Faraday’s law: The induced electromotive force (EMF) in any closed circuit is equal to the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit.
This applies whether the field itself changes in strength or the
conductor is moved through it.
Whereas it was already known at this time that an electric current produced a magnetic field, Faraday demonstrated that the reverse was also true.
In short, he proved that one could generate an electric current by
passing a wire through a magnetic field.
To test this hypothesis, Faraday wrapped a piece of metal wire around a paper cylinder and then connected the coil to a galvanometer. He then moved a magnet back and forth inside the cylinder and recorded through the galvanometer that
an electrical current was being induced in the wire.
He confirmed from this that a moving magnetic field was necessary to induce an electrical field, because
when the magnet stopped moving, the current also ceased.

Invention
Faraday disk, the first electric generator. The horseshoe-
shaped magnet (A) created a magnetic field through the disk (D). When the disk was turned this induced an electric current radially outward from the centre toward the rim. The current flowed out through the sliding spring contact m, through the external circuit, and back into the centre of the disk through the axle.
Discovery of Incandescence
- In 1802, English chemist Humphry Davy
demonstrated that by running electricity through a thin strip of metal
- that strip could be heated to temperatures high
enough so they would give off light
- The strip of metal, called a filament, is
resistant to the electricity flowing through it
- the thinner the metal, the higher the resistance
- The resistance turns the electrical energy
into heat, and when the filament becomes white-hot
- it gives off light

Innovation based on process need
Weak link is evident in a particular process
but people work around it instead of doing something about it
Changes in industry or market structure

In societal environment
Demographics
Changes in population’s size, age, structure,
composition, employment, level of education and income, literacy, double income parents, increase in life expectancy
Changes in perception, mood and meaning
Shift in society’s general assumptions, attitudes
and beliefs
New Knowledge
Advances in scientific and non-scientific
knowledge
Big possibility when advances in two different
areas can be integrated to form a basis for a completely new product
Unexpected Occurrences
3M scientists working on new adhesives Basic requirement Strong bond Instead the new adhesive had just enough
stickiness to attach and unpeel
After several possible applications, 3M
came up with
Post-it notes Became a blockbuster
One property : different applications
Incongruities
Between economic realities
A steadily growing market but
falling profit margins
Ocean freight carriers
Larger engines Faster speed
Limited improvement in profit
margins

Process Needs
Existing process has limitations Speed Yield Quality Energy consumption Safety concerns
Meeting the Process Need

Demographic Changes
The most reliable source Demographic events have known lead

By 1970, all developed countries knew
Fall in birth rates Education explosion Huge increase beyond high school
Non-availability of entry level workers Japanese took lead and developed
Robotics
Changes in Perception

New Knowledge
Among history making innovations, those based
- n new knowledge rank very high
Many emerge as superstars of entrepreneurship Key characteristics
Long lead times High casualty rates Low predictability
Multi-dimensional challenges to entrepreneurs Although all the necessary knowledge was
available by 1918,
first operational computer appeared in 1946
Knowledge based innovation is more market
dependent than any other kind of innovation
100 Years of Superconductivity
Superconductivity was first discovered on April 8, 1911, by the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. Over four decades, applications ranging from the electric power grid to consumer electronics to advanced military equipment have been developed
