He studied at Jena and Rostock and taught mathematics at Rostock from 1747 to 1755. After a brief stay in Berlin he went to St. Petersburg as professor of physics and academician, remaining there until 1798 and rising to a high position as courtier to Catherine the Great. He made experimental and theoretical contributions to the study of electricity, including work on the thermoelectric properties of tourmaline and the invention, with J. C. Wilche, of the air capacitor. A consideration of the implications of this device led him to reject then current mechanical theories of electricity and to elaborate in his Tentamen Theoriae Electricitatis et Magnetismi (1759) a theory of electrostatics similar to Newton's gravitational theory.

He came from a famous family of theologians who were originally named Hoeck or Hoch but Franz's great-grandfather had changed the family name to its Greek form. Aepinus studied medicine and mathematics at the universities of Jena and Rostock. He was awarded an MA from Rostock for a dissertation on the paths of falling bodies in 1747. He remained at Rostock, teaching mathematics there until 1755. During this period he undertook research in several different areas of mathematics including algebraic equations, solving partial differential equations , and on negative numbers. Franz was not the only member of the family to be teaching at Rostock during this period, for his elder brother also taught oratory at the University. One of his brother's students, J C Wilcke, took courses given by Franz during 1751-52 and was attracted to a career in mathematics and physics instead of the clerical career that he had been intending to pursue when he entered the university. If Franz had a major effect on Wilcke's career, then the reverse was true a few years later when Wilcke was to suggest problems which led to the most important work of Aepinus's career.

Franz Aepinus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Franz Ulrich Theodor Aepinus December 13 August 10 German natural philosopher , was born at Rostock in Saxony . He was descended from John Aepinus (1499-1553), the first to adopt the Greek form (aiireivos) of the family name Hugk or Huck, and a leading theologian and controversialist at the time of the Reformation. After studying medicine for a time, Franz Aepinus devoted himself to the physical and mathematical sciences, in which he soon gained such distinction that he was admitted a member of the Berlin academy of sciences. In 1757 he settled in St Petersburg as member of the imperial academy of sciences and professor of physics, and remained there till his retirement in 1798. The rest of his life was spent at Dorpat , where he died on the 10th of August 1802. He enjoyed the special favor of the empress Catherine II , who appointed him tutor to her son Paul, and endeavoured, without success, to establish normal schools throughout the empire under his direction. Aepinus is best known by his researches, theoretical and experimental, in

Aepinus, Franz Maria Ulrich Theodor Hoch Born: Dec. 13, 1724, Rostock, Mecklenberg-Schwerin Died: Aug. 10, 1802, Dorpat Russia physicist whose Tentamen theoriae electricitatis et magnetismi (1759; "An Attempt at a Theory of Electricity and Magnetism") was the first work to apply mathematics to the theory of electricity and magnetism. Aepinus studied medicine before turning to physics and mathematics. His work in these new fields resulted in his election to the Berlin Academy of Sciences and, in 1757, led to a professorship of physics in St. Petersburg. He remained in St. Petersburg until his retirement in 1798. Aepinus' experiments led to the design of the parallel-plate capacitor, a device used to store energy in an electric field. He also discovered the electric properties of the mineral tourmaline and investigated pyroelectricity, the state of electrical polarization produced in tourmaline and various other crystals by a change of temperature. In addition, Aepinus studied the relation between conductors and nonconductors, extended Benjamin Franklin's one-fluid theory of electricity, and explained virtually all electric induction in terms of the attraction, repulsion, and flow of electricity in conductors. Aepinus improved the microscope, and his essay on the effects of parallax in the transit of a planet across the Sun's disk excited great general interest, for it was published in 1764, between the dates of two transits of Venus.

AEON AEON , a term often used in Greek (aluv) to denote an indefinite or infinite duration of time; and hence, by metonymy, a being that exists for ever. In the latter sense it was chiefly used by the Gnostic sects to denote those eternal beings or manifestations which emanated from the one incomprehensible and ineffable God. (See GNOSTICISM.)

40. Eighteenth Century Electrochemistry In 1789 franz aepinus developed a device with the properties of a condenser (nowknown as a capacitor.) The aepinus condenser was the first condenser http://www.corrosion-doctors.org/History/eighteen.htm

Eighteenth Century Electrochemistry By Francis Hauksbee at the Royal Society in London discovered that by putting a small amount of mercury in the glass of Von Guericke 's generator and evacuating the air from it, when a charge was built up on the ball and then his hand placed onto it, it would glow. This glow was enough to read by and was similar to the phenomenon known as St. Elmo's Fire which was the name given to a strange glow seen around ships in electrical storms. Unknown to him he had created the Neon Light. Between and , two English friends, Stephen Gray and Jean Desaguliers performed a series of experiments which showed that a cork or other object as far away as 800 or 900 feet could be electrified by connecting it to a rubbed glass tube with materials such as metal wires or hempen string. They found that other materials, such as silk, would not convey the effect. As a matter of fact, they discovered in early, painstaking experiments that the distant object would not become electrified if the transmission line made contact with the earth, but only if they separated or insulated it from the earth by suspending it on silken threads. Charles François de Cisternay Du Fay discovered two types of static electricity, and that like charges repel each other whilst unlike charges attract. Du Fay announced that electricity consisted of two fluids: "vitreous" (from the Latin for "glass"), or positive, electricity; and "resinous," or negative, electricity. This was the 'two-fluid theory' of electricity, which was to be opposed by
