The sparking would have stopped after an equilibrium was reached. The investors thought that consumption metering would be a problem, so financing was stopped. ====================================== As early as 1892, Nikola Tesla created a basic design for radio. On November 8, 1898 he patented a radio controlled robot-boat. Tesla used this boat which was controlled by radio waves in the Electrical Exhibition in 1898, Madison Square Garden. http://www.teslasociety.com/radio.htm ====================================== I wonder how Tesla's work would have been different if his first great rivalry had been with Marconi rather than Edison. It was. There were really bad irregularities at the patent office. Marconi had connections. Roughly forty years alter, thing were turned around. =============================================== A majority of the Court found, after tracing the lineage of radio through Maxwell, Hertz, Lodge, Tesla, and Crookes, the basic Marconi patent (No. 763,772, filed Nov. 1900) used nothing not already included in Tesla's earlier patent No. 645,576 (filed Sept. 1897), except for the presence in Marconi's design of an inductively tuneable antenna. (And the antenna element under discussion-Lodge's patent, No. 609,104-was bought from Lodge by Marconi.) The Court went on to note that Stone's radio patent (No. 714,756) completely anticipated Marconi's, antenna included. Stone, by the way, had always credited Tesla with the first basic, workable design, saying of his own patent it was "practically the same as that employed by Tesla" –but with the valuable refinements of a tuneable antenna and design adjustments to "swamp" parasitic oscillations in the transmitter. http://www.hbci.com/~wenonah/new/tesla.htm ============================================= ================ Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was the genius who lit the world, whose discoveries in the field of alternating polyphase current electricity advanced the United States and the rest of the world into the modern industrial era. Nikola Tesla had 700 patents in the US and Europe. Tesla's discoveries include the Tesla Coil, fluorescent light, Tesla Statue wireless transmission of electrical energy, radio, remote control, discovery of cosmic radio waves and use of ionosphere for scientific purposes. http://www.teslasociety.com/ ============================== Due to the insane amount of spam and garbage, I block all postings with a Gmail, Google Mail, Google Groups or HOTMAIL address.

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! |

Marconi had connections. Roughly forty years alter, thing were turned around. The patent process was and still is rife with loopholes that almost encourage abuse. A.G. Bell beat Elisha Gray (who ironically founded Western Electric and ran it during the rise of AT&T) to the patent on the telephone through a technicality. Gray actually had a working model first. And had the first filing. Bell's project borrowed liberally from Gray. (When I worked at AT&T, it was a cardinal sin to mention Gray's name. We were all shown "The Alexander Graham Bell Story." A film with huge historical inaccuracies regarding the invention of the telephone. A film for which Alexander Graham Bell's daughter, Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor, had official script approval. The film was also funded with huge help from AT&T.) Vladimir Zworykin had actually visited Philo Farnsworth' lab and translated whole technologies to his own Sarnoff funded project for the development of Television. And with the aid of Sarnoff's lawyers, landed the patent. As with Tesla, Farnsworth's estate was eventually vindicated by the courts, and Farnsworth was posthumously named the inventor of Television. |

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.

Nikola Tesla rigged up a car, (Pierce Arrow car, whatever it was?) and
he ran that car for at least a minute or two on ''free power'' I think that car was getting power from that tower in Long Island, somewhere around there.It wasen't real free power. cuhulin |
