Home›Electrical Engineering›InventorBrowse ByInventorThis dimension credits the specific person who actually invented a technology. Wikipedia names "Alexander Graham Bell" as the first person "granted a United States patent" for the telephone in 1876, even though "this instrument was further developed by many others" afterward. Browsing by inventor gathers every invention credited to the same person.FactsInventorSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonMain Engineering BranchWell-attestedElectrical Engineering 1Field Founding EraWell-attested19 2InventorFilter Results68 entriesFieldAllCircuit Components And Semiconductors (17)Communication Devices (25)Household Appliances (4)Lighting And Detection Devices (8)Other Electrical Inventions (5)Power Generation And Motors (9)Recording And Data Storage (2)Tools And Measuring Instruments (1)Transportation Electrical Systems (2)In FieldAllElectrical Engineering (68)YearAll1745 (2)1746 (2)1821 (3)1830 (1)1831 (1)1832 (2)1834 (2)1837 (3)1843 (1)1856 (1)1876 (3)1879 (1)1884 (1)1886 (1)1887 (1)1893 (1)1896 (3)1897 (1)1901 (2)1904 (3)1906 (1)1908 (1)1923 (1)1927 (3)1931 (1)1935 (2)1937 (3)1938 (4)1947 (4)1949 (1)1952 (2)1954 (1)1958 (2)1960 (2)1962 (2)1963 (1)1964 (1)1970 (1)1975 (1)1987 (2)1998 (1)2001 (1)In GroupAllCircuit Components And Semiconductors (17)Communication Devices (25)Household Appliances (4)Lighting And Detection Devices (8)Other Electrical Inventions (5)Power Generation And Motors (9)Recording And Data Storage (2)Tools And Measuring Instruments (1)Transportation Electrical Systems (2)Associated WithAllArc lamp (2)Common battery system (3)Fluorescent Lamp (1)HP 200A (2)Incandescent Light Bulb (1)Radio (1)Space-time block code (3)The Internet (1)The Laser (1)The Optical Fiber (5)The Telephone (1)Vacuum Tube (1)Washing Machine (3)Place InventedAllCalifornia (1)Patent GrantedAll1745-10-11 (2)1837-01-01 (2)1843-05-27 (1)1844-05-24 (3)1850-01-01 (1)1866-12-24 (1)1876-01-01 (1)1876-03-07 (3)1896-06-02 (3)1904-04-30 (2)1923-11-20 (1)1930-08-26 (3)1938-01-01 (1)1939-12-01 (2)1948-06-26 (3)1958-09-12 (2)1960-05-16 (2)1962-08-08 (2)1973-01-16 (1)Birth YearAll287 BCE (1)1692 (1)1700 (1)1763 (1)1778 (1)1791 (2)1801 (1)1802 (2)1806 (1)1808 (1)1810 (1)1816 (1)1820 (1)1835 (1)1839 (1)1844 (1)1847 (2)1849 (2)1850 (1)1856 (1)1858 (1)1859 (1)1861 (1)1871 (1)1873 (1)1874 (1)1876 (1)1877 (1)1878 (1)1881 (2)1888 (2)1892 (1)1894 (1)1896 (1)1902 (1)1903 (2)1906 (2)1907 (1)1908 (1)1910 (1)1911 (1)1913 (1)1918 (1)1920 (1)1921 (1)1923 (1)1924 (2)1926 (1)1927 (2)1933 (1)1936 (1)1941 (1)1942 (1)1947 (1)1950 (1)1951 (1)1956 (1)1962 (1)Death YearAll212 BCE (1)1829 (1)1851 (1)1872 (1)1874 (1)1875 (1)1879 (1)1889 (1)1901 (1)1906 (1)1913 (1)1922 (1)1929 (1)1931 (1)1937 (1)1943 (1)1945 (1)1946 (1)1957 (1)1958 (1)1963 (1)1968 (1)1970 (1)1971 (1)1973 (1)1982 (1)1987 (1)1989 (1)1990 (1)1991 (1)2001 (1)2005 (2)2007 (1)2012 (1)2018 (1)RoleAllDesigner (1)Entrepreneur (2)Inventor (36)Scientist-Engineer (19)Show ResultsBrowseComparePieter van MusschenbroekInventor2 entriesRobert D.
