From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francis James McDonald Farley FRS^[1] is a British scientist.

During WWII he was heavily involved in the development of wartime microwave radar to control the Dover guns. He later took part in innovative experiments in particle physics at CERN^[2] and Brookhaven National Laboratory. He has worked on wave energy since 1976 and has filed 14 patents in this area. He is the co-inventor of the Anaconda wave energy device.^[3]

He won the 1980 Hughes Medal of the Royal Society "for his ultra-precise measurements of the muon magnetic moment, a severe test of quantum electrodynamics and of the nature of the muon".^[4]

In 2012 he wrote a novel, Catalysed Fusion, set at CERN.
