The February 1917 issue of Electrical Experimenter features the cover story “Trench Destroyer.” Many issues during World War I featured cover stories of fanciful technological weapons aimed to mechanize war and save the human soldier, or at least the human soldier whose side had the technological weapons. But inside the issues most articles continued to be about radio and other developments in electricity. This issue includes an article and interview about Nikola Tesla and a photo supplement portrait. Also included is an installment of the Baron Münchhausen series, “Martian Atmosphere Plants.”
