Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a record of the research of Alexander Bain and John Finlaison who discovered how to harness the natural occurring earth's electricity. Before their 1842 discovery, the common method of creating electricity was through galvanic batteries, which are expensive and require constant maintenance. This revolutionary method provided a new and improved way to operate electromagnetic devices, including the printing telegraph and electric clocks. Bain and Finlaison conducted extensive experiments to refine their method and prove its efficacy. They demonstrated how, by using the earth's moisture as a conductor, they could create a continuous flow of electricity. This book details their experiments, provides diagrams, and explains the science behind their remarkable discovery.
