Kenneth M. Swezey

[2] From early on he wrote about science and technology, selling his first article, on how to make a wet cell battery, at age 11.

[3] In his late teens he got a job writing a column on radio technology for the New York paper The Sun.

After World War II he wrote many books explaining scientific principles, sometimes equating them with everyday life and use in the home workshop.

[8] Swezey thought the United States should honor Tesla and spent most of his life collecting the Serbian-American inventor's materials, writing about his inventions, and trying to memorialize him in other ways.

He also lobbied for ships, schools, and a unit of measurement to be named after Tesla as well as the issuing of a commemorative stamp.
