Dynamo machine (replica), 1866

2016-Oct-17

In 1866, Werner von Siemens discovered the dynamo-electric principle and built the first dynamo
machine ‒ a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy economically and lays
the basis for heavy-current technology. Under the decisive influence of innovations developed by
Siemens, the field of electricity generation and transmission virtually exploded beginning in the
1880s. These developments permanently altered the production program of the entire industry.
