Description
Magnetic Current is a short pamphlet by eccentric sculptor and writer Edward Leedskalnin. Detailing his many experiments with magnets, this work posits that it is not metal itself that is magnetic. Rather, tiny individual magnet particles that circulate in and around the metal give it its pull.
Edward Leedskalnin was born in Latvia in 1887. While his formal education lasted only until 4th grade, he was intensely curious and spent much of his youth...

Much of modern science is based upon the theories and discoveries of William Gilbert, the brilliant English physician and physicist who was the first great experimental scientist. Gilbert was the first to use the word "electricity," to recognize mass as distinct from weight, to discover the effect of heat upon magnetic bodies, to differentiate clearly between static electricity and magnetism, and to explain phenomena of terrestrial magnetism in terms...

Why do compass needles point north-but not quite north? What guides the migration of birds, whales, and fish across the world's oceans? How is Earth able to sustain life under an onslaught of solar wind and cosmic radiation? For centuries, the world's great scientists have grappled with these questions, all rooted in the same phenomenon: Earth's magnetism. Over two thousand years after the invention of the compass, Einstein called the source of...

Le titre de cette étude aurait dû être : « Du magnétisme en général et du magnétisme de la terre en particulier »; mais on a désigné aussi par le nom de magnétisme un ensemble de phénomènes physiologiques bien plus connus des gens du monde que le magnétisme proprement dit, qui est du ressort de la physique et de la météorologie. Or il ne s'agira ici que des propriétés physiques et de la théorie de l'aimant, enfin, de la terre considérée...
