English inventor Michael Faraday conceived and built the first electric motor, then he tried to get the backing of Prime Minister William Gladstone.

Gladstone wasn't impressed with the crudely made invention.

"What possible good is it?" asked Gladstone.

Faraday's reply changed Gladstone's attitude: "Some day you'll be able to tax it."
