Magnetic Current

Product Information

This leaving behind of preconceived ideas is what I’ve spent the best part of a decade doing, to do the mystery and ingenuity of Edward Leedskalnin justice. I realised that if I were to be successful in my work, I had to decide that everything I had ever learned or been told about the Coral Castle was wrong. With a blank slate, on the basis of zero assumptions, and using the tools of observation, deductive reasoning and the instructions that Ed gives in his books, I set about my task. The Secret Schematic and the Perpetual Motion Holder Leedskalnin, Edward (1936). A Book in Every Home. Containing Three Subjects: Ed's Sweet Sixteen, Domestic and Political Views (Reprinteded.).

In case a girl's mamma thinks that there is a boy somewhere who needs experience then she, herself, could pose as an experimental station for that fresh boy to practise on and so save the girl. Nothing can hurt her any more. She has already gone through all the experience that can be gone through and so in her case it would be all right."

Having spent the best part of a decade scrutinising Magnetic Current and Ed’s other booklet, Mineral, Vegetable, and Animal Life, I can safely say that Coral Castle theorists have missed the mark on this one. What better information do we have at our disposal in understanding this mysterious accomplishment than the writing and monument that Leedskalnin himself left behind? McClure and Heffron explain why Ed’s work, the intuitive starting point in our unravelling of this fascinating riddle, has been neglected by most Coral Castle theorists:So, we had the secret schematic over several sheets of paper, which details part of what Ed calls the Perpetual Motion Device. Alone, this made no sense. Then, almost a century later, we find that he hid a portion of it in plain sight all along that completes it. After that, we find this device mirrored in the guidelines he left us with, which are the first words of his book, Animal, Vegetable and Mineral Life. We then realise we must change the PMH from a magnetic device into an electrical device by adding the hidden part of the schematic. More remarkably, it becomes clear from Ed’s words about facing east that we’ve understood his teachings. Overlapping the covers of Ed Leedskalnin’s written works Magnetic Current and, Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral Life, reveals a hidden diagram for Ed Leedskalnin’s Perpetual Motion Holder. Hidden by Ed Leedskalnin in August of 1945 and discovered by RL Poole in December of 2010. Interview with Douglas Stone, Swordfish: Justin Vellucci on Music. Originally published in Delusions of Adequacy, September 27, 2004. What does Radford mean by his claim that Ed built the castle using ‘hard work’ and ‘the principles of leverage’? In addition to the limited information provided by the Coral Castle museum about Ed’s tools, Radford cites a single source to defend his stance—the account of Orval Irwin, who ‘explains, through photographs, drawings, and schematics, how it was done’. v a b c "Who's Ed?".

Ed was a very private person and when he heard about a planned subdivision being built near him he decided to move to Homestead and in 1936 bought 10 acres of land.

Man of Mystery

Cuban-American author Daína Chaviano, dedicated a whole chapter ("Very close to my heart") from her novel The Island of Eternal Love to the history of Coral Castle and his builder Edward Leedskalnin [22] Stollznow, Karen.

Magnetic Current was first published in 1988 and the only source for any of these pamphlets is the Coral Castle gift shop.

The goal of Ancient Origins is to highlight recent archaeological discoveries, peer-reviewed academic research and evidence, as well as offering alternative viewpoints and explanations of science, archaeology, mythology, religion and history around the globe. Born in Latvia on January 12 1887, Edward (Ed) Leedskalnin was a self-taught engineer who single-handedly built the Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida, after emigrating to the USA in 1912. We know little about his childhood, apart from that his parents weren’t wealthy, and that he was only formally educated until the age of nine or ten. It’s suggested that Ed loved reading, and that he learned stonemasonry skills from his father. We know that by the time Ed was in his twenties, he could read, write and probably speak at least three languages.

The temple was a complex, sacred teaching designed to be studied over time—it was a magical instrument intended to demonstrate and even facilitate the devoted student’s connection to a conscious universe. For those who could read the ancient language of the temple, it provided a map of the universe as reflected in humanity.’ xvii So, Radford’s suggestion that Leedskalnin lifted and set this 30-ton boulder alone using basic tools and ‘the principles of leverage’ is unverifiable. How could 5ft tall, 100-pound Ed have withstood a combined weight of over 82,000 lbs? And who among us could single handedly drive the wedges into the ground to the depths shown on the walls of the Coral Castle?

However, a small Latvian man insisted that these ancient structures were assembled with much more ease than we might imagine, using a building secret that has been lost to the ages. He even claimed to be able to put these techniques into practice at the mysterious Coral Castle. a b Knight, Gladys L. Pop Culture Places: An Encyclopedia of Places in American Popular Culture. Westport: Greenwood Press, 2014, p. 211-214. Magnets in general are indestructible. For instance you can burn wood and flesh. You can destroy the body, but you cannot destroy the magnets that hold together the body. They go somewhere else. Iron has more magnets than wood, and every different substance has a different number of magnets that hold the substance together. If I make a battery with copper for positive terminal and beef for negative terminal I get more magnets out of it than when I used copper for positive terminal and sweet potato for negative terminal. From this you can see that no two things are alike. [6] In popular culture [ edit ] The stone sign just inside the property that says "Adm. 10c Drop Below" is not original to Coral Castle. Leedskalnin made this sign and placed it in front of his earlier location at Florida City when he was tired of giving a "free show" to visitors who were careless and trampled his shrubbery. This sign was donated by the owners of Ed's Place and placed here in subsequent years.
