Description

The focus on Professor Otto Schmitt with his wife, Viola, and their development of the first Magnetic Airborne Detector for use during World War II makes an excellent illustration of the life and importance of scientists. Scientists are portrayed as oddballs, self-centered, single-minded and lacking common sense, which they are, but they mostly can solve problems that no one else has been able to solve. The case of Otto Schmitt, who convinced the military he could develop a method to detect submerged U-boats, proved the method, and then 200 systems were ordered, all in the matter of ten months, is a tight snapshot on the methods and lifestyle of a scientist. Most technical developments do not have such a compact and easily measurable result. On 18 February 1942 Otto first devised and prototyped his 'unbalanced magnetometer' and on 26 November 1942 Otto receives a letter from Vannevar Bush (the technical advisor to President Roosevelt) stating "new devices ... have recently been used in combat with the enemy and have not been found wanting. .... We seemed to have reached the turning point of the war." The best way to describe Otto and Viola's focus and research is 'The Electricity of Life'. The connection of the electromagnetism of MAD and the Electricity of Life experiments plays together to illustrate how our lives are formed to co-exist with electromagnetics and society. And sometimes it is the experimental outliers that have a large impact on society and our lives.
