  1. William Stanley Jr. (November 28, 1858 – May 14, 1916) was an American physicist born in Brooklyn, New York. During his career, he obtained 129 patents covering a variety of electric devices. [1] In 1913, he also patented an all-steel vacuum bottle , and formed the Stanley Bottle Company .

  2. Born Nov. 28, 1858 - Died May 14, 1916. William Stanley Jr. invented an array of electrical devices and is best known for designing the induction coil, the first practical transformer that created alternating current (AC) electricity. Stanleys design allowed high voltages of electricity to safely travel over long distances, making possible ...

  3. William Stanley Jr. Pioneer of the transformer and alternating current (AC) distribution. William Stanley (1858-1916) was an inventor and engineer. He developed the first practical transformer (which spurred the development of AC power) as well as other developments; like an improved electric meter and the first metal thermos bottle (vacuum flask).

  4. William Stanley, Jr. 1858-1916. American inventor who designed the induction coil, or transformer, that revolutionized the transmission of electricity. This device allowed the transmission of electricity over long distances via alternating current (AC), rather than the impractical direct current (DC) in use at that time.

  5. Feb 24, 2023 · William Stanley Jr. (1858-1916) was an American physicist, obtaining 129 patents for electric devices. He designed the first practical AC transformer and distribution system, which served as the basis for modern electrical power distribution.

  7. With John Kelly and Cummings C. Chesney, Stanley formed the Stanley Manufacturing Company, and focused on the area he had pioneered: transformers. The company soon was involved in the biggest power-transmissions jobs in California, and by the late 1890s it had become a valuable and profitable business.
