First of all, I would like to introduce you to the great scientist who found that Faraday’s law and Maxwell’s equations were wrong.

While studying as a scholar, he studied vocal music under Mario Del Monaco, the best opera singer of the 20th century.
He has also appeared on Japanese music TV shows.
He has taken up political economy and social issues and continues to send his opinions through his own website.
His attitude of pursuing the essence thoroughly without being confused by common sense can be seen from these activities.

The following text is an English translation of what is posted on Tamotsu Usami’s website.

Here’s a quote from his self-introduction.

In 1961, when I was watching a TV program, I was overwhelmingly shocked by the screen.

On the screen, Mario Del Monaco, the best tenor singer of the 20th century, was singing the aria “Vesti la giubba” of the opera “I Pagliacci”.　I was completely fascinated.

At that time, I was admiring Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison and studying at Tokyo Institute of Technology.

But the shock completely overwhelmed me, who didn’t know anything about opera or songs.

After that, under the teaching of the late Professor Shinroku Saito (former president of Tokyo Institute of Technology), I completed a master’s degree in research on ceramics.

Professor Saito advised me that it is better to experience working at a private company once than to continue studying at graduate school immediately after graduation.

So I worked for “Japan Asbestos (currently” Nichias “)” and “Hitachi,Ltd” for several years.

But I couldn’t forget the impression of Mario Del Monaco’s aria that I had listened to when I was a student.

It was impossible for me to forget it.

I quit the company.

Then I went to Italy to learn from Mario Del Monaco.

I lived with him as a disciple to learn from Mario Del Monaco, who I’ve always admired.

At that time, Mario Del Monaco suffered from kidney disease and had already retired from active singing.

I took lessons every day at his home in Italy. I was taught his great voice.

It was completely unknown that Mario Del Monaco had a Japanese disciple.

This was something no one knew until later on a Japanese TV music show that featured me.

On that TV music show, I sang the aria “Vesti la giubba” that fascinated me when I first listened to the opera. This has been one of the most wonderful moments in my life

Soon after, Mario Del Monaco passed away.

In addition, Professor Saito, a teacher who took care of me in Tokyo, has also passed away.

I lost two great teachers.

I continued my stay in Italy and was taking lessons with Mario Del Monaco’s wife.

After losing two great maestro, Professor Otsuka of Meisei University, who was my boss when I was working at Hitachi, advised me to return to Japan.

Professor Otsuka told me the will of Professor Saito.

It was like this.

“Please bring Usami back to the world of science.”

I decided to go back to Japan.Then, I started researching electromagnetics using Professor Otsuka’s laboratory.

Many people will think, “It’s strange to study electromagnetics while studying ceramics at university“.

Professor Saito always lamented, “It is strange that the Japanese academia thinks that after studying for a few years in college, it specializes only in that field for the rest of its life and has nothing to do with other fields.“

Respected as the “father of electricity”, Michael Faraday (1791-1867), who supported his family from the age of 13 and was far from academic, has made many achievements in fields other than electricity.

Regarding this great Faraday, Keita Koyama introduced the following proverbs of German literary master Goethe (1749-1832) in his book “Faraday (Era of Experimental Science) Kodansha Academic Bunko”.

Unfortunately, Mr. Koyama makes the following description according to the subtitle of his work (the era of experimental science).

This is a real shame. It is still the age of experimental science and should continue to exist.

When I was in university, I didn’t master electrical theory and only touched on ceramics research. However,I assembled a handmade experimental device using a copper round bar with a diameter of 5 mm and a copper flat plate with a width of 10 mm, and repeated the experiment while using an electric measuring device that was far superior to the Faraday era. About five years later, I wrote my first book. Based on that, I continued to consider further experiments, added theoretical reinforcement, and repeated a total of 5 supplementary publications.

In those books, I have almost overturned the conventional theory and built a completely new and novel theory.

The procedure was born out of the process of experimenting and confirming what I thought was strange in the knowledge of electricity that I had learned at school.

For example, if I learn that “electricity flows from the positive side to the negative side of the power supply, and electrons flow in the opposite direction”, then I wonder what is that electricity?

If no one knows what the essence of electricity is, it would be easier to understand if you tell us that electrons are used as electricity, the charge of electrons is changed from minus to plus, and electricity, that is, electrons flow from plus to minus.

Also, if I learn that “electricity flows from high voltage to low voltage, and the ground is set to zero volts as the reference for that voltage,” then is the current flowing from the positive electrode of the dry cell toward the ground?

Even though the transformer coil is wound many times, the one where electricity enters and the one who returns is in a short state.

But why doesn’t the fire blow out from the transformer?

When I was concerned about these points and experimented, I realized that what I had been taught in the past was a product of misunderstanding one after another.

Therefore, no conventional knowledge of electricity is required to read this book.

Knowledge of electricity may just get in the way.

When I sent my book to the editor-in-chief of a famous Japanese scientific magazine, I received a reply saying that I didn’t want to see a book that denied “Maxwell’s equations”.

If you don’t understand the meaning of an unfamiliar term related to electricity, skip that part or refer to “Wikipedia” on the Internet.

The author also refers to “Wikipedia” etc. on a daily basis for terms.

But in the near future, my book will rewrite the description of the electrical phenomena in Wikipedia.

Please take a look at my books with the feeling that you have abandoned your current preconceptions about electrical theory and have been reborn as “a genius Faraday in the age of experimental science.”

And please realize that we are still in the age of experimental science.

The original book has a total of 459 pages, so I have divided it into separate volumes with some new experimental results supplemented so that you can easily pick it up and read it.
