Each era has its particular scientific focus and we may be under the impression that everything within a certain field of research of the past has been exhaustively explored and disclosed by now. Are, however, all discoveries complete and all conclusions correct? We once thought that the atom was a fundamental particle until its nucleus of protons and neutrons was discovered. We know today that the latter consist of smaller particles, called quarks, and that an even smaller particle, the electron, orbits around the nucleus.

It is our belief that great scientists such as Faraday, Tesla, Lorentz, Lenz and others have laid the scientific foundations for new and world dominating industries. Today their laws still hold and many of their patents are still the basis of industrial applications. However they have applied their theories and laws within the state of the art of the moment. Tesla didn’t have neodymium magnets, Faraday wasn’t aware that something called the electron was the mobile charge carrier in his conductors, and all of them probably didn’t have to worry about environment and cost of fuels as we do today.
