4 unusual facts about Magnetism


Bathilde d'Orléans

She lapsed from Christianity and devoted herself to the occult, studying the supernatural arts of chiromancy, astrology, dream interpretation, and animal magnetism.

Drifting ice station

Magnetic, ionosphere, ice and other observations are also carried out there.

Magnasee

Magnasee is a product used to visualize the magnetic fields recorded onto magnetic recording media such as magnetic tape, diskettes, and the like.

MEMS magnetic actuator

A MEMS Magnetic Actuator is a device that uses the MEMS process technology to convert an electrical signal (current) into a mechanical output (displacement) by employing the well known Lorentz Force Equation or the theory of Magnetism.


Anomalistic psychology

Later the French physician Alexandre Jacques François Brière de Boismont published On Hallucinations: Or, the Rational History of Apparitions, Dreams, Ecstasy, Magnetism, and Somnambulism in 1845 in which he claimed sightings of ghosts were the result of hallucinations.

Carey Foster

Along with Alfred Porter of the same institution, he wrote An Elementary Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism, founded on Joubert's Traité Élémentaire D' Électricitié, a standard text in the years around the beginning of the 20th century.

Cornelius Denvir

Among his students at Maynooth was the inventor and physicist Fr. Nicholas Callan, whom he introduced to electricity and magnetism.

Daniel I. Khomskii

metal-insulator transitions, magnetism, orbital ordering (Kugel-Khomskii model) and

Dedham, Essex

Osborne Reynolds, (1842-1912), engineer and physicist, who developed the understanding of electricity, magnetism, and fluid flow (part of the equation for determining the change between 'streamline' and 'turbulent' flow is still called a 'Reynold's Number'), was the son of a headmaster of Dedham Grammar School.

Flinders bar

It is named after Matthew Flinders (1774-1814) who wrote a paper on ships' magnetism for the British Navy.

Jacob Gijsbertus Samuël van Breda

In the latter function he researched in the field of magnetism and electricity and also bought many fossils, among them the Haarlem specimen of Archaeopteryx.

Naser Qureshi

He did his PhD in Physics from the University of California, Santa Barbara (Thesis: Therahertz dynamics in semiconductor heterostructures); A.B. in Physics from Princeton University (Thesis: High-Tc superconductivity); and a post-doctorate in Electrical Engineering, University of California, Santa Cruz (Ultrafast magnetism).

Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay

A state-of-the-art Magnetic Silencing Facility (MSF) provides degaussing services, including ranging and the removal of permanent magnetism for submarines of the U.S. Navy and the British Royal Navy, as well as for steel-hulled surface warships.

Pliny Chase

In 1864 the Magellanic gold medal of the American Philosophical Society was awarded him for his Numerical Relations of Gravity and Magnetism.

Toronto Magnetic and Meteorological Observatory

Sir John Henry Lefroy, a pioneer in the study of terrestrial magnetism served as director of the magnetic observatory from 1842 to 1853; In 1960, the Ontario Heritage Foundation, Ministry of Citizenship and Culture erected a Provincial Military Plaque in his honour on the University of Toronto campus.

William Henry Walenn

W. H. Walenn was one of the earliest abridgers of specifications to the Patent Office, beginning under the then Comptroller, Mr. Woodcroft, for whom he compiled the Series of Abridgments relating to "Electricity and Magnetism," "Photography," and other subjects.
