Michael Faraday was fortunate enough to study under Humphry Davy, president of the Royal Society. Davy seems like one of the smartest people in the world. After the establishment of the Royal Society, Davy built the world’s largest and most powerful Voltaic piles. Using just the Voltaic piles he discovered sodium, potassium, boron, barium, calcium, and magnesium. Faraday would soon wage war with Davy and overthrow him. By studying under Davy, Faraday was challenged to always prove himself to the world and Davy.
