1808‐35 French maker of physical machines and instruments. He is famous for constructing the first generator in 1832. The principle of the generator is based on the law of electromagnetic induction discovered by M. Faraday in 1831. Pixi's generator of 1832 produced alternating current by manually turning a permanent magnet, and later, following a suggestion from AM Ampere, he added a commutator to produce direct current. Pixi's generators can be seen today at the Science Museum in London and the Deutsches Museum in Munich. These generators were mainly used for physics demonstrations.

1808‐35 フランスの物理機械器具製造家。1832年に最初の発電機をつくったことで著名である。発電機の原理は,31年にM.ファラデーが発見した電磁誘導の法則にある。32年のピキシの発電機は永久磁石を手回しして交流を得るものであり,のちA.M.アンペールの示唆で整流子をつけ加えて直流をとり出せるようにした。ピキシの発電機は,今日ロンドンの科学博物館とミュンヘンのドイツ博物館で見ることができる。これらの発電機は主として物理デモンストレーション用に使われた。 出典 株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について 情報 |
