EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the remarkable first magneto-electric motor ever built by Hippolyte Pixii in approximately 1832. The significance of this invention lies in its pioneering application of Faraday's groundbreaking demonstration from 1831, which revealed that magnetism has the power to generate an electric current. As depicted in this print from R. Wormell's renowned publication "Electricity in the Service of Man" dating back to around 1890, Pixii's motor represents a pivotal moment in the history of electricity. The intricate details captured by this engraving highlight the ingenuity and craftsmanship behind Pixii's creation. This revolutionary device harnessed the forces of magnetism to produce electrical energy, laying the foundation for future advancements in electrical engineering and power generation. Displayed against a backdrop of London, where scientific innovation thrived during that era, this image symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and progress. While it is important to note that commercial use is not mentioned here, one cannot underestimate how Pixii's magneto-electric motor paved the way for countless applications across various industries. Through this historical snapshot preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded of humanity's ability to harness natural phenomena like magnetism and transform them into powerful tools that shape our modern world.
