The electromotor
The goal of the scientist is to create a more powerful electric motor with the possibility of its practical application. In 1834 Jacobi builds an electric motor based on the principle of attraction and repulsion between the electromagnets.The engine consisted of two groups of magnets: four fixed was installed on the frame, and the rest on the rotating rotor. -
Period: to
creating electroplating and telegraph synchro
In 1838, Jacobi made his most remarkable discovery, namely, opened the electroplating, giving rise to the whole direction of applied electrochemistry. Significant progress has been achieved in the field of telegraphy. He constructed a Telegraph synchronous actions with a direct (without decoding) indication in the receiver of the transmitted letters and numbers and the world's first teleprinter -
Work Jacobi
received deserved recognition in 1839 he was appointed to the rank of adjunct of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, in three years became extraordinary, and in 1847 — an ordinary academician.
