Andrew Crosse, nyanzvi yesainzi, akaita zvisingafungidzike kuti zviitike makore zana nemakumi masere apfuura: akasika hupenyu netsaona. Haana kumbotaura zvakajeka kuti zvisikwa zvake zvidiki zvakatorwa kubva muaether, asi haana kumbokwanisa kuona kwazvakabva kana zvisina kugadzirwa kubva muaether.
Crosse akagara nhaka yemhuri hombe yechirungu, inozivikanwa seFyne Court, mushure mekushaya kwevabereki vake. Crosse akashandura imba yemumhanzi yekare manor kuita yake "electric room," murabhoritari kwaakaita ongororo dzakawanda mumakore apfuura.
Kuti aongorore magetsi omumhepo, akavaka mudziyo muhombe, uye akanga ari mumwe wevanhu vokutanga kuvaka mirwi mikuru yemagetsi. Asi kungava kutevedzana kwekuedza kunenge kusingakoshi kugadzira zvicherwa zvisiri izvo zvaizosimbisa nzvimbo yake yakasarudzika munhoroondo.
Mudzimai waAndrew Crosse Cornelia akanyora mubhuku "Zviyeuchidzo, Sainzi uye Zvinyorwa, zvaAndrew Crosse, Mugadziri weMagetsi", rakabudiswa makore mashomanana afa muna 1857,
“Mugore ra1837 Mr. Crosse vakanga vachitsvaka kumwe kuedza kwe<em>electro-crystallization, uye mukati mokunzvera uku, zvipembenene zvakaita kuti zviratidzike mumamiriro ezvinhu aiwanzouraya upenyu hwemhuka. VaCrosse havana kumbobvira vaita zvinopfuura kutaura chokwadi chezvitarisiko izvi, izvo zvavakanga vasingazvitarisiri zvachose, uye pamusoro pazvo zvavakanga vasina kumbotaura chero dzidziso.
The "zvipembenene" yakatanga kuumbwa mukuyedza umo musanganiswa wemvura, silicate yepotassa, uye hydrochloric acid yakadonhedzwa padombo reVesuvius iro raigara richiiswa magetsi newaya mbiri dzakabatanidzwa nebhatiri revoltaic. Crosse anoti, "Chinangwa chekuunza iyi mvura kune yakareba inoenderera mberi chiito chemagetsi nekupindira kwebwe rinoputika kwaiva kugadzira kana zvichiita makristasi esilika, asi izvi zvakakundikana."
Maitiro acho haana kuburitsa mhedzisiro yaaitarisira naCross, asi panzvimbo iyoyo akawana chimwe chinhu chisingatarisirwi zvachose. Crosse akawana zvidiki, zvichena zvinobuda kubva pakati pedombo rakaiswa magetsi pazuva rechigumi nemana rekuyedza.
Pazuva rechigumi nesere Crosse akacherekedza kukura kwakura, uye zvino kwave kureba "Filaments" kufungidzira kubva kwavari. Zvaive pachena ipapo kuti aya anga asiri iwo ekugadzira zvicherwa Crosse aiedza kugadzira, asi pane chimwe chinhu chaishoresa kunzwisisa.
Crosse akacherechedza, “Pazuva rechimakumi maviri nenhanhatu, zvitarisiko izvi zvakatora chimiro chechipembenene chakakwana, chakamira chakatwasuka pamatinji mashoma anoumba muswe wacho. Kusvika panguva iyi ndakanga ndisingazive kuti zvitarisiko izvi zvaive kunze kweiyo incipient mineral formation. Pazuva rechimakumi maviri nesere, zvisikwa zviduku izvi zvakafambisa makumbo azvo. Zvino ndinofanira kutaura kuti handina kushamiswa zvishoma. Mushure memazuva mashoma, vakazvibvisa padombo, ndokufamba-famba vachinakidzwa. "
Zvinenge zana zvezvipembenene izvi zvisinganzwisisike zvakaumbwa padombo mukati memavhiki mashoma anotevera. Pavakadzidzwa nemaikorosikopu, Andrew Cross akawana kuti madiki aiva nemakumbo matanhatu uye makuru aiva masere. Akaunza zvisikwa kune pfungwa dzeentomologists, avo vakasarudza kuti dzaive mite dzemhando yeAcarus. Vanodanwa se 'Acarus Electricus' mune Andrew Crosse's memoirs, kunyangwe ivo vachinyanya kuzivikanwa se 'Acari Crossii.'
