His broadcast power silliness, with it's inefficency and harmonics , would have killed any possibility of broadcast radio. I wonder how Tesla's work would have been different if his first great rivalry had been with Marconi rather than Edison. Frank Dresser |

He was using the Burger King Calendar while following the Angus Diet - just enjoy life. Do whatever you want. Eat whatever you want as long as it makes you
Have a Happy whomever's day Celebrating whatever day Tesla is the greatest inventor that God ever gave a brain ever! |

You'll notice that your name is included in my posting. I cut and pasted to the wrong place. My humblest apologies to you and Mr. Dresser... ;-) From Wikipedia: In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States credited him [Tesla] as being the inventor of the radio. |

From Wikipedia: In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States credited him [Tesla] as being the inventor of the radio. The Supreme Court can get it wrong. They also asserted that Lee de Forest invented the regenerative detector. But what is radio? Is it just tuned circuits or is it the transmission of intelligence using radio waves? As far as I know, Nikola Tesla didn't have much more interest in the communication potential for radio than Tom Edison had in the "Edison Effect". And, lets not forget that Heinrich Hertz's experimental apparatus could have also been used to transmit information with radio waves. But, I'm sure we can all agree it was a good thing for radio that the broadcast power scheme failed. Frank Dresser |

As far as I know, Nikola Tesla didn't have much more interest in the communication potential for radio than Tom Edison had in the "Edison Effect". He did have an interest in communications but was more interested in power transmission. And that's the question. How much interest did Tesla have in radio communication? I'm no Tesla expert, but as far as I can tell, the answer is "not much". At least not much interest when compared to other radio pioneers who were not only thinking up (or 'borrowing") interesting technology but also thinking up useful applications for that interesting technology. . And, lets not forget that Heinrich Hertz's experimental apparatus could have also been used to transmit information with radio waves. Well, Tesla actually transmitted control signals to a boat. The first remote controlled boat. Sure, and if Tesla had devised a system to telegraph messages between boats and ships and shore stations then we never would have heard of Marconi. Had Tesla taken an interest, he might have invented that early 1900s chain of stations to track severe weather. As it was, Tesla's boat fixed a problem nobody had. But, I'm sure we can all agree it was a good thing for radio that the broadcast power scheme failed. No I don't agree. -- Telamon Ventura, California Broadcast power would have been RFI hell.
