"A man who is certain he is right is almost sure to be wrong" - Michael Faraday, father of the electrical motor
"Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more." - Nikola Tesla, father of the first AC motor
The theme this month comes from beacon_dave and its Movers and Shakers. Its any project that causes things to move or shake such as ones that use servo motors, stepper motors, vibration motors, solenoids, mechatronics, levers, and linkages.
The idea was first proposed by a servo project competition was first proposed by beacon_dave in response to Building a Hobby Servo Controller – Part 1 by shabaz before expanded on in the monthly poll: https://www.element14.com/community/polls/2705#comment-125810.
The Movers and Shakers theme is in honor of the contributions of movers and shakers in the scientific community such as Michael Faraday and Nikola Tesla, and to anyone that moves progress forward by forcing change.
Faraday was responsible for some of the scientific achievements rank up there with the great ones such as Einstein, Newton, Maxwell, Hawking, Ampere, Oersted, Hertz, Edison, Volta, Tesla, and Edison. Einstein kept photos of 3 scientists in his office: Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, and Michael Faraday. Thomas Edison, Nikolas Tesla, and Michael Faraday are all considered the fathers of electricity. Faraday himself would meet fellow Movers and Shakers, Ampere and Volta in Milan.
Another reason that Faraday is featured in the Movers & Shakers theme is because his discovery of electromagnetic motion would lead to the electric motor. His project was an electric motor apparatus and its the oldest is surviving Faraday project dating back to 1822. He used a mercury bath to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy in what could be considered the first electric motor
