Marvel at the stories of scientists that influenced Mary Shelley, including details about the real "Dr. Frankenstein". Witness the wonder of Frankenstein as Professor Steve demonstrates many of the concepts found in both the book & the movies, including light, anatomy & electricity. Stare in amazement as Professor Steve unleashes the electrical power contained in Frankenstein's laboratory with his Jacob's Ladder (17,000 volts), his Wimshurst Static Generator (75,000 volts) & his amazing Tesla Coil (capable of generating almost 750,000 volts of raw electricity).
