Famous Energy Scientists and Inventors
Archimedes of Syracuse (287 BC – 212 BC), Greek: is believed to setting enemy ships on fire using an array of mirrors; the Archimedes' screw, used for pumping water.
Gottfried Leibniz (1646 – 1716), German: introduced the "living force" (vis viva) concept which he defined as the product of the mass of an object and its velocity squared.
Sir Isaac Newton (1642 – 1727), English: mechanics and gravitation.
Anders Celsius (1701 – 1744), Swedish: proposed the Celsius temperature scale in 1742.
James Watt (1736 – 1819), Scottish: improvements to the Newcomen steam engine.
Thomas Young (1773 – 1829), English: was possibly the first to use the term "energy" instead of vis viva, in its modern sense in 1807.
Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis (1792 – 1843), French: the first to coin the term "work" for the transfer of energy by a force acting through a distance and described "kinetic energy" in 1829 in its modern sense.
William Rankine (1820 – 1872), Scottish: coined the term "potential energy" in 1853.
Edwin Laurentine Drake (1819 – 1880), American: the first oil driller in the United States.
James Prescott Joule (1818–1889), English: First Law of Thermodynamics, Mechanical Equivalent of Heat.
Nikolaus Otto (1832 - 1891), German: inventor of the first internal-combustion engine to efficiently burn fuel directly in a piston chamber.
William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) (1824 – 1907), Irish-Scottish: formulated the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Rudolf Diesel (1858 – 1913), German: invented the diesel engine in 1893.
Thomas Alva Edison (1847 – 1931), American: first power station; light bulb.
Nikola Tesla (1856 – 1943), Serbian-American: alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase system of electrical distribution and the AC motor.
Robert Goddard (1882 – 1945), American: the world's first liquid-fueled rocket, 1926.
Henry Ford (1863 – 1947), American: founder of Ford Motor Company; assembly line and mass production.
Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955), German-American: theorized that mass and energy are equivalent and interchangeable properties according to Einstein's famous formula: E=mc².
Frederick M. Jones (1893 – 1961), American: refrigeration improvements in transportation of perishable goods.
David Crosthwait (1898 – 1976), African-American: invented heating systems, refrigeration methods, temperature regulating devices, and vacuum pumps.
Louis Roberts (1913 - 1995), African-American: microwave technology.
Meredith C. Gourdine (1929 - 1998), African-American: converting low-grade coal into inexpensive, transportable and high-voltage electrical energy.
