ABOUT US
Nicholas Callan (1799 - 1864) was born in Co. Louth, Ireland. He was appointed Professor of Natural Philosophy (Physics) at Maynooth College, Ireland in 1826. He constructed great batteries, electromagnets and electric motors. In 1836 Callan invented the Induction Coil and built numerous examples for his contemporaries. His great coil of 1837 was capable of 15-inch sparks. In 1838 he discovered the principle of the self-induced dynamo, generally credited to Werner Von Siemens 29 years later.
