Gabriel Mouton

Gabriel Mouton, born in 1618 in Lyon, France, and passing away in 1694, was a French priest and scientist renowned for his work in mathematics and astronomy. Serving as a priest at St. Paul Church in Lyon, his passion for scientific research positioned him among the leading scientists of his time. One of the most significant contributions of Mouton's scientific career was laying the foundations for the metric system. These efforts earned him great respect in the scientific community.

In 1670, Mouton proposed a measurement system based on the principles of the metric system in his work "Observationes Diametrorum Solis et Lunae apparentium." Mouton's system used a unit of measure based on the length of the Earth's meridian. This unit, called the "mil," later became the basis for the concept of the "meter." Mouton's proposal aimed to standardize measurements and improve the accuracy of scientific measurements. His suggested system significantly contributed to the development of the metric system, which was later adopted during the French Revolution and is still in use today.

Mouton's contributions to the metric system were not just theoretical but also practical. His work paved the way for the universal acceptance and use of measurement units, which was revolutionary for scientific studies and commerce. Gabriel Mouton is remembered as a pivotal figure in modern science and engineering for his emphasis on scientific accuracy and standards. His vision helped humanity eliminate uncertainties in measurements and achieve more reliable scientific data.

General Informations About Energy Metrics

Joule: It's the main energy metric that used on most of the sciences. It found by an english physicist James Prescott Joule in 1843. It has worldwide usage on most of the sciences such as biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, electric, mechanic etc.
Calori: It's the second widely used energy metric. It found by a french physicist Nicholas Clément and a french mechanical engineer Sadi Carnot in 1819. It has wide usage on especially sports and medicine.
Newton / Meter: There is no clear information when it found but it was used by many nineteenth century scientist such as James Clark Maxwell, James Prescott Joule, Hermann Von Helmholtz etc, and used until today. It's commonly used on electrics and other sciences.
Watt / hour: It's an energy metric that took it's name from a scottish inventor and one of the most famous figures of industrial revolution, James Watt and defined in 1889 by British Association Of Advancement Of Science. Mostly used for definition of electric consumption amount by electric providers.
Foot / Pound: It's an energy metric that started to use on 1879 and used by british heritage countries on engineering, physics, mechanics and aviation.
