"Billy Burpelson" wrote in message ... Frank Dresser wrote: Did Tesla have any particular interest in radio? Nah...he was just the inventor of radio, that's all. See below. This Supreme Court ruling came out shortly after Tesla's death. The case was Tesla vs Marconi (and thus m II's reference above to Marconi)... 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 I don't know, Frank...it may have rid us of a number of those wearing tinfoil hats. |
