	Nicholas Callan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nicholas Callan (20 December 1799 – 14 January 1864), an Irish physicist, invented the induction coil in 1836.
		Callan was a Roman Catholic priest and the professor of natural philosophy at St Patrick's College, Maynooth, from 1826 until his death.
		The Callan Building on the north campus of NUI Maynooth, a university which was part of St Patrick's College until 1997, was named in his honour.

		Callan was ordained a priest in 1823 and went to Rome to study at Sapienza University, obtaining a doctorate in divinity in 1826.
		Callan’s invention of the induction coil was attributed to the German instrument-maker Heinrich Ruhmkorff (1803-1877).
		Callan was largely forgotton by the wider world of science mainly because Maynooth was a theological university and science had a low status on the curriculum.

		Nicholas Joseph Callan was born on December 22, 1799, the fifth child in a family of six or seven, at Darver, between Drogheda and Dundalk.
		On the resignation of Dr. Denvir, Callan was appointed to the chair of natural philosophy in Maynooth in 1826, and he remained in that post until his death in 1864.
		Callan sent a replica of his coil to William Sturgeon (1783-1850) in London in 1837, and it was exhibited to members of the Electrical Society there to their great amazement.

		Nicholas Joseph Callan, Irish priest, scientist, and inventor, was a pioneer in the development of electrical science; inventor of the induction coil, which led to the modern transformer.
		Nicholas Joseph Callan was born on December 22, 1799, the fifth child in a family of six or seven, at Darver, between Drogheda and Dundalk, Ireland.
		Callan was influenced by the work of his friend William Sturgeon (1783-1850) who in 1825 invented the first electromagnet, and by the work of Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry with the induction coil.

	Induction coil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "Induction coil" is also used for a coil carrying high-frequency AC and intended to induce eddy currents to heat objects placed in the interior of the coil, such as in induction heating or zone melting.
		The induction coil was discovered during early experiments with electricity, probably by Nicholas Callan in 1836, and further developed by Heinrich Ruhmkorff.
		This type of disruptive discharge coil remains in common use as the "ignition coil" or "spark coil" in the ignition system of internal combustion engines.

		Preceding her tenure at Exelixis, Dr. Callan was head of Business Development at Large Scale Biology Corporation (LSBC), where she was a key member of the management team responsible for the company's successful $96 million public offering.
		During this time Dr. Callan was responsible for business development across all corporate functions, including pharmaceuticals, genomics, proteomics, and biomanufacturing.
		Callan began her career in a research position at BASF Corporation in the U.S., enjoying positions of increased responsibility and eventually being promoted to a global position in business development at headquarters in Ludwigshafen, Germany.

		In 1823, after his ordination, he went to study in Rome where he was intrigued by the work of Galvani and Volta, two of the key pioneers in the study of electricity.
		Callan discovered that the faster that he interrupted the current, the bigger the spark.

		Callan's coil was built using a horseshoe shaped iron bar wound with a secondary coil of thin insulated wire under a separate winding of thick insulated wire as the "primary" coil.
		Each time a battery's current through the "primary" coil was interrupted, a high voltage current was produced in the electrically separate "secondary" coil.
		By 1837, Callan used a clock mechanism to rock a wire in and out of a small cup of mercury to interrupt the circuit 20 times/sec on a giant induction machine, producing 15-inch sparks (estimated at 600,000 volts).«

		Many of these exhibits are the inventions of Natural History Professor Nicholas Callan (1799 – 1864), and include very early electric cells and some of the world’s first induction coils.
		A student of Callan, and later himself a professor at the college, was Gerard Molloy, who went on to become an authority on radio and communications.
