Electricity journey through time – The German Electricity Museum
Time Travel Electricity - The German Electricity Museum: We tell the story of electrification. How did people actually dial with a telephone without buttons? Who or what is Ohm? What is a hairdryer caterpillar? Are electric cars a completely new topic? Can you capture and switch off lightning? And how does electricity get to the socket? These are the questions you might ask yourself when you start thinking about something as commonplace as electricity.
