from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Reithoffer (born October 27, 1864 in Vienna ; † March 10, 1945 ibid) was an Austrian electrical engineer and professor for electrical engineering at the Technical University of Vienna (TU Vienna) and inventor.

Life

His father was the rubber goods manufacturer Georg Reithoffer. After studying physics, mathematics and philosophy at the University of Vienna , he received his doctorate in 1889. phil. and in 1890 received the license to teach mathematics and physics. From 1891 Reithoffer was Adalbert von Waltenhofen’s scientific assistant and received his habilitation in electrical engineering in 1898 .

On the occasion of the inauguration of the new building (1900–1903) for the Electrotechnical Institute, he was appointed associate professor in 1903. In 1908 he was appointed professor of electrical engineering and in 1922 he was appointed councilor . From 1925 he headed the Electrotechnical Institute and retired into private life in 1933.

The focus of his research work was in the field of electrical engineering and radio technology as well as in the field of "electrical vibrations". Reithoffer became the first honorary president of the Austrian Association of Experimental Broadcasters in Vienna , which was founded in 1926 .

invention

In 1905, together with Franz Morawetz, he invented and developed a device for operating electrical clocks using electrical waves .

Publications

In numerous articles he also gave a lecture on the basics of wireless telegraphy, electrical beats and the conversion to an electrical central clock system for Vienna, for example:
