Through such people as Nikola Tesla, Galileo Ferraris, Oliver Heaviside, Thomas Edison, Ottó Bláthy, Ányos Jedlik, Sir Charles Parsons, Joseph Swan, George Westinghouse, Ernst Werner von Siemens, Alexander Graham Bell and Lord Kelvin, electricity was turned from a scientific curiosity into an essential tool for modern life, becoming a driving force for the Second Industrial Revolution.

* 1885: Galileo Ferraris of Livorno Piemonte, Kingdom of Italy reaches the concept of a rotating magnetic field.

( Galileo Ferraris independently reached the same concept in 1885 ).

The three-phase system was invented by Galileo Ferraris and Nikola Tesla in 1887 and 1888.

An important institution of Taranto is the " Galileo Ferraris " high school, founded in 1848, located in via Mascherpa 10.

A prototype induction motor was demonstrated in Europe in 1885 by Galileo Ferraris.

Based on this, practical alternating current induction motors seem to have been independently invented by Nikola Tesla and Galileo Ferraris.

The discovery of the rotating magnetic field is generally attributed to two inventors, the Italian physicist and electrical engineer Galileo Ferraris, and the Austrian / Serbian inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla.

* Galileo Ferraris: the rotating magnetic field

The use of polyphase coils in electrical power systems was pioneered by the engineers Nikola Tesla, Galileo Ferraris, and Michail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky.

Alternating current had first developed in Europe due to the work of Guillaume Duchenne ( 1850s ), Ganz Works ( 1870s ), Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti ( 1880s ), Lucien Gaulard, and Galileo Ferraris.

Westinghouse purchased a US patent option on induction motors from Galileo Ferraris in an attempt to own a patent that would supersede Tesla's.

At the turn of the century, a branch of the University formed the first nucleus of the Polytechnic under the guidance of Galileo Ferraris.

Named after the Renaissance astronomer Galileo Galilei, it was launched on October 18, 1989, by the Space Shuttle Atlantis on the STS-34 mission.

* Galileo – 18 October 1989 – Venus flyby, first Asteroid flyby, first Asteroid moon discovery, first Jupiter orbiter / atmospheric probe

On October 21, 2011 two Galileo IOV-1 & IOV-2 satellites were launched using a Soyuz-ST rocket, in the " first Russian Soyuz vehicle ever launched from Europe ’ s Spaceport in French Guiana.

* 21 October 2011-A Soyuz-2 carrying two Galileo satellites was launched.

This report was issued in October 1608 and distributed across Europe, leading to experiments by other scientists, such as the Italian Paolo Sarpi, who received the report in November, the Englishman Thomas Harriot, who was using a six-powered telescope by the summer of 1609, and Galileo Galilei, who soon improved the device.

Deployment occurred on schedule at 19: 15 EDT on 18 October, slightly more than six hours after launch, and the IUS successfully boosted Galileo toward Venus on the first leg of its six-year journey to Jupiter.

STS-34 Atlantis ( October 18 to October 23, 1989 ) was a 5-day mission during which the deployed the Galileo spacecraft, on its journey to explore Jupiter, operated the Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Instrument ( SSBUV ) to map atmospheric ozone and performed numerous secondary experiments involving radiation measurements, polymer morphology, lightning research, microgravity effects on plants and a student experiment on ice crystal growth in space.

Galileo did not appear on the racecourse until late October 2000, when he was entered in a sixteen-runner maiden race at Leopardstown.

The two remained friends after Galileo left Padua and from the period of October 22, 1610 to July 20, 1641, thirty-three letters from Liceti to Galileo survive, along with twelve from Galileo to Liceti ( which would have been lost had Liceti not inserted them into his own published works ).

The Academy has its origins in the Accademia Pontificia dei Nuovi Lincei (" Pontifical Academy of the New Lynxes "), founded in 1847 intended as a more closely supervised successor to the Accademia dei Lincei (" Academy of Lynxes ") established in Rome in 1603, by the learned Roman Prince, Federico Cesi ( 1585 – 1630 ) who was a young botanist and naturalist, and which claimed Galileo Galilei as its president. The Accademia dei Lincei survives as a wholly separate institution.
