Michael Faraday

Charles Ludwig spent his youth with his missionary parents in Kenya. Devouring all available books on electricity, he soon became interested in amateur radio. He wound his own coils, manufactured his own batteries, and with a one-cylindered engine driving a discarded Chevrolet generator, developed enough power to operate his own radio station. Ludwig and his family lived in Tuscon, Arizona, where he devoted most of his time to freelance writing.
