The Electrical Experimenter (OCLC|8740783) was a technical science magazine that was published monthly. It was first published in May 1913, as the successor to Modern Electrics, a combination of a magazine and mail-order catalog that had been published by Hugo Gernsback starting in 1908.citation|last1=Massie|first1=Keith|last2=Perry|first2=Stephen D.|title=Hugo Gernsbeck and Radio Magazines: An Influential Intersection in Broadcast History|journal=Journal of Radio Studies|volume=9|issue=2|year=2002|pages=264–282|url=http://home.utah.edu/~u0202363/hugo_pub.pdf.] "The Electrical Experimenter" continued from May 1913 to July 1920 under that name, focusing on scientific articles about radio, and continued with a broader focus as Science and Invention until August 1931.

The magazine was edited by Hugo Gernsback until March 1929, when the publishing empire of Sidney and Hugo Gernsback was forced into bankruptcy; after that date it was edited by Arthur H. Lynch. [ [http://www.philsp.com/data/data104.html Magazine Data File: Electrical Experimenter] ]

Under the editorship of Gernsback, it also published some early science fiction; he published several of his own stories in the magazine starting in 1915, and encouraged others through a 1916 editorial arguing that a "real electrical experimenter, worthy of the name" must have imagination and a vision for the future.
