Hjorths electro-magnetic motive engine 1849
SHjorth (1801- 1870), Danish inventor Hjorths electro-magnetic motive engine. The motor was a significant development from earlier electro-magnetic engines, as it eliminated the electric spark that produced a destroying effect on conducting metals. This in turn broke the current, which had previously been a problem in engines of this type. Date: 1849

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the groundbreaking electro-magnetic motive engine designed by Danish inventor, Søren Hjorth, in 1849. Hjorth's engine represented a significant leap forward in the development of electro-magnetic engines, as it effectively addressed the issue of electric sparks that had plagued earlier designs. These sparks, which were produced when the electric current passed through conducting metals, caused damage and ultimately broke the current. Hjorth's innovative solution involved the use of a permanent magnet instead of an electromagnet, which eliminated the need for an electric current to create a magnetic field. This ingenious design allowed the engine to operate smoothly and efficiently, without the destructive effects of electric sparks. The engine's intricate mechanism, consisting of a series of coils and magnets, harnessed the power of electricity and magnetism to generate motion. The image captures the intricate details of this pioneering invention, which marked an important milestone in the history of electrical engineering. Søren Hjorth's electro-magnetic motive engine paved the way for further advancements in the field, demonstrating the potential of electricity as a source of power for machinery. This print serves as a testament to Hjorth's ingenuity and his invaluable contribution to the scientific community during the 19th century.
