Nomenclature
Named for Jacques-Arsène d'Arsonval (June 8, 1851 - December 13, 1940), a French biophysicist and inventor of the moving-coil galvanometer and probably of the thermocouple ammeter. Along with Nikola Tesla, d'Arsonval was an important contributor to the emerging field of electrophysiology, the study of the effects of electricity on biological organisms, in the nineteenth century. In 1881, d'Arsonval proposed tapping the thermal energy of the ocean.
