Who is that - the solution

The Nobel Prize winner who wanted mankind to benefit from his discovery is Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen.



Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (27 March 1845 – 10 February 1923) was a German physicist, who, on 8 November 1895, produced and detected electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range today known as X-rays or Röntgen rays, an achievement that earned him the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.

Following transliteration conventions for characters accented by an umlaut, "Röntgen" in English is spelled "Roentgen", and that is the usual rendering found in English-language scientific and medical references.

Electro in series on four wheels

Environmentally friendly, elegant and suitable for everyday use - the latest BOcruiser from the FH Bochum shows how it works. The only 250g BOcruiser is planned and implemented mainly by manual work using coal fibres.

Supported by employees of the high-tech manufacturer Composite Impulse, a picture-book example of energy efficiency is created. Minimal weight is, of course, the central design requirement. As concerns robustness and weight, the fibre composite material with carbon fibres is ideal and brings the BOcruiser very close to the goal they have set for themselves.

Here is the solution to the preceding question

Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of the induction phenomenon in 1831. Faraday found that the electromotive force (EMF) produced around a closed path is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through any surface bounded by that path.

Now I think I'm getting it

Who discovered electromagnetic induction in 1831...

I should keep the answer in mind.
