Andreas von Ettingshausen

Andreas Freiherr von Ettingshausen (25 November 1796 – 25 May 1878) was an Austrian mathematician and physicist.

Ettingshausen studied philosophy and jurisprudence at the University of Vienna.

In 1817, he joined the University of Vienna and taught mathematics and physics as an adjunct professor.

His lectures of that time marked a new era for the University of Vienna, and they were published in 1827 in two volumes.

Ettingshausen was the first to design an electromagnetic machine, which used the electrical induction for power generation.
