dispute on the subject who invented the radio has been going on for decades.In the West believe that the authorship belongs to the Italian scientist Marconi.Russia put forward its own candidate - Alexander Popov.So who is the author of the invention?
history of every great discovery has at least a couple - three contenders for authorship.On the radio, you can say the same thing.
world's first receiver Popov presented May 7, 1885 in the city of St. Petersburg.
Marconi made the first radio session in 1896, but the device was more than perfect.The range of the signal was about one and a half kilometers away, while the device Popov covered only 250 meters.Both
inventor, speaking the language of sport, were almost "head to head".
While Alexander Stepanovich perfected his invention and tested it in the field, a quick Italian managed to run the plant for the production of equipment of wireless telegraphy in England, and in 1909 had already received the Nobel Prize for "their" development.
It would seem that the question of who invented the radio can be considered closed, but it is not so simple.The theme of "Who invented the first radio" has continued.It's no secret that a few years before the invention of Marconi, a theoretical model of the radio Nikola Tesla calculated.By the way, Serbian physicist stated his authorship in court.Two years before the end of the Second World War, the Supreme Court acknowledged the American-Serbian immigrant after the first inventor of radio.
Then someone invented the radio in reality?It is now joined to the applicants even Nikola Tesla, who developed a theoretical model.But it turns out that's not all.In the same 1896 in Calcutta scientist George. Bose introduced a similar device that transmits a sound signal at a distance.Three years later the Indian made a presentation at a scientific meeting of the Royal Society.
According to historical facts, Marconi met in London with Mr Bose.Some suspect ushlogo Italian that he simply stole his Indian book with drawings and borrowed the idea of mercury coherer.
curious that the Italian did not really know how to explain the interest, how he managed to solve the problem of radio waves passing through various obstacles.In addition, he submitted the instrument was almost an exact replica of what created the Bose.
Thus, it can be argued that the question of who invented the radio, and to date remains open.Mr. Marconi, among other things, the son of wealthy parents, and hence commercial vein it has been sufficiently developed.So he hastened to obtain a patent for an invention, while scientists ASPopov and John. Bose neither money nor fame are not particularly interested.
By the way, Alexander Popov never claimed the title of the discoverer of radio.This honor he provided Nikola Tesla, believing that his theoretical work formed the basis of the invention.
Device Oliver Lodge, whose name is also often on the list of radio inventors, and all was set up under the scheme Popov, who by that time had appeared in scientific journals.
Some sources contain information that invented the first wireless ordinary farmer from Kentucky.By the way, he made it 4 years earlier than Popov and Marconi.But Mr. Stubblefield was unlikely to qualify for the title of inventor of the radio, his device works on the principle of induction.
Many historians, and just sensible people, the authorship of Marconi's invention of the radio in question pose a huge question.However, the Italian weasely accused not only of stealing other people's scientific development, but also in the fact that he spent a long time giving interviews all sorts of publications, famously gave for their own ideas and views Nikola Tesla.It was including the wireless transmission of energy.
When asked what year invented the radio, too, can be answered in two ways.In Russia, the Radio Day is celebrated in May.However, when it was invented wireless telegraph and radio, in its usual form, appeared only in 1921.
