Why Ørsted?
Hans Christian Ørsted was born in Rudkøbing in southern Denmark in 1777, becoming a professor in pharmacology in 1806. H.C. Ørsted’s tireless pursuit of answers led him to discover electromagnetism in 1820. His ground-breaking discovery helped pave the way for numerous technological advances, among them being electronic power production.
Throughout his life, H.C. Ørsted became an important figurehead within not only physics, but also within philosophy, poetry and aesthetics, establishing the Royal Danish Polytechnic Institute (today known as the Technical University of Denmark), becoming its first director in 1829. Ørsted helped establish the world we know today, and his curiosity, dedication and interest in nature is exactly what we all need to create a world that runs entirely on green energy.
