	In the early 1800's, Orstead, Ampere, and Faraday laid down the foundation for building electric motors by introducing the basic principles of electromagnetic induction. In 1820, Orstead had confirmed that there was a relationship between electricity and magnetism. In the same year, Ampere invented the solenoid and discovered Ampere's Law, which helps describe magnetic fields produced by motors and solenoids. In 1821, Faraday successfully converted electrical energy into motion and created the simplest form of the electric motor. In 1832 however, William Sturgeon introduced the first ever commutator DC electronic motor, and later on in 1837, Thomas Davenport created a DC motor for commercial services and received the first US electric motor patent, which is why a lot of people associate him with the first person to invent the electric motor.

			Michael Faraday also discovered the operating principle of electromagnetic generators between the year 1831-1832.The principle, later coined as Faraday's Law, simply put is that an electromotive force is generated in a conduction which encircles a changing magnetic flux. The first generators that were made were disk generators and direct current generators. Later come alternating current generators. As science had developed so to have the generator technology. Generators are now designed in both DC homopolar and MHD generators, as well as AC induction, linear electric, variable speed constant frequency generators. They exist on vehicles, bicycles, sailboats, and are essential components to every aspect of our daily life.

	a. Motors are heavily used in robotics, which is something that I have been interested in ever since I was on my high school's robotics team. In robotics, we heavily rely upon motors to power the robot and allow the robot to perform as it is supposed to. I am interested in going into the robotics industry, particularly the electronic component of the industry, so knowing how motors work is very useful to me.		a.

	b. Generators are connected to my everyday life because the provide energy to the power-grid that ultimately allows the United States to function in the manner that it does. Something as simple as turning on a lite bulb or charging a cell phone would simply not be possible without generates. I guess I could say I am interested in maintaining the quality of life I have right now, so I am definitely definitely interested in generators.		b.

	a. Even though I'm a Computer Science major, I want to eventually go into the robotics industry. In robotics, when coding for any robot, you need to know how the electronic components of the robot are able to produce energy for the robot to function. You need to be able to write code that is able to be translated by the CPU and will allow each controller and motor to function.		a.

	b. The industrial applications of generators are endless. The generators can be coal, water, or nuclear based and the construction of each one of these is a huge part of industry. Then there is the actual generation and allocation of power, which involves the entire power grid. All of this is super fascinating because there are rising concerns about the potential affects of the destruction of the power grid. These affects could have detrimental affects on all aspects of life. Unless you live of the grid, chances are your life would be turned upside down.		b.
