7 unusual facts about electromagnetism


Abampere

The abampere (aA), also called the biot after Jean-Baptiste Biot, is the basic electromagnetic unit of electric current in the emu-cgs system of units (electromagnetic cgs).

Abhenry

Abhenry is the centimeter-gram-second electromagnetic unit of inductance, equal to one billionth of a henry.

Antonín Svoboda

Based on unorthodox and untried elements and designs such as electromagnetic relays and drums, its architecture was quite advanced compared to other contemporary efforts such as ENIAC.

Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy

ENB (Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy) or EMN bronchoscopy is a medical procedure utilizing electromagnetic technology designed to localize and guide endoscopic tools or catheters through the bronchial pathways of the lung.

IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society

The electromagnetic compatibility field of interest is on engineering related to the electromagnetic environmental effects of systems to be compatible with themselves and their intended operating environment.

Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man

Octopus has also encased it in a fake blimp facade (it flies by electromagnetic means) so as to enable him to steal fortunes under its cover, providing him with a potentially inexhaustible supply of money with which to fuel his world-conquering schemes.

World's Finest Team

Agent Axis emerges from behind the scenes and, using an electro-magnetic neutralizer harness, subdues the Ravager, but both disappear.


Applications of capacitors

Experimental work is under way using banks of capacitors as power sources for electromagnetic armour and electromagnetic railguns or coilguns.

Combat engineer

The ICEC operates advance engineering tools such as the IDF Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer, IDF Puma armored CEV, armoured vehicle-launched bridges, armored engineering vehicles, EOD robots and electromagnetic mine-detectors.

Felsen

Leopold B. Felsen (1924–2005), physicist known for studies of Electromagnetism

Fleeming Jenkin

Padre Bancalari, the professor of natural philosophy, lectured on electromagnetism, his physical laboratory being the best in Italy.

Gregory Charvat

Charvat has authored or co-authored numerous journals, proceedings, magazine articles, and seminars on topics including applied electromagnetics, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and phased array radar systems, radio frequency (RF) and analog design.

Kohlrausch

Rudolf Kohlrausch (1809–1858), German physicist noted for research on electromagnetism and electromagnetic relaxation phenomena, son of Heinrich

Leopold B. Felsen

Leopold B. Felsen (born in Munich in 1924; died in the US September 24, 2005) was a physicist known for studies of Electromagnetism and wave-based disciplines.

Mass generation

The Standard Model uses this mechanism as part of the Glashow–Weinberg–Salam model to unify electromagnetic and weak interactions.

Operational calculus

This technique was fully developed by the physicist Oliver Heaviside in 1893, in connection with his work on electromagnetism.

Principle of locality

Coulomb's law of electric forces was initially also formulated as instantaneous action at a distance, but was later superseded by Maxwell's Equations of electromagnetism which obey locality.

Prosper-René Blondlot

Born in Nancy, France, he spent most of his early years there, teaching physics at the University, being awarded three prestigious prizes of the Académie des Sciences for his experimental work on the consequences of Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism.

Puran Bair

Puran Bair has worked with Dr. Herbert Benson and other researchers to document the physiological changes that occur during the different stages of meditation, including metabolism, heart rhythm, brain waves, light emission and electromagnetism.

The Calusari

Chuck Burks (Bill Dow), a digital photo expert, uses software to uncover evidence of electromagnetic disturbances in the shape of a child, holding the balloon.

Vilhelm Bjerknes

Vilhelm Bjerknes became assistant to Heinrich Hertz in Bonn 1890–1891 and made substantial contributions to Hertz' work on electromagnetic resonance.

Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum

This gallery exhibits the classical experiments like Oersted's experiment, Barlow's wheel, Faraday's ring, etc.

Wireless World

An occasional contributor, Ivor Catt, sparked controversy with an article on electromagnetism in December 1978 by challenging the validity of Maxwell's displacement current.

Wolfson Centre for Magnetics

The power loss, permeability, apparent power, flux density, magnetic field, Barkhausen noise, magnetostriction characteristics of soft magnetic materials and hard magnetic materials can be measured with a range of test systems under DC, AC and rotational magnetising conditions.
