Magazine Famous Engineers

Welcome to the magazine Famous Engineer, for today we will have 3 famous engineer, they are Frederick Taylor in manager engineering, Isaac Newton in Mechanical Engineering and Michael Faraday in Electrical Engineering.
We learn about their life, their mains theories and their influence in our days.

In order to begin I invite to Michael Faraday.

Please an applause

Michael Faraday
Good morning Mr. Michael,
Good morning Mrs. Yusbania
How are you?
Ans: Very well, thank you very much
Mr. Michael welcome to the magazine Famous Engineer, thanks to share with us this space where we hope to know him a little and to learn much about you.
Where are you from?
Ans: Hi, I am British
Speak to us a little about your childhood
Ans: I am son of James Faraday, one of four children, my childhood was very poor.
Which are your studies?
Ans: I had only the most basic of school educations because in my family was very poor, really I am a self-taught person, I studied with complete independence.
What was your first job?
Ans: When I am 13 years old, I began to work like helper to a local bookbinder and bookseller George Riebau, the next year I was ascended to apprentice of the job. During seven years that I was here, I did read scientific books and I did experiments about electricity and I obtaining a big interest for the science but I didn`t know mathematics and differential calculus but I have a great ability to make graphics.
How you became in an important scientist?
Ans: After some years of work in the library, and for the opportunity that gave me a client, I could attend the lectures on chemistry subjects that Humphry Davy gave in Royal Institution. After, I did send to him all the notes that I had taken throughout these sessions, accompanied by a use request. Satisfied with the material that I was send to him, Davy contracted me in 1812, like assistant.
Its activity began realizing maintenance workings, to happen later to collaborate with the teacher in the preparation of the laboratory practices; I became one more of his disciples.
Why you like so much the electricity and the magnetism?
Ans: I like much the electricity and the magnetism because it is something that although is not visible is real and has a great power, It can be used to help to the society implementing new machines, for example, I have a project of a rotator machine with the power of electromagnetism.
Gives us some advice for those who want to be some great scientists and to follow your example
Ans: To all the people who want be a scientific they can follow the six tips that I follow, this tips are:
· Have always with you a small pad with the purpose of taking notes at any time.
· Maintain abundant correspondence.
· Meet persons to interchange ideas.
· Avoid the controversies.
· Verify everything that it is said to you.
· Not generalize, speak and write as precise as possible.

Mr. Michael thanks for his time and to share a little to us about his life.


Frederick Taylor

Now, I invite to Frederick Taylor
Good morning Mr. Taylor
Good morning Mr. Juan Diego
Where you are from?
Ans: I was born in 1856 to a wealthy family in Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Speak to us a little about your childhood
I since my adolescence began to lose the eyesight; my body was weak and could not to participate in the games like the baseball and tennis.
In my paper of spectator, I dedicated my life to conceive how to improve the yield of the physical effort wasted by the players by means of a suitable design more of the instruments used by them.
For me the most important was to measure the effort, the place and the movements to obtain the greater possible efficiency in the sport as in the production.
Which are your studies?
Ans: I studied for two years in France and Germany and traveled Europe for eighteen months. Upon graduation, I was accepted at Harvard Law. However, due to rapidly deteriorating eyesight, I had to consider an alternative career; for this reason I took night study at Stevens Institute of Technology and 1883 obtained a degree in Mechanical Engineering. On October 19, 1906, I received an honorary degree of Doctor of Science by the University of Pennsylvania and eventually became a professor at the manager business at Dartmouth Collage.

What has been his labor experience?
After the depression of 1873, I became to work at Midvale Steel Works. I was promoted to gang-boss, foreman, research director and finally, chief engineer at Midvale.

From 1890 until 1893 I worked as a general manager and a consulting engineer to management for Manufacturing Investment Company, Philadelphia.

