James Wimshurst
James Wimshurst (April 13 1832 – January 3, 1903) was an English inventor, engineer, and shipwright. Though Wimshurst did not patent his machines and the various improvements that he made to them, his refinements to the electrostatic generator led to its becoming widely known as the Wimshurst machine.
