Francis James McDonald Farley FRS 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 and Brookhaven. 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.
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".

Hughes Medal
The Hughes Medal is awarded by the Royal Society of London "in recognition of an original discovery in the physical sciences, particularly electricity and magnetism or their applications". Named after David E. Hughes, the medal is awarded with a gift of £1000. The medal was first awarded in 1902 to...

Royal Society
The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, known simply as the Royal Society, is a learned society for science, and is possibly the oldest such society in existence. Founded in November 1660, it was granted a Royal Charter by King Charles II as the "Royal Society of London"...
