Gustave Trouve - French Electrical Genius (1839-1902) (Paperback)

In the latter half of the 19th century Gustave Pierre Trouve, a
modest but brilliant Parisian electrical engineer, conceived and
patented some 75 inventions, including the endoscope, the electric
car and the frontal headlamp. He also designed an electric boat -
complete with outboard motor, headlight and horn - an electric
rifle, an electric piano and a luminous fountain, and developed
wearable technology and ultraviolet light (PUVA) therapy. Unlike
his famous contemporary Nikola Tesla, who worked for Thomas Edison
and was patronised by George Westinghouse, Trouve never came to
America. A confirmed bachelor disinterested in industrialisation,
he was a gradually forgotten following his accidental death in
1902. This first-ever biography of Trouve details the fascinating
life of the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor once dubbed "the
French Edison."
