Prof. Jakob Narkiewicz-Jodko's Discoveries and his Laboratory

ORAL

Abstract

Prof. Jakob Narkiewicz-Jodko (1947--1905) major discoveries are: Electrography -- the method of the visualization of electric discharge from the bodies due to the application of high strength and high frequency electric fields [3,4], and the first observation of the propagation of the electromagnetic waives for information transfer over the distances [5,6]. They were made in his laboratory located at his manor home Nadniemen. We describe these experiments and the Lab equipment used for the discoveries. Unfortunately the Nadniemen manor designed and built in Neogothic style was destroyed at the WWII. Our goal is to restore the Lab of Prof. Jakob Narkiewicz-Jodko as a museum. We also introduce our hypothesis regarding architectural design of the manor home Nadniemen. [1] Decrespe M.
