Everything about Alexander Behm totally explained
Alexander Behm (born
11 November 1880 in
Sternberg (
Mecklenburg); died
22 January 1952 in
Tarp (
Schleswig-Flensburg)) was a
German physicist.
As head of a research laboratory in
Vienna (
Austria) he conducted experiments concerning the propagation of
sound. He tried to develop an
iceberg detection system using reflected sound waves after the
Titanic disaster on
15 April 1912. In the end reflected sound waves proved not to be suitable for the detection of icebergs but for measuring the depth of the sea, because the bottom of the sea reflected them well. Thus, echo sounding was born.
Behm was granted German
patent No. 282009 for the invention of
echo sounding (device for measuring depths of the sea and distances and headings of ships or obstacles by means of reflected sound waves) on
22 July 1913.
In
1920 he founded the
Behm Echo Sounding Company in
Kiel in order to commercialise his invention. He was also a fanatic angler and an inventor of fishing tackle, like Behm-Fliege and Behm-Blinker.