Akanyora “kunoratidzika kuva kune misiyano yepfungwa pamusoro pokuti imhuka dzinozivikanwa here; vamwe vanoti havasi. Handisati ndambopa mufungo pamusoro pechikonzero chokuberekwa kwavo, uye nokuda kwechikonzero chakanaka zvikuru—handina kukwanisa kuumba imwe.”
Mhinduro iri nyore, nhoroondo yake yechiitiko ichi yakati, “yaiva yokuti dzakamuka kubva muzai remazai rakaiswa nezvipembenene zvinoyangarara mumhepo uye rinochochonywa nemagetsi. Zvakadaro, ndaisagona kufungidzira kuti zai raigona kupfura simbi, kana kuti shinda idzi dzaigona kuva bristles, uyezve handina kukwanisa kuona, pakunyatsoongorora, zvisaririra zvedemhe.”
Crosse akadzokorora kuedza kwake kakawanda, nguva yega yega achishandisa seti yakasiyana yezvigadzirwa, asi akauya nemigumisiro yakafanana. Akashamiswa kuona zvipembenene zvichikura mainji akawanda pasi pemvura inokonzeresa, ine magetsi mune dzimwe nguva, asi yaiparadzwa kana ikakandirwa kumashure mushure mekubuda mairi.
Mune chimwe chiitiko, akazadza midziyo nemhepo ine chlorine yakakwirira. Pasi pemamiriro ezvinhu aya, zvipembenene zvichiri kuumbwa uye zvakaramba zvakagadzikana kweanopfuura makore maviri mukati memudziyo, asi hazvina kumbofamba kana kuratidza chero zviratidzo zvehupenyu.
“Chitarisiko chazvo chokutanga inyika duku zvikuru jena yakasikwa pamusoro pemuviri une magetsi, dzimwe nguva pamugumo wakanaka, dzimwe nguva pamugumo usina kunaka, uye apo neapo pakati pezviviri, kana kuti pakati pemhepo ine magetsi; uye dzimwe nguva pane zvese,” Crosse akatsanangura.
Iri twunhu tunokura nekurebesa kwakati nemazuva mashoma, uye twunoburitsa twumafilafi twakachena twunokwanisa kuonekwa kuburikidza nelenzi ine simba shoma. Ipapo kunouya kuratidzwa kwehupenyu hwemhuka kekutanga. Kana poindi yakanaka ikashandiswa kuswedera kune idzi filaments, dzinodzikira uye dzinodonha semazoophytes pa moss, asi dzinowedzera zvakare mushure mekunge poindi yabviswa.
Mushure memazuva mashomanana, mafilaments aya anokura kuva makumbo uye bristles, uye acarus yakakwana inobuda, iyo inodzivirira pachayo kubva pakuberekwa kwayo, uye kana iri pasi pemvura, inokwira kumusoro kwewaya yemagetsi, uye inopukunyuka kubva mumudziyo, uye inodya pamvura. kana kunze kwemudziyo, kana pabepa, kadhi, kana chimwe chinhu chiri pedyo nayo.
Mutsamba ya1849 kumunyori Harriett Martineau, Crosse akacherekedza kuti chimiro chemite chakafanana sei nemaminerari akagadzirwa nemagetsi. "Mune vazhinji vavo," akatsanangura, “kunyanya pakugadzira sulfate yeraimu, kana sulfate yestrontia, kutanga kwayo kunoratidzwa nekakwapa kakachena: ndizvo zvakaita mukuzvarwa kweakarasi. Iyi mineral speck inowedzera uye inorebesa yakatwasuka: ndizvo zvinoita neacarus. Ipapo iyo mineral inokanda kunze filaments chena: ndizvo zvinoita acarus speck. Kusvika ikozvino zvakaoma kuona mutsauko pakati peiyo incipient mineral nemhuka; asi sezvo mitsara iyi inova yakanyatsojeka mune imwe neimwe, muminera inova yakaoma, inopenya, yakajeka maprismu ane mativi matanhatu; mumhuka, dzakapfava uye dzine shinda, uye pakupedzisira dzakapiwa kufamba noupenyu.”
