~ Quotes by Michael Faraday: But still try, for who knows what is possible?; I must cofess I am jealous of ther term atom; for though it is very easy to talk to atoms, it is very difficult to form a clear idea of their nature; I am no poet, but if you think for yourselves, as I proceed, the facts will form a poem in your minds.
It was September 3rd, 1821, and Michael Faraday came to The Royal Institution in the morning to do, I imagine, simply some experiments in his laboratory. and in case you are wondering where that is, it's about 100 meters out and about 10 meters down just that way. What we didn't know was, by suppertime, he would have invented the electric motor.
Welcome to Michael Faraday's laboratory, from the exact place that Michael Faraday did many of his discoveries. I'm Professor David Ricketts, and I'm here at the Royal Institution in London researching the innovations of Michael Faraday and the other great scientists that have worked here.
What is the first name that comes to mind with the mention of electricity? Thomas Edison? Nikola Tesla? Perhaps even Benjamin Franklin. Yet Michael Faraday as every right to belong on that list too, as it's impossible to imagine a world without his contributions to science.
Prelude To Power: The story of Faraday and the Induction Ring. A huge compound horseshoe magnet with two pull pieces to concentrate the field an electrical conductor passing between the poles of the magnet and as the disc the conductor is turned a continuous electric current flow through the galvanometer circuit this was the very first dynamo, the date was 1831.
While 19th-century London was a place where dreams often met dead ends, one boy's curiosity would light up the world. We take electricity for granted today, but have you ever wondered who made these discoveries possible? Michael Faraday came from the slums and revolutionized physics. Born in 1791, Faraday grew up in a poor neighborhood south of the River Thames, the son of an apprentice to the village blacksmith.
Before I get into the details of the history of electric fields, and the magnetic fields, and the electromagnetic waves, I'd like to take a moment to go into a little bit about why I ended up making this video. See, I was writing a video on the physics of the Faraday cage, and I realized that I need to use electric fields to describe it.
