I work on industrial and marine generators. I was fascinated by electricity fron a verry early age. My parents had to buy me a book on the subject when I was 4 years old. B by y the time I was five I was experimenting with things and and trying all manner of ways to either electrocute myself or burn the house down. By a combination of luck and intuition I managed to avoid doing either. By the time I was 13 I had mastered engines, generators and control, with the help of an old Onan master service manual. Good Lord I wish these vids had been available to me at the time! They are a great way to learn electrical history and theory. They are presented in an outstanding way and are fun to watch even for one who makes a living doing work every day using the discoveries of these astounding people. Faraday and others created my profession!

Hi Kathy, I have been reflecting for a considerable period about the nature of the intuition and their important role for our understanding of the reality and i need to be 100 % sure about one thing. Can you confirm me, please, if It's true that Michael Faraday envisioned the magnetic field during a dream that he had at a given moment of his life? Thanks and regards from Portugal.

So the discovery of electricity [ AC ] generation by mechanical means, heart of our industries & public utility, owes to the Michael Faraday. Later modifications & inventions was made - single, two & three phase - within next 80 yrs led to our present day ubiquitous power system. Besides Faraday discovered electrical transformer as well.

I apologize if I am clogging your comment sections with endless praise, but I am mesmerized by the way you combine biography and history with the fascinating discovery of electricity and beyond. You make these ghosts of the past become alive again and speak to us with eloquence and inspire us to honor their quests.

I would think that Faraday's experiment with the ring with two windings was not drawn to scale, or the compass needle's response to the current in the secondary winding would've been swamped by its proximity to the primary winding. I would guess he had longer wires leading from the secondary to his galvanometer.

Faraday was not a qualified physicist, yet his concept of a field is central to physics and still it is central to quantum mechanics. Meditation is the source of knowledge. Socrates preached that everybody's brain contains all the knowledge, it is a matter of retrieving it.

The dc disc generator can be operated backwards as a motor, since F = qv x B, if you feed current from the center of disk to the periphery, with a contact near where the magnets are. Did Faraday try this? I guess you could cut slots in the disc to minimized Eddy currents.

Tesla was the guy that patented all the discoveries from European scientist, with brilliant improvements of his own, but who really discovered the AC, the transformer, the electrical motor, even field theory was Faraday. History has treated poorly Mr. Michael Faraday.

Hi, great videos, I'm wondering about the video after the faraday one, where your talking about Eddie currents in the copper, and how Casper, is the one the found out what wrong, or can you just tell me what needs to be done please Kathy?

I like your program, but annoyed by the four electricity repetitions, twice. Could you do a short clip of the same singer(s) doing something about E & M instead? Maybe reduce the repetitions to two?

This explains why in another video someone said the Faradays law was really someone elses formula. I love the history storytelling. I need to find a timeline for all these electrical discoveries.

His generator reminds me of an old hand cranked flashlight I had. Just squeeze it many times until the little incandescent bulb would glow. Thank you for the great video. Have a nice day as well!

Was the meter he used simply a compass needle that reacted to the current, or could he already measure the current intensity? BTW great videos I'm binge watching all of them!

Brilliant presentation. I've been watching all of them. I just have eto jump over that music jingle as it is like scratching fingernails on a chalkboard.

So because Faraday didn't know differential calculus, let alone vector calculus, we have this quaint terminology of lines of force being cut.

1: 01. I'm sorry I thought you were going on a whole different direction there LOL. Faraday had a little 6-inch. Iron Ring.

At 6: 40 Faraday experiment shows magnetic electric motion -- so this should be useful in appliances and vehicles.

Great videos! I'm especially interested because I'm disproving Einstein and loving The Electric Universe Theory.