Why you became an important engineer?
Because I believe that the industrial management of our day was very empirical, and the management could be formulated as an academic discipline, and to obtain the best results from the union between a qualified management and a cooperative and innovative workforce. Each side needs the other, and there is not need for trade unions. For this reason I invented the scientific administration.
Excellent Mr. Taylor; so, what is the scientific management?
The scientific management consists of four principles:
Replace empirical work methods with methods based on a scientific study of the tasks.
Scientifically, to select, to train and to develop to each employee.
Provide detailed instruction and supervision of each worker in the performance of each task.
Divide work nearly equally between managers and workers, so that the managers apply scientific management principles to planning the work and the workers actually perform the tasks.
I invite to see the video about the scientific management
Finally, how you would like to be remembered?
I would like remembered for developing the time and motion study and the standardization of tools. For to study with a chronometer the required time to make each movement and to select the fastest way to use each tool of work and to eliminate the slow and useless movements and to select fastest and better and for my philosophy:
My Philosophy:
Science – nonempirismo
Harmony - nondiscord
Cooperation - nonindividualism
Maximum yield - restricted nonyield
The development of each person until its greater effectiveness and prosperity.
Hola Señor Taylor,

Isaac Newton
Now, I invite to Isaac Newton
Good morning Mr. Newton
Good morning Mrs. Yusbania, Mr. Juan Diego
Who are you?
Ans: My name is Isaac Newton Ayscough
When and where do you born?
Ans: I was born on 4 January 1643 in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire. England [OS: 25 December 1642). I was born prematurely.
Who was your father?
Ans: His name was Isaac Newton, I was born three months after the death of my father, he was a illiterate yeoman,
Who was your mother?
Ans: My mother was Hannah Ayscough she said one time that I could have fit inside a quart mug.
When I was three, we was a humble and poor family, because of this my mother remarried and went to live with her new husband, the Reverend Barnabus Smith, leaving me in the care of my maternal grandmother, Margery Ayscough
When I was young I disliked my stepfather and held some enmity towards my mother for marrying him.
And I threatened my father and mother Smith to burn them and the house over them.
Where do you study your basic education?
Ans: From the age of about twelve until I was seventeen, I was educated at The King's School,
I was removed from school, by October 1659; I was to be found at Woolsthorpe - by - Colsterworth, where my mother, widowed by now for a second time, attempted to make a farmer of me. But she didn’t understand I hated farming.
Henry Stokes, master at the King's School, persuaded my mother to send me back to school so that I might complete my education.
How was yours university studies?
Ans: In June 1661, I was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge as a sizar--a sort of work-study role. Because my mother didn’t have money to pay the college.
At that time, the college's teachings were based on those of Aristotle but I preferred to read the more advanced ideas of modern philosophers such as Descartes and astronomers such as Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler.
What happened in 1665?
Ans: In 1665 I took my bachelor's degree at Cambridge without honors or distinction. Since the university was closed for the next two years because of plague, I returned to Woolsthorpe in midyear. There, in the following 18 months, i made a series of original contributions to science.
In mathematics I conceived my 'method of fluxions' (infinitesimal calculus), laid the foundations for his theory of light and color, and achieved significant insight into the problem of planetary motion, insights that eventually led to the publication of the Principia (1687).
How was your relationship with yours contemporary?
Ans: In 1967 I go back to Cambridge in that year I was accepted like a fellow in the trinity college, and the next year I was appointed master of arts. The Scientifics showed their interest in me, then I built a telescope.
The royal society request my sing in, and them I published a series of letters of optica, because of that Robert hooke member to the royal society developed a zeal for my publications and find out
I didn’t like the the discussions, because of my published was generated so I renounced to the society,
I still was a teacher of math optic and mechanic in Cambridge,

What is the 40 shillings history?
Ans: One day in January to 1964 Christopher wren Edmond halley and Robert hooke, were in a tavern, They were discussing about his theories, in that moment wren promised 40shillings who demonstrated the “What will be the trajectory of the planets on the assumption that the gravitational force acting inversely to the square of the distance?”
So halley travelled to Cambridge to find me and he ask to me the same question : What will be the trajectory of the planets on the assumption that the gravitational force acting inversely to the square of the distance
Son I answer to him: an ellipse, surprised he ask to me how I could reach this result. And I answer
I have calculated.

I did this job because of Hooke, I was angry to him, and I was interest in demonstrate mathematically the idea that he can’t demonstrate.
Because of all of this find outs, my contemporary Edmund halley was interested in I published all this, then after a lot of hard work I published:
Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica.
