Today (August 26, 1923) is the Memorial Day of Hertha Ayrton, who researched the vibrations of light in the electric circuit and in sand and water.

 

Hertha Ayrton was born on April 28, 1854, in Bobby Sarah Marx, Hampshire, England. The third child was born to Livy Marx, a Jew who lived and worked as a watchmaker from Poland, and his mother, Alice Theresa Moss. His father died in 1861, leaving behind seven children and a pregnant wife. Sarah then went on to care for her younger siblings. When he was 9, he moved to London on a birthday invitation with his parents. There they were able to study with their children. He was known among his friends and teachers as an angry, uncivilized man. His relatives introduced him to science and mathematics. At the age of 16, she began working as a homemaker for children.

 

Ayton was involved in the oppressed women's movement as a teenager. This was followed by contact with Barbara Bodison, co-founder of Cambridge Girdon College. Bodison helped Ayrton attend Girdon College and eventually donated his property to Ayrton. Ayton studied mathematics at Cotton College and physics with Richard Clause Book. While studying at the University of Cambridge, Ayton developed the Sphygmomanometer. He not only founded the Cotton College Fire Brigade but also founded the Mathematical Society with Salt Scott. Although Ayton received a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1880, the University of Cambridge did not award her a degree because she was a woman. In 1881 he graduated from the University of London with a Bachelor of Science degree as an external student.

 

Returning to London, Ayton taught her how to sew flowers on a cloth and ran a group for working women to take care of her alternatively able-bodied sister. He used the mathematics he had learned to solve many challenges. She has published these in the Educational Times under the title 'Mathematical Questions and Their Answers. He also taught mathematics at Hill and Yale's high schools in the country. In 1884 Ayton invented and patented a nocturnal divider. This tool is capable of dividing a nozzle into as many equal parts as possible. Splits can be enlarged and minimized. This tool will be helpful for painters, engineers, and architects.

 

This is Eva's first discovery. Her patented endeavor was financed by Louisiana Goldsmith and her pioneer, Barbara Bodison. Her invention was exhibited at the Women's Exhibition and was well received. Aydon was the first patentee to receive a patent in 1884. It has received 26 patents to date. 5 of these are mathematical related. 13 Circle lamp and electrode related. The other is related to the driving force of the wind. He studied electrical engineering and physics in 1884 at Aydon, Pinsbury College of Engineering. He married his former teacher on May 6, 1885, and supported his research on physics and electricity. Following this, he was involved in his research on the electric circuit.

 

At the end of the 19th century, the use of electric loop lamps in public places became more widespread. The big problem was that the lights were flashing and hiss. In this regard, Ayton wrote and published articles in the magazine "Electrocyan" stating that the reason for this is the contact of oxygen with the carbon blocks used to make the circular arc. In 1899 he became the first person to read an article he published at the Institute of Electrical Engineers. "His noise from the electric arc" is the article's name. Following this, she became the first woman to join the company. It was not until 1958 that another woman emerged after him. When asked for permission to read their article like this in the Royal Society, it was denied because Eva was a woman.

 

In 1901, Eva read John Boe's article on the mechanism of the electric arc and how it works. His contribution to electrical engineering in the late 19th century was widely recognized at home and abroad. In 1899, Eva presided over the physics section of the International Women's Conference in London. Eva addressed the 1900 International Electricity Conference in Paris. Her success here led to the participation of women in the General Committee and Divisional Committees of the British Society for the Advancement of Science. In 1902, Ayton published a book entitled Circle of the Circle, which he published in 1895 and 1896. Iodine's role in electrical engineering has been confirmed by this publication. However, Aydon was not well received by influential and reputable scientific organizations such as the Royal Society.

 

After the publication of Eva's book on the electric circuit, in 1902, John Perry, a member of the Royal Society and a renowned electrical engineer, proposed the name Ayton as a member of the Royal Society. But the Royal Society, which refused to accept married women as members, rejected Eva's petition. Aydon became the first woman to receive this honor in 1904 when she read the article "The Origin and Evolution of Vibration Symbols" at the Royal Society. In 1906, Ayton was awarded the Hughes Prize by the Royal Society for his research on the electric circuit and sand vibrations. Ivan is the first owner of this record. And until 2015, there were only two such proud women, including Ayton.

 

Ayton completed seven articles for the Royal Society between 1901 and 1929. The last article was read after Eva died. Eva concludes her research papers with the British Society and the Physics Society. The ion formed in the water cycle and the air cycle evolved into the ion fan. These were widely used to eliminate toxic fumes in bunkers during the First World War. Due to Ayton's earnest efforts, 100,000 devices were manufactured and used in the Western Hemisphere. Ayton was instrumental in founding the International Federation of Women's Universities in 1919 and the National Science Workers' Union in 1920. On August 26, 1923, at the age of 69, Hertha Ayrton, who had been researching the vibrations of light and sand in an electric circuit, was poisoned by an insect in Lansing, New Cottage, and passed away.

 

In 1923, two years after Ayton's death, Ayton's lifelong friend Ottley Hancock set up the Hota Ayton Research Fund at Coyton College. A blue inscription commemorating Eva was unveiled in 2007 in Netflix Square, Bettington. In 2009 the Panasonic Foundation established the Hota Mock Ayton Fund to celebrate its 25th anniversary. In 2010, Aydon emerged as one of the 10 most influential women in the history of science, along with female members of the Royal Society and teachers of science history. The British Society for the History of Science 2015 established an award in the name of Ayton. In 2016, the University of Cambridge University decided to name a part of the Northwest Cambridge development after Ayrton. In 2017, the University of Sheffield Hall named their Stem Center Ayton.
