The Electrical Experimenter

The Electrical Experimenter was an American technical science magazine that was published monthly.

It was established in May 1913, as the successor to Modern Electrics, a combination of a magazine and mail-order catalog that had been published by Hugo Gernsback starting in 1908.

[1] The magazine was edited by Hugo Gernsback until March 1929, when the Experimenter Publishing empire of Sidney and Hugo Gernsback was forced into bankruptcy; after that date it was edited by Arthur H.

[2] Under the editorship of Gernsback, it also published some early science fiction; he published several of his own stories in the magazine starting in 1915, and encouraged others through a 1916 editorial arguing that a "real electrical experimenter, worthy of the name" must have imagination and a vision for the future.

[3] Between August 1917 and July 1919, Nikola Tesla wrote five articles for the magazine,[4] and also published parts of his autobiography in segments in several issues in 1919.
