1868]. Fue un inventor, médico, abogado y profesor de química. Destacó por sus investigaciones en torno a la electricidad. Descubrió el interruptor, así como la Dynamic Multiplier, base de la bobina de inducción, y la llamada música galvánica.
medical student Charles Grafton Page took bodily shocks in 1836 from his homemade spiralled conductor while interrupting its battery connection. Unlike his famous predecessors, Page inserted connectors intermediate along the conductor which increased experimental options: shocks could be taken across any interval. Surprisingly, Page felt
Following discoveries of self-induction made by Faraday (1834) and Henry (1832/1835), Harvard medical student Charles Grafton Page took bodily shocks in 1836 from his homemade spiralled conductor while interrupting its battery connection.
This paper describes details of one electrical experiment that Charles Grafton Page conducted in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1836. This experiment – involving spiral conductors and batteries – was an important step in the development of the induction coil. Page’s experiment ignored barriers present in modern science between body and
