A short history of electric motors - Part 1 the magneto-electric and electromagnetic phenomena, i.e. the reversibility of electric generator and motor. Side view of a portable generator, showing the gasoline engine. Historical developments. Before the connection between magnetism. electric generator, any machine that converts mechanical energy to electricity for transmission and distribution By Gordon R. Slemon | View Edit History. The era of large-scale electric power distribution arguably began on Aug, when water flowing over Niagara Falls was diverted through a pair of high-speed turbines that were coupled to two 5,horsepower generators. Based on this. Faraday also built the first electromagnetic generator – the Faraday disk. Word of Faraday’s law spread and in , Frenchman Hippolyte Pixii built the first dynamo generator. His model created pulses of electricity separated by no current. By accident, he also created the first alternator. Edmund Altenkirch was the first to use the constant property model to derive the maximum efficiency of a thermoelectric generator () as well as the performance of a cooler () when the design and operating conditions are fully optimized [6].
