⏹ Seguin, Marc Seguin , Marc

French engineer (1786 - 1875)
Saguin was interested in the thermal and mechanical problems of the steam machines, so he designed a boiler and got a patent for it • This boiler is distinguished from what was known from boilers in that it benefits from the thermal energy arising from the stove in a large amount as a result of the passage of gases resulting from combustion through many tubes that penetrate the length of the boiler.

⏹ Savart, Felix Savart

French physicist and physician (1791-1841)
Savar was interested in acoustics, especially musical instruments. He invented an acoustic instrument to determine the number of vibrations per unit of time (second) that corresponds to each tone.
The machine is known by its name: «Savar Machine». He studied the resonance of stringed instruments as well.
In the field of light, Savar invented the quartz plate used in the study of polarized light, which bears his name: the Savar plate.
Savard's experiment on vibrating strings.

⏹ Sanctorius, Sanctorius, and (Centurio Centurio)
Sanctorius ( Santorio , Santorio ) Sanctorius

Italian physician and inventor (1561-1636)
Sanctorius worked as a teacher in Padua
He was famous for his experiments related to metabolism, and he was very interested in knowing the effect of biological phenomena such as sleep and food intake on human body weight. Sanctorius designed a balance for this purpose, in which he spent a fair part of his life.
He also invented the medical thermometer, as well as the pulse clock, which was reinvented a hundred years later by Floyer, the well-known English pathologist.

⏹ Syme, James

⏹ Sprauge, Frank Sprauge,

American electrical engineer (1857 - 1934)
Sprague's activity focused primarily on electric means of transportation. He was the first to design and build an electric trolley for public transport, as well as the first electric trolley bus network.
Sprague made significant improvements to the electric driving gear system in electric locomotives to achieve regular control of all parts of the train and of the engine car. To achieve independent control of single vehicles.
In the field of vertical transportation, ie elevators, Sprague had a prominent role in the development of electric elevators.
