He joined Gasunie Research in Groningen, NL, in 1970 to work on pulsating combustion, vibration-based gas turbine diagnostics as well as process measurement and control. Jacob subsequently studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southampton, UK, which was concluded in 1984 with a Ph.D. thesis on the optimisation of reciprocating engine-compressor combinations. He then worked on the introduction and technical improvement of cogeneration of electricity and heat. During that process, he wrote many international papers on subjects related to energy use and engines and gave numerous presentations. He also converted diesel buses and boats to natural gas...
