What Is Electric Current? - Ivor Catt, Electrical Engineer

This is the second installment of a multipart series with famed electric heretic Ivor Catt. This time, he is here to tell us the story of the Catt question: where does the instantaneous negative charge on the bottom conductor of a simple circuit come from? A satisfying answer to the question would require us to rewire the common conception of how electrical current moves through a circuit, and so has occupied Ivor for decades. the conversation digs into Catt's question, the potential solution of Heaviside energy current, and the stodgy nature of academic science.    Support the podcast by becoming a Patron @DemystifySci   ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ https://www.patreon.com/demystifysci ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª   Ivor Catt - http://ivorcatt.co.uk   Maxwell’s original papers on electromagnetism: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rstl.1865.0008   ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ Join the mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S​ ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª   Check our main channel, @DemystifyingScience for in depth-investigations:  https://youtu.be/1OCL5Lq8m6s PODCAST INFO: Blog: http://demystifyingscience.com/blog   Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3uhn7J1 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/39IDJBD RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/demystifysci - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/demystifyingscience - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/demystifysci/ MUSIC: -Humans Win: https://www.lancewconrad.com
