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]]. ==See also== * [[Oudin coil]] ==External links== *http://chem.ch.huji.ac.il/~eugeniik/history/arsonval.html ==Further reading== * {{cite encyclopedia | last = Culotta | first = Charles A. | title = Arsonval, Arsène D' | encyclopedia = [[Dictionary of Scientific Biography]] | volume = 1 | pages = 302-305 | publisher = Charles Scribner's Sons | location = New York | date = 1970 | isbn = 0684101149 }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Arsonval, Jacques Arsene d'}} {{physicist-stub}} [[Category:1851 births|Arsonval, Jacques Arsene d']] [[Category:1940 deaths|Arsonval, Jacques Arsene d']] [[Category:Collège de France faculty]] [[Category:French physicists|Arsonval, Jacques Arsene d']] [[Category:Biophysicists|Arsonval, Jackques Arsene d']] [[de:Jacques-Arsène d’Arsonval]] [[es:Arsène d'Arsonval]] [[fr:Arsène d'Arsonval]] [[nl:Jacques-Arsène d'Arsonval]] [[pt:Jacques-Arsène d'Arsonval]] [[ro:Jacques-Arsène d'Arsonval]]
