	He sure did build a number, some of which are covered in his patents
and others of which are described in in "Researches, Experiments, and
Writings"  (book is in another room and I forget the exact title).  He
built several very clever machines and talked about using them for
communications.

		Magamps are control devices, not generators.  They need an external AC
power source.
