French inventor of the earliest solar-powered engine, converting solar energy into mechanical steam power. In 1878, Mouchot and his assistant Abel Pifre displayed Mouchot's engine at the Universal Exhibition in Paris, and won a Gold Medal in Class 54 for his works, most notably the production of ice using concentrated solar heat. The French government, which had funded his research, assessed in a report that solar energy was uneconomical, deeming Mouchot's research no longer important and ending his funding. He died on 4 October 1912 at age 87 in Paris.Michaël Mandl quotes birth record [1].
