Original author: Alfred Powell Morgan
"Home-made Electrical Apparatus" by Alfred Powell Morgan is a practical handbook for amateur experimenters, likely written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on aiding young experimenters in building and operating various electrical devices and systems, emphasizing hands-on projects that can be accomplished at home. The opening of the handbook establishes its aim: to provide clear instructions and insights for constructing electrical apparatus effectively. It outlines that the first chapter will cover static electricity and provides an introduction to creating a Wimshurst machine. The text implies that readers will engage in exciting and approachable experiments designed to foster their understanding of electrical principles and encourage creativity in experimentation. The author reassures that all described projects have been tested through personal experience, enhancing the reliability of the information presented.
