Osterhoudt-Energy

2. He was the first to flow electricity through a fine platinum wire inside a glass chamber evacuated of air, producing sustained electric light.
4. His law states that opposites attract. The unit of electric charge is named after him.
6. The units of electrical conductance are named in his honor.
10. A former employee of Thomas Edison, he later feuded with with Edison over the superiority of AC vs DC power distribution.
13. This professor of childbirth postulated that brains generated "animal electricity". His name is associated with a zinc coating used on steel to prevent corrosion.
15. Shorten this scientist's name by removing the last "a" to get a unit of measure of electromotive force
16. Once a professor of mathematics and natural philosophy at the Albany Academy, his experiments focused on coil winding methods led to the creation of the most powerful electromagnets of his time. The unit of measure of inductance is named after him.
18. One time apprenticed as a shoemaker and employed as bootmaker, he preferred military service and is credited with the invention of the first electromagnet and contributor to the development of the magneto.
19. We use the term "Amp" to denote a measure of current because of this man.
20. He received a Nobel Prize in physics in the year 2000 for his 1958 contribution towards creating the first integrated circuit at Texas Instruments.

1. He said, "That as we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of others, we should be glad of an Opportunity to serve others by any Invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously." He also flew kites.
3. This pharmacist discovered electromagnetism.
5. His law states that the current in a circuit is directly proportional to the applied voltage.
7. This man was eventually forced out of the company that bears his name by J.P. Morgan. After he left the company switched to AC power distribution which he had fought against.
8. Dubbed the Wizard of Schenectady, this man once sent Ford an itemized bill listing, $1 for a chalk mark and $9,999 for knowing where to put it.
9. This man will keep you cool during hot summers.
11. Originally apprenticed to a bookmaker, he introduced the terms "electrolyte" and "electrodes". Take away the "ay" from his name and you have the units of capacitance.
12. Originally apprenticed to a physician, he later discovered the anesthetic effect of nitrous oxide, and used electricity to isolate the elements potassium, sodium, barium, calcium, strontium, magnesium, and silicon. He also developed the miner's safety lamp, which was not an electrical invention.
14. The inventor of the dimmer switch (and numerous other electrical devices) he holds over 400 patents.
17. The units of frequency are named in his honor.
