His first apparatus was a battery of accumulators short-circuiting through a wire coil, producing a momentary magnetic field of high power. Next he designed a huge dynamo to provide the short-circuiting power. With this the coils blew up. Kapitza stopped that by chilling the coils with liquid helium ( −270° C.). Finally he was able to produce magnetic fields of 320,000 gauss, five times as intense as any previously created...

Like a beneficent spider Dean Harcourt sat in the midst of things, giving out his potent secret of the desperate flies that came into his parlor. His comforting message: The race of men is what counts, not the individual. Finally...
