Who was Franc Jakelj?
|
What makes his motor so special? |
Mr. Jakelj was born and lived most of his life in the resort town of Kranjska Gora, in the present Republic of Slovenia, at
one time part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and later part of Yugoslavia until its dissolution in the late 1980s. Kranjska
Gora is near the Italian and Austrian borders and is famous for its fabulous skiing facilities. He was educated and worked
as an electrical engineer and had the professional title of "Elektromeister," the equivalent to a Master of Sciences
in Electrical Engineering. At an early stage of his career he began questioning the accepted theoretical principles on which
the design of electric motors is based, concluding that they were erroneous. After many years of research, after his retirement
he wrote several treatises on the subject and submitted them for publication to the various European professional and scientific
journals. However, his work was usually either ignored or rejected without explanation. |
