  • James Wimshurst 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.
  • James Wimshurst war ein englischer Erfinder.
  • James Wimshurst était un physicien britannique. Il est le créateur en 1883 de la machine électrostatique à influence qui porte son nom : la machine de Wimshurst. Il a par ailleurs montré la possibilité de disperser et de réfléchir les rayons X.
  • Wimshurst divenne un membro dell'Institution of Electrical Engineers nel 1889. Nel 1891, egli riferì di una macchina che generava corrente alternata ad alta tensione. Nel 1896, le sue macchine a dischi multipli (fino a 8 dischi) trovarono un nuovo impiego come generatori di raggi Roentgen per la radiografia e l'elettroterapia. Per questo contributo alla scienza medica, Wimshurst venne eletto Fellow della Royal Society. Morì a Clapham, all'età di 70 anni.
  • James Wimshurst was een Engels uitvinder, technicus en scheepsbouwmeester. Alhoewel hij zijn elektriseermachines en de verbeteringen die hij erop doorvoerde niet patenteerde is hij toch bekend als de uitvinder van de naar hem vernoemde Wimshurstmachine.
  • James Wimshurst foi um inventor inglês, engenheiro e carpinteiro naval. Embora não tenha patenteado suas máquinas e diversas melhorias em máquinas eletrostáticas de sua época, suas afinações para os geradores eletrostáticos levaram-no a tornar-se amplamente conhecido pela Máquina de Wimshurst.
