Edward Leedskalnin, was known as an important engineer who with a fourth grade education wrote major works on his theories of magnetism. 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. This work is still used widely today in science classes, engineering students and by individuals learning scientific trades.
'''''Magnetic Current''''' is a short pamphlet by [[Edward Leedskalnin]], first published in 1945 from Homestead, Florida (and reprinted many times since).
 
==Overview==
 
In the pamphlet Leedskalnin sets out his idiosyncratic theory of magnetism, together with a series of simple experiments — using U-shaped, round, and bar magnets, car batteries, light bulbs, and coils of wire — intended to demonstrate it. He argues that it is not the metal itself that is magnetic; rather, tiny individual "north and south pole magnet" particles circulate in and around the metal, moving in a double-helix pattern that produces the observed magnetic force. The work reflects his belief that mainstream physics had misunderstood the nature of electricity and magnetism.

Magnetic Current is a short pamphlet by Edward Leedskalnin, first published in 1945 from Homestead, Florida (and reprinted many times since).

Overview

In the pamphlet Leedskalnin sets out his idiosyncratic theory of magnetism, together with a series of simple experiments — using U-shaped, round, and bar magnets, car batteries, light bulbs, and coils of wire — intended to demonstrate it. He argues that it is not the metal itself that is magnetic; rather, tiny individual "north and south pole magnet" particles circulate in and around the metal, moving in a double-helix pattern that produces the observed magnetic force. The work reflects his belief that mainstream physics had misunderstood the nature of electricity and magnetism.

About the author

Edward Leedskalnin (1887–1951) was a Latvian emigrant to the United States, a self-taught man (with reportedly only a fourth-grade education) best known for single-handedly building the monument known as Coral Castle (Rock Gate) in Florida.
