Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. Leedskalnin cut massive pieces of the rock from his property, moved them, and sculpted them-all on his own. Edward Leedskalnin, was known as an important engineer who with a fourth grade education wrote major works on his theories of magnetism.But it's especially impressive considering Leedskalnin was only 5 feet tall and weighed barely 100 pounds.

The other one was "A Book in Every Home Containing Three Subjects: Ed's Sweet Sixteen, Domestic and Political Views. But it was nicely done experimental book about basic things from magnetism and in one chapter about plazma arcs. Sometimes referred to as "Florida's Stonehenge" because of the size and scale of the undertaking, no one is entirely certain how the megalith project was completed.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. There is few missinterpretations of results of his experiments and few things that are explained much better with today physics.

Within the structure of the north/south pole magnet, Leedskalnin found answers to not only simple magnetism, but to greater questions of the universe. The book is an explanatory book on Magnetic Current,but for those learning;would have benefitted with diagrams within.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

Individual magnets-not the metal that we think of as a magnet, but the microscopic magnets that circulate the metal-emerge from each pole and run to the other, creating permanent magnetism. During the years of his construction project, Leedskalnin also conducted experiments and wrote several pamphlets.

The instructions to reproduce some of the experiments are not very clear and contain no diagrams, mathematics or schematics, and are possibly dangerous if you misinterpret, but to his credit, English was Leedskalnin's second language, and he only has a fourth grade education. Following is the result of my two years experiment with magnets at Rock Gate, seventeen miles Southwest from Miami, Florida. Tutti gli esperimenti sono descritti accuratamente e riproducibili prestando attenzione alle indicazioni riportate all'inizio del testo.Perhaps it is his lack of formal education that led him to look at the mysteries of magnetism in a unique way.

With his lack of formal education and English as a second language, the meaning of Leedskalnin's writings can be a challenge to decipher. Really it is not one current, they are two currents, one current is composed of North Pole individual magnets in concentrated streams and the other is composed of South Pole individual magnets in concentrated streams, and they are running one stream against the other stream in whirling, screwlike fashion, and with high speed. In 1923, he purchased an undeveloped acre of land in Florida City, where he began an ambitious project that would absorb the next 28 years.

During his lifetime he wrote 5 pamphlets that could be purchased by tourists who visited his Coral Castle. In his view, a reversal in the polarity of either the earth or the moon would lead to the moon crashing down to earth.

After his recovery, he moved to Florida where he hoped the mild climate would be better for his health.This title, Magnetic Current, is one of his better known works and is still used widely by classes studying magnets, magnetic currents and magnetic poles. Using U-shaped, round, and bar magnets, as well as car batteries, light bulbs, and coils of wire, he demonstrates the movements of magnetic currents in a double helix pattern, swirling around each other to create pull. His findings were eventually compiled into Magnetic Current, a short pamphlet detailing his theories of magnetism. Mi riferisco all'edizione con la copetina marrone con un uomo intento a regolare delle apparecchiature. Then how he dont likes general description of electricity and last thing how orbit of the moon is not determined by gravity.
