Dec 1, 2015 · In 1817, Savart returned to Metz and opened up a practice and began treating patients. On the side, Savart set up an experimental lab to research acoustics in musical instruments, specifically in the violin. With little interest in growing his practice, Savart left for Paris in 1819 to pursue his interests in physics.

Chief interest was acoustics and the study of vibrating bodies. Gave his name to the savart, a unit of measurement for musical intervals, and to Savart's wheel, a device he used while investigating ...
Savart's Bell and Resonator. In the second quarter of the 19th century, the French scientist Felix Savart invented this apparatus to demonstrate resonance. It consists of a “bell” (or brass bowl) and a moveable wooden resonator. In the demonstration the bell was activated by being either bowed or struck.
saccharimetry. Biot-Savart law, in physics, a fundamental quantitative relationship between an electric current I and the magnetic field B it produces, based on the experiments in 1820 of the French scientists Jean-Baptiste Biot and Félix Savart. A current in a loop produces magnetic field lines B that form loops around the current.
