Scientific Achievements

Abstract This study examines the science and technology prize system of the Académie des Sciences through a first survey of the prizes granted over the period extending from the 1720s to the end of the 19th century. No reward policy was envisaged by the Royal Academy of Sciences in the Réglement (statute) promulgated by King Louis XIV in 1699. Prizes were proposed later, first by private donors and then by the state, and awarded in international contests setting out specific scientific or technical problems for savants, inventors and artists to solve. Using cash prizes, under the Ancien Régime the Academy effectively directed and funded research for specific purposes set by donors. By providing it with significant extra funding, the donor-sponsored prizes progressively gave the Academy relative autonomy from the political power of the state. In the 19th century, with the growing awareness of the importance of scientific research, the main question became whether to use the prizes to reward past achievements or to incentivize future research, and the scale and nature of the prizes changed.

Number Of Cells

On the 24th February, 1875 *, we had the honour of communicating to the Society, in conjunction with our friend Mr. Spottiswoode, an account of some experiments to ascertain the cause of stratification in electrical discharges in vacuo . These experiments were made with a battery of 1080 cells of powder chloride of silver, which was described; we have now in action 3240 such cells, and have recently completed 2400 rod-chloride-of-silver cells t , making our total force 5640 cells in action. To these will be shortly added another unit of 1080 cells powder chloride, and two other units of 1200 rod chloride, making a total of 9120 cells. We have more recently made a verbal communication to the Society of Telegraph Engineers, and also in October last a written one to the Académie des Sciences of Paris *, wherein we have stated that the length of the spark in air appears to be in the direct ratio of the square of the number of cells.
