Chaoter 4: Fear and Confidence

Faraday returned in spiral 1815. In all, the trip was 19 months long. He was also invited by Davy to unroll the papyri in Italy but he refused saying he couldn't leave the royal institute. He soon became the trusted hands Davy needed in the lab. But Davy wasn't the only one that got his help. Professor William T. Brande also got faraday's help in the lecture hall and the labratory. In 1815 Faraday and Davy thought of a way to help miners in the coal mines. Since methane was responsible for many of the explosions, Faraday and Davy came up with a metal mesh to keep the oxygen away from the flames. The result was a stronger brighter flame that showed how much methane was in the air depending on how bright it was. But with just a little wind, it would create a huge explosion so they didn't really do anything.
Faraday ended up messing up the results of a phosphorus experiment that he was trying to recreate for a fellow scientist and he claimed the results were wrong and the other scientist was wrong. When Davy revealed this to the world, he looked like a fool. Faraday soon realized what he had done and apologized saying we are all open to errors.
Faraday soon met 19 year old Sarah Barnand and Faraday was in love. When her parents found out, they sent her to Ramsgate in order to separate them but Faraday followed her there. On June 12,1821 they were married and moved into the 2nd floor apartment of the royal institute. Sarah did not follow her husbands scientific path and said that she was the missing part In her husbands personal universe.
Faraday soon hated working for Davy and felt he had outgrown the old chemist. But he stayed feeling he was obligated to him because of how Davy helped him in the start. Faraday soon found a huge discover that would make him not bound to Davy anymore but would nearly destroy his career.
