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

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.
