Topic: Johann Poggendorff


  
  Johann Christian Poggendorff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poggendorff is known for his electrostatic motor which is analogous to Wilhelm Holtz's electrostatic machine.
Poggendorff was admirably qualified for the post, and edited the journal for 52 years, until 1876.
The Poggendorff Illusion is an optical illusion that involves the brain's perception of the interaction between diagonal lines and horizontal and vertical edges.

 [No title]
POGGENDORFF, JOHANN CHRISTIAN (1796-1877), German physicist, was born in Hamburg on the 29th of December 1796.
Poggendorff immediately put himself in communication with the publisher, Barth of Leipzig, with the result that he was installed as editor of a scientific journal, Annalen der Physik und- Chemie, which was to be a continuation of Gilberts Annalen on a somewhat extended plan.
In the course of his fifty-two years' editorship of the Annalen Poggendorff could not fail to acquire an unusual acquaintance with the labours of modern men of science.

 Poggendorff   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Poggendorff studied problems in electricity and magnetism, he developed a mirror galvanometer and, actually, he gave the name "galvanometer" to a physical instrument measuring an electric current.
Poggendorff built a system in which he installed a small flat mirror to reflect a relatively narrow beam of light.
The design of a mirror galvanometer comprises a coil of wire wound on a soft iron core suspended in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet - this coil is suspended generally by means of a strip of phosphor bronze wire and located centrally between the poles of the permanent magnet.

Johann (Johan) Schweigger was a chemist, physicist, and professor of mathematics at the Gymnasium of Bayreuth in 1803, at the Polytechnic School of Nuremberg in 1819, and the University of Halle, Germany, sometime in 1820.
Johann Poggendorff of Berlin, Germany, independently of Schweigger built a crude galvanometer, also called a multiplier, similarly to that of Schweigger in 1821.
Poggendorff has been given credit for inventing the multiturn method of increasing the sensitivity of the detection of electrical current, but historians have favored Schweigger for this invention.

 The Poggendorff Illusion Explained   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Poggendorff illusion is a common optical illusion studied by neuroscientists as well as machine vision researchers.
"Johann Poggendorff pointed out in the 19th century that when the continuity of an obliquely oriented line is interrupted, the positions of the line segments on either side of the interruption appear to be shifted".
The paper proposes that the human brain generates the illusion by applying accumulated experience statistically learned from interrupted lines found in scenes viewed in our natural environment.
