description: "Franciszek Rychnowski was a Polish engineer and an inventor. He also lectured at the Lwów Politechnic. In addition to mundane projects, he also gained fame for his pseudoscientific theories on eteroid, similar to the concepts of élan vital or orgone; involvement with such pseudoscientific theories eventually ruined his career."
