Schultz 1972 2nd Printing Booklet It is said of ...Thomas A. Edison:"he has led no armies into battle - he has conquered no countries - yet he wields a power the magnitude of which no warrior ever dreamed... this democratic, kindly, modest man has bestowed upon the human race blessings instead of bondage, service instead of serfdom, construction instead of conquest... he is humanity's friend."

SCHULTZDesign and Illustrations by:SHERWIN MC WILLIAMS1971 Second Printing, Thomas Alva Edison Foundation, Inc.Publication of theTHOMAS ALVA EDISON FOUNDATION2000 Second Avenue, Detroit, Michigan 48226 Walker L. Cisler, President of the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation and Chairman of the InternationalEdisonBirthday Celebration. Mr.Cister is Chairman of the Board of The Detroit Edison Company and one of America's leading authorities on electric power and the devel. opment of the peaceful uses of atomic energy. He is active in many educational endeav. ors, including the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and the Council for Financial Aid to Education.To the young people of AmericaThomas Alva Edison and Michael Faraday were both tireless experi-menters. Whenever they had a promising idea whether it concerned elec. tricity, chemistry, botany, magnetism or any of their other broad interests Faraday and Edison followed up with systematic, detailed experimentation.This does not mean just trying your first few ideas, but following persistently wherever the facts lead. It took Faraday years to develop the forerunner of today's giant dynamos. In the process he proved that the previous conclusions of some highly respected scientists were incorrect. He had to be sure of his facts.Edison spent over two years developing the first practical incandescent light. Simultaneously, he created improved dynamos, transmission lines, meters, fuses and sockets and he never stopped trying to make them better.We hope this booklet, based on Faraday's writings, may help you learn to experiment for yourself in one field: electricity.Later, your interests and abilities may lead you on to other important areas of science and engineering. But there will never be a more important lesson than learning to conduct your own experiments--intelligently, critically, open-mindedly. The experiments in this booklet, requiring only simple materials, can give you an insight into the importance of truly creative inquiry.Malhu Cislu Table of ContentsPart IHISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF EDISON AND FARADAYEXPERIMENTING WAS THEIR WAY OF LIFEThey Had Much In CommonFaraday-From Bookbinder to ScientistHis Major AccomplishmentsIMPORTANT EXPERIMENTS BY FARADAY ON INDUCTION ......Two Coils on an Iron RingCoil Between Two Bar MagnetsTwo Coils on a Wood Block Bar Magnet Within A CoilDisk Rotating in a Magnetic Field Table of ContentsPart IlFIVE SIMPLE EXPERIMENTSON MAGNETISM AND ELECTRICITY"SEEING" MAGNETIC LINES OF FORCEMAKING MAGNETS AND TESTING THEMMagnetizing the NeedlesIdentifying the PolesHow Poles ReactStrong Magnet Overpowering a Weak OneFARADAY'S FAMOUS "ICE PAIL" EXPERIMENTBuilding the ElectrophorousBuilding the ElectroscopeTesting Your EquipmentHow Charges Behave on Hollow ConductorsFurther Proof that Charges Dislike InteriorsARE WATER AND ICE GOOD CONDUCTORS?Building a Current IndicatorAssembling the CircuitTap Water as a ConductorIce as a ConductorELECTROPLATING YOUR HOUSE KEYBuilding an Electroplating UnitPutting the Unit to Work ASINB0006WRE5QPublisherThomas Alva Edison Foundation; 2nd printing edition (January 1, 1971)LanguageEnglish REVIEW 10 out of 10!!!
