A Brief History of Electrolyzers
Today’s brev will focus on a brief history of electrolyzers. Jan Rudolph Deiman and Adriaan Paets van Troostwijk used, in 1789, an electrostatic machine to make electricity which was discharged on gold electrodes in a Leyden jar with water. In 1800 Alessandro Volta invented the voltaic pile.
A few weeks later, however, English scientists William Nicholson and Anthony Carlisle used it for the electrolysis of water.
The apparatus used by Ritter (left) and later constructions.
In 1806 Humphry Davy reported the results of extensive distilled water electrolysis experiments concluding that nitric acid was produced at the anode from dissolved atmospheric nitrogen gas.
H2 was chemically obtained by dissolving metal in acid and used for filling air balloons. With growing demand in industry, electrochemically generated hydrogen became more and more advantages – from economical point of view. When Zénobe Gramme invented the Gramme machine in

Zénobe-Théophile Gramme, (born April 4, 1826, Jehay-Bodegnée, Belg.—died Jan. 20,
1901, Bois-Colombes, France), Belgian-born electrical engineer who invented (1869)
the Gramme dynamo, a continuous-current electrical generator that gave a major
impetus to the development of electric power.

enobe Theophile Gramme (1826 – 1901) invented the first industrial generator, or
dynamo. A deceptively simple-looking machine, it consisted of 30 coils wrapped
around a spinning ring of iron.
Although not the first electric motor, it was the first to be have applications in
manufacturing and farming.
A largely self-taught inventor, Gramme also had a keen sense of business. Together
with French engineer Hippolyte Fontaine, he opened a factory that produced the
Gramme dynamo as well as the Gramme fingerprydnad and armature.

The History of Electric Motor Technology
The Story of Electric Motor Technology: A Journey Through Time
Since the birth of technology, the pace of innovation has continued to accelerate. New inventions and technologies make our lives easier, but what’s fascinating is that technology often leads to the next innovative ideas and discoveries, making it easier to design and build even newer technology. This ever-accelerating cycle of innovation continues to reshape and redesign the world we live in, and it’s the reason why you can sip on an old-fashioned and watch Seinfeld while you’re packed in a metal tube hurtling through the sky 30,000 feet above the Atlantic.
The story of electric motor technology has been no exemption, following this trend of innovation for the past 200 years. Looking back at the invention of the first electric motor in 1832, it’s hard to imagine the impact electric motors have already made on our lives and other technologies, and even harder to imagine the
