Jacques Charles

Jacques Charles (1746-1823) was a French chemist who developed the theory of Charles' Law around 1787. Charles did not publish his theory; it was published by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1802.

Charles also created the first balloon filled with hydrogen, and ascended to a height of around 2 miles.

He was elected to the Académie française in 1785.
