Expert Advice

John Perry

“The electrical engineer has an enormous advantage over other engineers; everything lends itself to exact calculation, and a completed machine or any of its parts may he submitted to the most searching electrical and magnetic tests, since these tests, unlike those applied by other engineers, do not destroy the body tested.”

— John Perry,
Pioneering Irish engineer, president of the Institution of
Electrical Engineers and the Physical Society of London

Michael Faraday“The beauty of electricity or of any other force is not that the power is mysterious, and unexpected, touching every sense at unawares in turn, but that it is under law, and that the taught intellect can even now govern it largely.”

— Michael Faraday,
Famous scientist, contributor to the study of
electromagnetism and electrochemistry
