Nils Gustaf Dalén

摘要

In 1912, the Swedish engineer Nils Gustaf Dalu000e9;n was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of automatic regulators for use in conjunction with gas accumulators for illuminating lighthouses and buoys. The history of his inventiveness and scientific achievements has been unjustly ignored, historically speaking, being closely intertwined with that of AGA, the company that he helped establish, and of which he was president for nearly three decades.
