Baron Dr. Carl (Karl) Ludwig von Reichenbach (1788-1869) was a recognized chemist, metallurgist, naturalist and philosopher, a member of the prestigious Prussian Academy of Sciences. He discovered kerosene and paraffins and their uses as fuels, which are now used in jet and rocket engines. He also developed antiseptic phenol.
He spent the last part of his life developing the now popular vitalist theory of the Odic force, the life principle which he believed permeates and binds together all living things. This never acquired currency among mainstream scientists, so instead it lies today among mystical concepts such as chi and prana of the far east.
