How Did The Dynamo Revolutionized Society

The dynamo was a machine made to generate electricity. It was invented in the 1830s as a substitute to steam powered machines. This machine continued to be improved throughout the 20th century and still continues to be improved today. This machine was first thought of and built by Michael Faraday in 1832 and later Joseph hennery and Nikola tesla made some improvements. The dynamo made way to inventions that later revolutionized society and the world that we know of today.

The dynamo, which was the first model of the generator, was a revolutionizing idea. It was the first ever machine to generate electricity. The dynamo produced direct currents, but unfortunately it was not as efficient because at some time the rotor would turn completely over changing the

One of these people was Nikola Tesla, a Serbian – American inventor, which revolutionized his time period. Nikola tesla is considered to be one of the most important scientist of all time. He invented things such as the remote control, wireless telegraph, and alternating current (which is the improvement to the dynamo). When tesla was in college, he saw how inefficient the dynamo was and decided that he could improve the efficiency and cheapen the machine. He said that the direct current was not a really good idea because at some time the poles would change and if the poles switches they would have to restart and that is not good thing, so he proposed the alternating current. The alternating current works through a system that occurs because of magnetism. In this new model of the dynamo the rotor inside moves in circles generating electricity without switching the poles and therefore it makes the machine more efficient and cheaper. The alternating current invented by Nikola Tesla was rode way to technology that we use today like the automobile and the
