Default What is a heterodyne.....

Sometimes Cuhulin it is NOT who came up with invention first, but who
patented it (if such were available) and who best promoted it and marketed
it successfully.


Case in point
Marconi is credited with the invention of wireless (radio) 1895
and he was very good at promoting and marketing.

Others say it was Tesla.
By early 1895, Tesla was ready to transmit a signal 50 miles to West Point,
New York see URL:

But one Mahlon Loomis did a successful wireless experiment in 1868 before
Marconi was born - 1874.
You can read about it at URL:

Few today have heard of Mahlon Loomis. Perhaps the world wasn't ready.

saw those old advertisements with my very own eyes,there isn't anything
wrong with my memory.The Wright Brothers did not invent the first engine
