Electrokinetica - Our team

Meet the team

We are a group of enthusiasts with a shared interest in electrical, electromechanical and electronic things of all kinds, and our combined expertise covers a wide range of disciplines. We are presently forming the charitable trust which will own and operate the Electrokinetica collection and exhibition. Although we are spread around the country we have a nominal base in London. The final location of the physical museum will be decided in the next year or two; the important thing is that we are already collaborating on conserving artefacts whilst the groundwork progresses slowly and steadily. It is an inescapable fact that many of the last examples of interesting things are being discarded every day, therefore the group members have taken the initiative and contributed their personal resources to ensure that these items are not lost forever. Many of us already have collections of our own, and you will see some of the items featured on this site attributed to their respective owners, which will either be donated or loaned to the trust once in operation.

Lucien N

Lucien is an electrical engineer presently designing equipment for the motion picture industry in London. Previous exploits include theatre and marine electrical systems and sound for live events. Particular interests within electrical technology are electrical wiring and switchgear, automatic telephony, electromechanical automation, cinema equipment, mercury-arc rectifiers and DC machines. Lucien has been involved with a number of museum and conservation projects not all of which were electrically related, but is now focusing on preparing exhibits for the startup phase of Electrokinetica.

Richard O

Richard's interest in things electronic began at a young age, when the early introduction of BBC computers into his primary school (in the UK, this covers those aged 5-11) and the time willingly given by a science teacher in feeding the seemingly insatiable mind of a young boy led to a continued interest in computer technology. This is also where Richard first met Lucien; they have remained friends ever since. As a former IT professional, Richard took on responsibility for the development of this website and for the information pages about the computers in our collection; Whilst no longer working in this field, early home and business computer technology and equipment remain a lifelong interest.
