Encyclopedia : E : EW : EWA : Ewald Jürgen Georg von Kleist
Ewald Jürgen Georg von Kleist (June 1700 - December 10, 1748) was a cleric and inventor. He was a student at the University of Leyden in the 1720s and may have started his interest in electricity there. Later he was the dean of the cathedral at Kammin in Prussia and co-inventor of the Leyden jar. At present Pieter van Musschenbroek is considered to have done a more in-depth study of the device.
