‘Professor Steve’s Science Of Frankenstein’ Coming To Milford
By Books & More-
Born of a nightmare fueled by an evening of ghost stories, stormy weather and flickering candlelight, “Frankenstein” has provided 200 years of both mental and visual horrors. It is considered to be the first science fiction novel. It was one of the first horror movies ever made, and it was written by a teenage girl.
Listen as Professor Steve tells the horrific story of Mary Shelley's “Franken-stein” and the stories of scientists that influenced Shelley, including details about the real “Dr. Frankenstein.”
Witness the wonder of Frankenstein as Professor Steve demonstrates many concepts found in the book and the movies, including light, anatomy and electricity.
Stare in amazement as Professor Steve unleashes the electrical power contained in Frankenstein's laboratory with his Jacob's Ladder (17,000 volts), his Wimshurst Static Generator (75,000 volts) and his amazing Tesla Coil (capable of generating almost 750,000 volts of raw electricity).
