205 years ago, in 1821, Michael Faraday, an assistant at the Royal Institute in London, invited his wife to his laboratory to share his delight after a successful experiment. There was a vessel filled with mercury on the table. A current through a vertical copper wire set in motion a magnet floating in a liquid metal. It was the first ever electric motor model. The scientist lived with his beloved wife for forty-six years.
