Inglisild
Inglisild ('Angel's Bridge') is a bridge in Toomemägi, Tartu, Estonia. The bridge was built between 1814 and 1816 and was designed by Johann Wilhelm Krause. Later, the bridge was somewhat re-built and in 1836 construction works ended. The rebuilt structure was designed by Moritz Hermann von Jacobi. It is supposed that the name of bridge is very likely a corruption of the original "Englische Brücke" or "English bridge". The portrait relief in the middle of the bridge commemorates the first rector of the re-founded University of Tartu in 1802, Georg Friedrich Parrot (1767–1852), and bears the inscription ''Otium reficit vires'' ('Leisure Renews the Powers'). On 21 April 2012 the bridge was damaged by fire.

Kuradisild (''Devil's Bridge''; originally Aleksandri sild, German: ''Alexander Brücke'', ''Alexander's Bridge'') is a dark concrete bridge located on Toomemägi in Tartu, Estonia, built to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Romanov Dynasty in 1913. Kuradisild is one of the few remaining concrete bridges built in early 20th century. It is one of the symbols and landmarks of Tartu alongside Inglisild (''Angel's Bridge'') located on the other side of Toome Hill. The elegant bridge is supported by two arches. The massive parapet is decorated with ornamental panels and seating recesses. The first bridge located in the place now occupied by Kuradisild was built in 1809. The Neogothic wooden bridge was based on designs by the University of Tartu architect Johann Wilhelm Krause. This bridge was later replaced by a single span wooden bridge designed by J. G. Köningsmann and built in 1842–1844. The current single span concrete bridge was built to commemorate the 300th anniv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He moved to Saint Petersburg in 1837 to research the usage of electromagnetic forces for moving machines at the Russian Academy of Sciences. He investigated the power of an electromagnet in motors and generators. While studying the transfer of power from a battery to an electric motor, he deduced the maximum power theorem. Jacobi tested the output of motors by determining the amount of zinc consumed by the battery. With the financial assistance of C ...
