Electro-magnetic

Electro-magnetic \E*lec`tro-mag*net"ic\, a. Of or pertaining to electromagnetism.

Electro-magnetic engine, an engine in which the motive force is electro-magnetism.

Electro-magnetic theory of light (Physics), a theory of light which makes it consist in the rapid alternation of transient electric currents moving transversely to the direction of the ray.

Usage examples of "electro-magnetic".

In other words, the sections of helices of the solenoid produce an accelerated motion of the projectile by acting successively on it, after a principle involved in the construction of electro-magnetic rock drills and dispatch tubes.

Stimulated by Maxwell's mathematical conclusions, Hertz and Marconi were soon afterwards able to demonstrate those phenomena which have led on the one hand to the electro-magnetic theory of light, and on the other to the practical achievements of wireless communication.

Detectors and spy-rays are useless, electro-magnetics are practically paralyzed, and optical apparatus is distinctly unreliable.

It wasn't known generally, but Fortescue had just perfected a successful electro-magnetic gun—powderless, smokeless, flashless, noiseless and of tremendous power.

If so, your mind energy was negative, funnelled in and pressing down on the brain as already described, causing dysfunction of the electro-magnetic circuit around your body and producing depression and fatigue.

When we deal with electro-magnetic energies, neutrons and so on, we sometimes find that the best sort of machine to handle them is -- well, a plain metal bar.

As we have said, Maxwell's use of a material analogy as a means of formulating mathematically the properties of electro-magnetic fields of force had led to results which brought electricity into close conjunction with light.

Sandwiching electro-magnetic recording tapes between such magnets was like wiping a blackboard roughly with a wet sponge: there would be traces of what had been recorded there, but not enough to make sense.

I believe these energy lines are mirror images of the electro-magnetic network that surrounds this planet, and I also believe that they can be damaged by the collective unconscious mind.
