December 11, 1909 - Guglielmo Marconi receives the Prize Nobel !

Tesla did it first if i remember correct and had an earlier patent. During ww1 marconi tried to sue the us government. He lost the lawsuit and at that time Tesla's earlier patent would be restored. This was after tesla had died but he did in fact create the first radio. Marconi was also a very interesting person. Tesla did not care about money as much as he did about inventing. He was a true inventor in every sense of the word. He was screwed over and over by those that took advantage of him however he kept going. It is amazing that he had the fortitude to continue after all the the crap he dealt with. I still believe to this day that his idea of free electricity can be achieved if only we could tap into our unlimited supply revolving around the earth in the upper atmosphere.

 

Oh boy, "'It's deja vu all over again'
Too cold out for that kind of contest and besides it might freeze.

 

Tesla invented several of the concepts and inventions used in radio. Marconi put them all together and made a radio to communicate with.

MARCONI was the FIRST INDIVIDUAL to bring together all the CLEVER HUMANS who'd come before HIM to actually make "POINT-TO-POINT" communications POSSIBLE !!! He didn't INVENT WIRELESS but he did BRING IT ALL TOGETHER to launch another "HUMAN REVOLUTION" !! !BLESS THE OL'BOY for accomplishing that GIGANTIC FEAT !!!

Hi Nathan

Well that's an association which is wrong. Coffee machines and irons were made by Max Braun who created his company in 1920, no relation to Karl Ferdinand Braun.

 

Both wrong, I dun it.

I just don't get no respect.

Has anyone heard of Nathan Stubblefield, the non-inventor of radio?
I used to live in his home town of Murray Ky. He used ground and water conduction and
magnetic fields to communicate short distances bud did NOT invent radio as we know
it using Hertzian waves. Some claim he did.

Definitions do cause a lot of problems.
