'''Jacques-Arsène d'Arsonval''' ([[June 8]] [[1851]] - [[December 13]] [[1940]]) was born in [[La Porcherie]] and was a [[France|French]] [[physician]], [[physicist]] and inventor of the moving-coil [[galvanometer]] and probably of the [[thermocouple]] [[ammeter]]. D'Arsonval was an important contributor to the emerging field of [[electrophysiology]], the study of the effects of [[electricity]] on [[biological organism]]s, in the [[nineteenth century]].
In [[1881]], d'Arsonval proposed tapping the [[OTEC|thermal energy of the ocean]]. But it was d'Arsonval's student, [[Georges Claude]] who actually built the first [[OTEC]] plant in [[Cuba]] in [[1930]].
