          Zénobe Gramme

          Belgian electrical engineer (1826–1901)

          Zénobe Théophile Gramme (French pronunciation:[zenɔbteɔfilɡʁam]; 4 April 1826 – 20 January 1901) was a Belgianelectrical engineer.

          Despite being poorly educated and remaining semi-literate throughout his life, he was the inventor of the first electrical motor that was.

          6. He was born at Jehay-Bodegnée on 4 April 1826, the sixth child of Mathieu-Joseph Gramme,[1] and died at Bois-Colombes on 20 January 1901. He invented the Gramme machine, a type of direct currentdynamo capable of generating smoother (less AC) and much higher voltages than the dynamos known to that point.

          Career

          Gramme was poorly educated and semi-literate throughout his life. His talent was in handicraft and when he left school he became a joiner. After moving to Paris he took a job as a model maker at a company that manufactured electrical equipment and there became interested in technology.[2]

          Having built an improved dynamo, Gramme, in association with Hippolyte Fontaine, opened a factory to develop the device.
