most of us know that Schuyler Wheeler created fans
most of us also know that Thomas Edison created artificial light

but...
what do these things run on? 

ELECTRICITY!!!

now, who created electricity
so. most of our life runs on electricity
who was that very intelligent person, to create something so important like electricity!

let us talk about Michael Faraday

Michael Faraday
The Father of Electricity, Michael Faraday was born on September 22, 1791. The English scientist, who is responsible for the discovery of electromagnetic induction, electrolysis, and diamagnetism, hailed from a poor family of a blacksmith.


7 unknown facts about the Father of Electricity:

  • Michael Faraday is responsible for the extensive study of electromagnetism, a field that changed the way human beings lived on this planet. To pay homage to him, Farad, a unit used to measure electrical capacitance, is named after Faraday

  • In 1824 Faraday invented the rubber balloon. He made balloons by cutting two sheets of rubber and pasting them together with their edges. He then filled the balloons with hydrogen. These balloons were used for his experiments on electromagnetism

  • In 1826, Faraday had founded the Royal Institution of London's famous Friday Evening Discourses and the Christmas Lectures. Both of these practices continue to this day.


  • Electromagnetic induction, the principle behind the electric transformer and generator, was discovered by Faraday in 1831

  • It was Faraday who first popularized the concept of artificial cooling or refrigeration. He said that any gas can be pressurized to its liquid form and then released as vapor, which would make the gas act as a coolant

  • Benzene, an important petrochemical product used in making plastic, was discovered by Michael Faraday. He found it in the oily residues of the gas lights in London

  • Ever wondered why you don't get electrocuted while on a flight inside a storm? It's because the plane is built on the concept of the Faraday Cage. Michael Faraday invented an enclosure that could stop any electric charge from getting inside, protecting the object in the cage.


WHOOO! THAT IS SOO MUCH HE INVENTED
