Johann Gottlieb Christoph Bohnenberger (synonym Gottlieb Christian Bohnenberger ; born March 1, 1732 in Neuenbürg in the Black Forest ; † May 29, 1807 ) was a pastor in Altburg near Calw and a physicist . He was the father of the astronomer , mathematician and physicist Johann Gottlieb Friedrich von Bohnenberger .

Life

Father and son are the inventors of two completely different devices, both of which are known as the Bohnenberger machine .

Bohnenberger sen. After attending the Maulbronn seminary and the monastery in Tübingen, he became field preacher in 1760 and pastor in Simmozheim in 1762, and in Altburg near Calw in 1784.

Bohnenberger's invention from 1798 is an induction machine that is used for the electrostatic generation of high electrical voltages, as can be read in the Annalen der Physik of 1801.

Bohnenberger has also made an invention for an improvement of a hydrogen gas based lighting and lighting apparatus of the younger Alessandro Volta . Today one would most likely call it lighter. Within a few years and with further improvements, gas lanterns were created on the one hand, which were then used for lighting on vehicles of all kinds throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, but also as devices that survived into the 21st century as table lighter among friends of stylish smoking pleasure.
