Before introducing the management and leadership of Positron Magnetics, we have to pay homage to the geniuses who provided the inspiration and education we drew from to create and develop the Positron line of products as well as the research and development into some of the most sophisticated energy production and storage technologies of the 21st century. At Positron we, indeed, stand on the shoulders of giants.
Michael Faraday ( 22 September 1791 - 25 August 1867 ) was an English scientist who contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.
His main discoveries include the principles underlying electromagnetics induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis. He was one of the most influential scientists in history.
It was by his research on the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a direct current that Faraday established the concept of the electromagnetic field in physics. Faraday also established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena.
He similarly discovered the principles of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and the laws of electrolysis. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts that electricity became practical for use in technology.[
Pieter van Musschenbroek ( 14 March 1692 - 19 September 1761 ) was a Dutch scientist. He was a professor in Duisburg, Utrecht, and Leiden, where he held positions in mathematics, philosophy, medicine and astronomy. He invented the world's first capacitor in 1746: the Leyden Jar.
Already during his studies at Leiden University, van Musschenbroek became interested in electrostatics. At that time, transient electrical energy could be generated by friction machines but there was no way to store it. Musschenbroek and his student Andreas Cunaeus discovered that the energy could be stored, in work that also involved Jean-Nicolas-Sébastien Allamand as collaborator.
The apparatus was a glass jar filled with water into which a brass rod had been placed; and the stored energy could be released only by completing an external circuit between the brass rod and another conductor, originally a hand, placed in contact with the outside of the jar. Van Musschenbroek communicated this discovery to René Réaumur in January 1746, and it was Abbé Nollet, the translator of Musschenbroek's letter from Latin, who named the invention the 'Leyden jar'.
By the turn of the 20th century, Nikola Tesla designed an electrical power system based on his theories of using the Earth and its atmosphere as electrical conductors. He filed numerous patents associated with the basic functions of a wireless power transmission system, including transformer design, transmission methods, tuning circuits and methods of signaling.
In addition Tesla spent a great deal of time establishing the theories of radiant energy, explained as the physical energy resulting from electromagnetic radiation, observed as it radiates from sources into the surrounding environment. Radiant energy sources include the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including gamma rays, x-rays, radio frequencies, microwaves, light and heat.
Emil Lenz ( 12 February 1804 - 10 February 1865 ) was a Russian physicist of Baltic German descent who is most noted for formulating Lenz's law in electrodynamics in 1834.
Lenz's law states that the direction of the electric current induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field is such that the magnetic field created by the induced current opposes changes in the initial magnetic field.
Lenz's law predicts the direction of many effects in electromagnetism, such as the direction of voltage induced in an inductor or wire loop by a changing current, or the drag force of eddy currents exerted on moving objects in a magnetic field.
