A blinded sphinx moth trying to pick a lock. Happy moth week!

It took three years between William Sturgeon inventing the electromagnet with single loose windings, and Joseph Henry improving it with multiple tighter windings.

I know things that seem obvious to us weren't at the time, but "I dunno, wind
the wire more" feels like an easy win.

Is it just me or do magpies always look suspicious.
