This site is currently being published.
Expected completion date is October 1, 2024.
The site is intended as a research resource concerning historically important developments in electricity and magnetism, and exhibits associated apparatuses and devices created between the late 18th and early 20th centuries. It features select examples from my physics instrument collection. Enjoy and have fun!
The Blum collection was started in 2000 and focusses on the following:
- Electrostatic Machines and Attachments
- Acyclic Faraday Rotators & Disks
- Magnetoelectric Induction Machines
- Electromagnetic Telegraph Apparatuses
- Galvanoscopes and Galvanometers
- Electromagnetic Machines (DC & AC)
- Electrochemical Cells (Batteries)
- Induction Coils (Geissler & Crookes Tubes)
- Electrical Lighting & Metering
- Thermionics (Vacuum Tubes)
See you soon!
