Grant Brambel yet. In the Minneapo-
is Tribune of Monday appeared the fol-
owing: Genius does not confne itself
large cities or prominent places. The
greatest authors, poets, statesmen, patri
ITS and inventors spring, many of them,
rom obscurity to fame, from the little
1amlet or the quiet burg.
The village of Sleepy Eye has been
nade famous by the recent inventions of
trant Brambel, the Western Union op-
lator of that village. Besides Won
lelful rotary engine that he has lnven-
ell and patented and for which he will
Yceive not less than $5,000,O0O, he has
lst received a patent on another very
nportant piece of machinery that will
a blessing to mankind, dynamo for
18th arc or incandescent lighting. The
Ill theory that but one current of elec-
sicity could be derived from the arma-i
are Of any dynamo is utterly annihila-
ID by the recent invention of Mr.. Bran
els arcadescents dynamo. He has set
side all doubts and theories by taking
rom one to two thousand seperate, dis
net circuits from tue one dynamo and
le one armature by very simple con-
'ivance, so that it can be easily under
TODD. ! !.
BY the new invention<an arc circuit
nd an incandesceut ci fcuit from the ar
nature can be obtained just the same as
1ough two dynamos were used. In the
o. 9 machine there can be derived the
re current for stra Gets and the incandes-
snt for inside lighting, the number Of
indlc power to be decided upon by the
qksers of the system. The new system has
leen thoroughly tested and is now in
practical operation at Sleepy Eye and
proves that it will be great saving 70
small or large towns where the two sy$-
TENS have heretofore been in use.
AS to the practical operation of this
new dynamo, Mr.. Brambel says that b
dynamo can be built for any number off
circuits, leading in every direction, i'll
stead Of having number of dynamos to
10 the same work. For instance, it will
Be of great value to electric roads, as
currents may be had on every street in a
ity, independent Of each other, SO that
f one wire gives out or breaksit will
1T affect the other.
Another very important factor about
this new invention will be its adaptable
lty to the telegraphic wires throughout
the world. The machine can be so con-
structed that numerous wire: can lead
from its commutator in any degree of
strength required on the lines, be they
short or long. It will DO away with the
obnoxious glass jar, zinc and copper, to-
gether with the necessary attention re-
uuired to keep them in order. The ma
chine can be run by a small motor or
steam engine, and is automatic n all its
details. From a machine of 1900 sepa-
rate segmcntal windings, 1000 wires
may be run and the 200 vacant segments
can be idle. In case one becomes mac
tive the holder moves forward to anoth-
er, and works the same as if nothing had
happe ned; or, if one should burn 'out,
the others come into play. }
Scgments are so adjusted that q cur
rent can he given from a low to Il very
high potential, the currents beng SO fine
that there is no perceptible difference in
the. machines compared with that given
<the gravity batteries the telegraph
.ompanies use o-day. AS a matter Of
ecsfnonly 10 the companies, the inventor
makes great. claims. Mr.. Brambel also
says that the new system will greatly as
sist the work as operators by giving a
goodcurrent in dry as we'll as wet wealth
sr.
Since this new dynamo has been pat
rnted Mr.sBrambel has been visited by
various electrical experts, who have made
big offers for its sale, but the inventor
ifsnat vet satisfied with his invention.
|FHe is figuring and experimenting on al
attachment that will further enlarge its
usefulness. Mr.. Brambel has labored
for the past 16 years on this invention,
and is now satisfied that his machine will
90 away with the old style machines.
His rotary engine alone will net him
in the neigh ghborhood Of five million dol =
