(en) Gowin Knight è stato un fisico britannico principalmente noto per aver creato, nel 1745, un innovativo processo di magnetizzazione dell'acciaio, e per essere stato il primo direttore del British Museum di Londra. (it) Gowin Knight (Corringham (Essex), 1713 - 8 juni 1772) was de uitvinder van een proces voor het maken van sterk gemagnetiseerd staal in 1745. Het gemagnetiseerd staal werd gebruikt om naalden te maken voor kompassen. De Londense instrumentmaker George Adams werkte voor Knight om de kompassen te fabriceren. De Royal Navy nam zijn verbeterde kompassen in 1752 in gebruik. Knight werd in 1756 de eerste hoofdbibliothecaris van het British Museum. Knight kreeg in 1747 de Copley Medal.

Był także pierwszym głównym bibliotekarzem Muzeum Brytyjskiego. Laureat Medalu Copleya (1747). (pl) Gowin Knight (Corringham, 10 de setembro de 1713 — 8 de junho de 1772) foi um físico inglês. Descobriu em 1745 um processo para produzir aço magnetizado, utilizado como agulha de uma bússola de precisão. Recebeu a Medalha Copley em 1747, em reconhecimento a seus descobrimentos, e em 1757 sua bússola foi adaptada para uso da Marinha Real Britânica, e para sua construção foi engajado o fabricante londrino . Foi o primeiro diretor do Museu Britânico, em 1756. (pt) Gowin Knight (nacido en , Essex, Inglaterra en 1713, fallecido el 8 de junio de 1772) fue un científico e inventor británico, particularmente conocido por su desarrollo de un proceso para crear acero fuertemente magnetizado en 1745. El acero magnetizado tenía una importante función en las brújulas como parte de la aguja. Un artesano londinense, George Adams, creó un negocio en torno a las brújulas de Knight. Sus brújulas mejoradas fueron usadas por la Royal Navy desde 1752. (es) Gowin Knight (10 septembre 1713-8 juin 1772) est un entrepreneur et scientifique anglais né à Corringham en Angleterre. Knight est l'inventeur d'un procédé pour magnétiser l'acier plus fortement et durablement que les aimants naturels vers 1740. Il ne publie pas sa méthode — à l'époque les brevets n'existent pas et le secret est le seul moyen de conserver un avantage sur ses concurrents —, toutefois ses résultats sont publiés dans les Philosophical Transactions en 1744, art. 8, et 1745, art. 3. Ses secrets de fabrications meurent en grande partie avec lui. (fr)
