Michael Faraday
~ 1791 - 1867
Michael Faraday was an English scientist born on September 22, 1791, known for his groundbreaking contributions to electromagnetism and electrochemistry. He was a pioneering experimentalist whose work laid the foundation for the field of electromagnetism, including the discovery of electromagnetic induction and the Faraday's laws of electrolysis. Faraday is also remembered for inventing the electric motor and the dynamo, profoundly influencing the development of electrical engineering.
I have far more confidence in the one man who works mentally and bodily at a matter than in the six who merely talk about it.
