Magnet Academy: Jean Charles Athanase Peltier (1785 1845)

Curated by ACT

Although he didn't start studying physics until he retired from the clock-making business at age 30, French native Jean Peltier made immense contributions to science that still reverberate today. Even with the primitive tools available to him in the early 19th century, he laid the scientific foundation for air conditioning and heating technology that would be developed years later.
