Wonderful Publisher's Weekly Review of Strange Brains and Genius:
Publisher's Weekly , May 25, 1998
New Scientist Review:
"Clifford Pickover in Strange Brains and Genius provides more than enough evidence to show that an astounding intellect can be a passport to insanity. Pickover has gone deep to uncover the sordid, and frequently tragicomic, lives of some of history's most notorious eggheads.... Nikola Tesla is merely the tip of the iceberg. Electrical engineer Oliver Heaviside replaced his conventional furniture with granite blocks and insulated his loft with vast swathes of unpublished, yet brilliant papers. His low self-esteem manifested itself in his idiosyncratic signature: WORM. Pickover has sympathetically exposed the mental weaknesses which may accompany many of these people's amazing intellectual strengths. We see that most of these people contributed more in an afternoon than us dunces achieve in a lifetime. For that, we should be thankful." - NEW SCIENTIST , May 1998
Other Praise
"Who else but the maestro of mathematical creativity, Clifford Pickover, to curate a museum of Strange Brains and write biographies of the scientific geniuses who formerly owned them? I'll never look at a pigeon, a pearl, or a Wheatstone bridge the same way again."

    Help support the research Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 17:08:46 -0600 Dear (correspondent): To give you an update: We already had the first action with the U.S. patent office on our first patent for the Motionless Electromagnetic Generator. Many of our claims were recognized. We then entered a strong refutation of the stated reasons for declining the other claims. That refutation has been upheld, and now we have received notification from the patent office that our first MEG patent will be issued with all 30 claims recognized. In addition, a second patent application has been filed, on other aspects of the MEG device, which in the latest embodiment variation is called the TGEN (transformer-generator). Also, we have now secured an agreement with the National Materials Science Laboratory of the National Academy of Science in a friendly foreign country, to do the necessary advanced research to finish the MEG for scale-up and commercial production. The first commercial units should be rolling off the production lines in about one year, and we expect them to be closed-loop self-powering systems of about 2.5 KW output, but modular. So say four of them can be arrayed with a synchronization unit (under development simultaneously) to produce a 10 KW output.

    Une courte biographie Oliver Heaviside
    Oliver Heaviside a contribué à un grand moment dans l’histoire des vecteurs plus précisément les champs vectoriels. En 1880, Oliver Heaviside et Josiah Willard Gibbs, son plus proche collaborateur, modifieront le système des quaternions pour en faire l’analyse vectorielle moderne. Oliver Heaviside a été le premier à écrire les équations dites « de Maxwell » sous la forme qu’on connaît actuellement. On reviendra plus en détail sur ces équations et sur les travaux de Heaviside un peu plus loin. Commençons tout d’abord par parler de la vie de Oliver Heaviside et voyons le cheminement qui l’a amené à faire ses recherche sur le sujet. Voici une photo du célèbre Oliver Heaviside : Cette photo provient du site No.1 en annexe Oliver Heaviside En 1868, après avoir quitté ses études, Heaviside est allé au Danemark et il est devenu opérateur de télégraphe. Il a progressé rapidement dans sa profession et il est revenu en Angleterre en 1871. C’est son travail qui la incité à étudier l’électricité. Il a donc lu le nouveau traité de Maxwell sur l’électricité et le magnétisme.

    Part I
    By Richard C. Hoagland
    In a tragedy for science (if not for society in general) whose outlines we are only now beginning to appreciate, after Maxwell's death, two other 19th Century "mathematical physicists" Oliver Heaviside and William Gibbs "streamlined" Maxwell's original equations down to four simple (if woefully incomplete!) expressions. Because Heaviside openly felt the quaternions were "an abomination" never fully understanding the linkage between the critical scalar and vector components in Maxwell's use of them to describe the potentials of empty space ("apples and oranges," he termed them) he eliminated over 200 quaternions from Maxwell's original theory in his attempted "simplification." Oliver Heaviside , described by Scientific American (Sept. 1950) as "self-taught and ... never connected with any university ... had [however] a remarkable and inexplicable ability (which was possessed also by Newton and Laplace ...) to arrive at mathematical results of considerable complexity without going through any conscious process of proof ..." According to other observers, Heaviside actually felt that Maxwell's use of quaternions and their description of the "potentials" of space was "...

    Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925)
    En 1872 publicó el primero de sus numerosos documentos sobre electricidad. Entre los libros que él estudio se encontraba el recién publicado (1873) Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism. En una revisión del Vector Analysis de Wilson, Heaviside inició hablando de un niño el cuál encantado con la palabra quaterniones, se asignó la tarea de leer el libro de Hamilton. Después de mucho buscar, éste niño encontró algo sobre los así declarados vectores, probando que aquello era completamente incomprensible. ¿Cómo podría ser negativo el cuadrado de un vector?.¡Pero Hamilton había sido tan positivo sobre éste hecho!. Después de mucho investigar, el joven abandonó los libros: Entonces él murió y nunca se le vio más. El había confiado en el estudio de los quaterniones demasiado rápido.
    El primer documento en el cual Heaviside introdujo el método vectorial fue su documento The Relations between Magnetic Force and Electric Current publicado en el Electrician entre 1882 y 1883. La manera en que Heaviside introdujo los vectores es algo sorpresivo. El empezó discutiendo una teoría sobre electricidad que involucraba un tratamiento matemático cartesiano equivalente a una curvatura, entonces él dio una quasi definición de curvatura:

    narozen: 18. kvìtna 1850 v Camden Town, Londýn, Anglie
    zemøel: 3. února 1925 v Torquay, Devon, Anglie
    Oliver Heaviside v dìtství onemocnìl a témìø pøišel o sluch. Toto postižení zásadnì ovlivnilo jeho život. Ve svém dìtství byl nešastný a obtížnì navazoval vztahy s ostatními dìtmi. Avšak jeho výsledky ve škole byly dobré a v roce 1865 se umístil jako pátý z 500 žákù. Zdálo se, že Heaviside se nezajímal o akademickou kariéru, protože v 16 letech opustil školu. Byl zklamán spíše školou, než studiem, protože po opuštìní školy pokraèoval ve studiu. Nauèil se Morseùv kód, studoval elektøinu a studoval další jazyky, mezi nimi dánštinu a nìmèinu. Chtìl být zamìstnán jako telegrafista na doporuèení jeho strýce Charlese Wheatstonea, po nìmž se jmenuje v elektronice Wheatstoneùv mùstek. V roce 1868 Heaviside odešel do Dánska, kde se skuteènì stal telegrafistou. V tomto zamìstnání se velmi rychle zdokonalil. V roce 1871 se vrátil do Anglie a zaèal pracovat v Newcastlu v kanceláøi spoleènosti Great Northern Telegraph Company, která se zabývala zámoøskou dopravou. Heaviside se sám zabýval výzkumem elektøiny. Ještì v dobì, kdy pracoval jako hlavní operátor u zmínìné spoleènosti, zaèal publikovat práce o elektøinì. První práci publikoval v roce 1872, druhou v roce 1873. Tyto práce natolik zaujaly

    The Real Heaviside Layer
    Of course, we all know of the infamous Heaviside Layer and the part that it plays in the musical ‘CATS.’ Once a year, one lucky feline is chosen to go there and then to come back to a new Jellicle life. But what is the Heaviside Layer? Is it just a term/place made up by Thomas Stearns Eliot, that great poet we all know and love? Or is it something real, something that truly exists?
    The Heaviside Layer does in fact exist. The reason we never hear of in commonly, unless we’re doing an in-depth study, is that it has two other names, one of them that we’ve been hearing for a long time. The Heaviside Layer is in fact a region known as the E layer and sometimes the E region that exists within the Ionosphere. This region of ionized particles in the atmosphere lies within the general elevation of 90 to 150 kilometers (55 to 95 miles) above the Earth, the Ionosphere existing from 80 to 640 kilometers (50-400 miles) and more.
    So what really is beyond the Heaviside Layer? Nothing but space, the stars and the planets. The ionosphere is the topmost layer in the Earth’s atmosphere, consisting of the Thermosphere and the E layer.
    The existence of this layer of atmosphere was correctly predicted by Oliver Heaviside, a British physicist who lived from 1850-1925 and, at nearly the same time, by American engineer Arthur Edwin Kennelley. The layer was proven to exist within the ionosphere in 1920 and named the Kennelly Heaviside Layer.

    Pre-History of Radio Astronomy
    The prediction of electromagnetic waves by Maxwell and the demonstration of their existence by Hertz led several scientists to speculate that celestial objects, such as the Sun and stars, might generate radio waves. The following scientists set the groundwork for the later discovery of radio astronomy. Click on each one for a summary of his contibutions.
    James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)
    In the 1860s and 1870s, James Clerk Maxwell developed the theory of electric and magnetic forces, summarized in his famous four equations. These equations encapsulated all that had been discovered about electricity and magnetism in the experiments done over the previous few hundred years by Faraday, Volta, and many others. They showed that electricity and magnetism were two aspects of the same force. The equations also predicted that there should be a form of radiation, which came to be known as electromagnetic radiation. Maxwell realized that light was a form of electromagnetic radiation. Around 1862 he wrote, "We can scarcely avoid the conclusion that light consists in the transverse undulations of the same medium which is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena."
