Heinrich Daniel Ruhmkorff
1803‐77
He was born in Hanover, Germany, and was active in Paris as an electrical machinery and equipment manufacturer. He is famous for creating the induction coil. He trained as a potter's wheel worker, and gradually came to specialize in precision machining. He opened a factory in Paris in 1839, and manufactured experimental machinery and equipment at the request of AM Ampère and others. The induction coil was created by the American CG Page in the late 1830s, but the one made by Rümkorff in 1851 was famous in Europe. The induction coil is a device that generates high voltage alternating current from low voltage direct current to create sparks, and at the time it served as a bridge between frictional electricity (static electricity) and Voltaic electricity (dynamic electricity).

ドイツのハノーファーに生まれ,パリで活躍した電気機械器具製造家。誘導コイルをつくったことで有名である。ろくろ細工を修業し,しだいに精密加工を専門とするようになった。1839年にパリで工場を開業し,A.M.アンペールらの求めに応じて実験用機械器具を製造した。誘導コイルは1830年代末にアメリカのページC.G.Pageによってつくられたが,ヨーロッパでは51年のリュームコルフのものが有名であった。誘導コイルは低電圧直流から高電圧交流を発生して火花を飛ばす装置であって,当時においては摩擦電気(静電気)とボルタ電気(動電気)との間を橋渡しするものであった。
