In the course of his life he submitted over 100 patent applications, but he is most notable for inventing fluid coupling. AG Vulcan Stettin From 1904 he worked as a chief designer in the shipyard AG Vulcan Stettin. He was responsible for the introduction and testing of new steam turbines.
During this time he developed the fluid coupling consisting of a pump and a turbine in a unit that in further development resulted in the automatic automobile transmission.
Gdańsk University of Technology In 1909 he obtained a position at the Gdańsk University of Technology where he started the institute for fluid dynamics technology. Technical University of Berlin In 1924 he took up a position as head of the current department of physics and turbines at the Technical University of Berlin.
Here he remained until his death from grenade fragments in April 1945. Fluid dynamics Railcars Internal combustion engines.
