Johann Bernoulli

Johann Bernoulli (Basel, July 27, 1667 - January 1, 1748) was a Swiss mathematician. He was the brother of Jakob Bernoulli, and the father of Daniel Bernoulli and Nicolaus II Bernoulli. He is also known as Jean or John Bernoulli. He educated the great mathematician Leonhard Euler in his youth.

Because of extreme jealously towards his son Daniel, Johann took all of the ideas of his son's book Hydrodynamica and made his own book, all the while predating it to receive the credit.

Bernoulli proposed a fluid energy perpetual motion machine.
