Joseph Henry's Contributions to the Electromagnet and the Electric Motor

Image
Henry discovered that if a cell of a single pair of electrodes is to be used with a given magnet, the magnet should be wound with several coils of wire in parallel; on the other hand, if a battery of many cells is to be used, the magnet winding should form a single long wire. Henry was the first person to understand this idea. It later became a fundamental basis for much of electrical technology, and, in particular, made Samuel F. B. Morse's telegraph feasible. Applying this principle (together with the valuable but less easily described practical skill in magnet-making he had acquired in the course of his experiments), Henry, with the assistance of a colleague, Philip Ten Eyck, went on to build a 21-pound "experimental magnet on a large scale." With a modest battery, this "Albany magnet" supported 750 pounds, making it, Henry claimed, "probably, therefore, the most powerful magnet ever constructed.

The Precession Of The Equinox Explanation

A lot of Eds garden is full of astronomical clues. He was very observant about nature the earth and the celestial alignments with earth.

Entrance door to Rock Gate

Have a look at one of the clues he left behind on his entrance door to RockGate. Then have a look at Earth Orbit around the Sun

Earth orbit around the sun

taken from - http://www.leedskalnin.net/astr-3.htm After trying to understand what Ed tried to say, I've came to an assumption that is not "well-cooked" yet : When we looking at the Ecliptic Plane, which is how most of the planets orbiting the sun, we don't pay enough attention to where each planet is pointing. For instance we perceive that earth tilting 23.5 degrees from being 90 degrees in relation to the Ecliptic Plane, but actually this is not a tilt at all. If we view the earth orbit from East (from outside the solar system), this is how it's going to look. In other words, the Ecliptic Plane will not be the dominant as the relation to Polaris (North Star). And the orbit will look different. It was never understood why this "tilt" happen, although science compare that to a movement of a gyroscope, it completely ignore the gravity pull and push from a distant source, or the fact that sun's gravity cannot "straight up" any of the planets
