Germany, Author December 29, 1816 – April, 23, 1895.
Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig was a German physician and physiologist. His work as both a researcher and teacher had a major influence on the understanding, methods and apparatus used in almost all branches of physiology.
Also known as Physician, Physiologist
Scientific physiology has the task of determining the functions of the animal body and deriving them as a necessary consequence from its elementary conditions.
For the first time there was constructed with this machine locomotive engine a self-acting mechanism in which the interplay of forces took shape transparently enough to discern the connection between the heat generated and the motion produced. The great puzzle of the vital force was also immediately solved for the physiologist in that it became evident that it is more than a mere poetic comparison when one conceives of the coal as the food of the locomotive and the combustion as the basis for its life.
