John Tyndall

    2 août 1820 – 4 décembre 1893

    John Tyndall fut un physicien de premier plan du XIXe siècle, dont la renommée initiale découla de ses études sur le diamagnétisme. Il réalisa par la suite des découvertes significatives concernant le rayonnement infrarouge et les propriétés physiques de l'air. Tyndall fut également l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages scientifiques influents, rendant la physique expérimentale de pointe accessible à un large public. Son travail se caractérise par sa rigueur expérimentale et sa clarté d'exposition.

    Experimental Researches in Electricity
    • Michael Faraday (1791–1867) was the greatest physicist of the nineteenth century, a pioneer in experimentation in the fields of electricity and magnetism. He is best known for his discovery of the principle of electromagnetic induction and the laws of electrolysis. In Experimental Researches in Electricity, first published in three volumes between 1839 and 1855, Faraday discusses the inquiries that led to his development of the first dynamo (the precursor of modern dynamos and generators), and his establishment of the foundations of classical field theory. His descriptions contain scarcely a hint of mathematics, and he relates the progress of his experiments in direct, clear language. Using the primitive tools available to him in his time, in conjunction with his great imaginative gifts, Faraday explains how he arrived at his profound conclusions with stunning simplicity."The writing is interesting and the expositions are impressive." — Florida Scientist.
