 ==== The prototype AC generator ==== ==== The prototype AC generator ====
-The prototype AC generator was built in Francealmost immediately after the discovery of the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. It was built in 1832 by the mechanic Hippolyte Pixii. It is an electrical machine that converts mechanical energy, drawn from an external device that drives the alternator, into electrical energy in the form of alternating current.

 ==== Appearance of the periodic table ==== ==== Appearance of the periodic table ====
-The modern appearance of the periodic table is due to Niels Bohr, who divided it into groups and periods. Groups are usually written in columns and periods in rows. Groups are divided into main groups and side groups. In main groups, periods occur every eight consecutive atoms, which is because there are exactly electrons on the shells.
