Translation of Excerpts of Niccolo Cabeo's Philosophia Magnetica (1629)

I just published my new video , which covers the Accademia del Cimento as well as Niccolo Cabeo, and their contributions to electrical science. This video took five months (!), from research, to translating (and brushing up on my Latin, which I had been neglecting), to making the music, to making CG renders of the Accademia's apparatus (by first learning Blender...) and finally editing. I've already mentioned the great pains I took transcribing the notes and diary of the Accademia del Cimento. Now, here is my working version of the translation of parts of Niccolo Cabeo's Philosophia Magnetica . I expect to revisit this translation soon.
