Guglielmo Marconi, Inventor of Radio

From the family was, Guglielmo Marconi was born in 1874 in Bologna, Italy. This radio inventor private education from a teacher. In 1894 when the age of twenty, Marconi read the experiments conducted by Heinrich Hertz a few years earlier. These experiments clearly demonstrate the existence of electromagnetic waves invisible to the eye, moving through the air with the speed of sound.
Marconi then intrigued by the idea that these waves can be used to send signals over long distances without wires by providing many possible development of communication can not reach a telegram. For example, in this way the news can be sent to the ship at sea.
In 1895, only a year of hard work, Marconi succeeded memprodusir necessary equipment. In 1896 he demonstrated his discovery tool in the UK and earn his first patent for this invention. Marconi quickly set up a company and "Marconi" first delivered in 1898. The next year he was able to tell the news not through a wire across the English Channel. Although the most important patent obtained in 1900, Marconi went for it and patented many improvements on the basis of his own invention. In 1901 he managed to send a radio news across the Atlantic, from England to Newfoundland.
The importance of new discoveries dramatically illustrated in 1909 when the SS Republic damaged by collision and sinking to the seabed. News radio is very helpful, all the passengers could be rescued but six people. In the same year Marconi won the Nobel Prize for his invention. And the following year he successfully sent a radio news from Ireland to Argentina, a distance of more than 6000 miles.
All this news was sent via the signs Marconi code system. As known, the sound can be sent by radio, but this could only happen around the year 1915. Radio broadcasting in the new commercial scale began early 20s, but its popularity and its importance grew very fast.
A patented invention has a high price by itself create conflict in the courts. However, are varieties of court charges over the years gone vanished after 1914 when the court recognizes the rights of Marconi. In the next year, Marconi did also important investigation in the field of short wave and microwave communications. He last breath in Rome in 1937.

Besides Marconi became famous as the inventor, it is also clear undoubted influence in terms of the importance of radio and things associated with it. Marconi did not find a television. However, the discovery of radio is an important trailblazer for television, because it is considered feasible Marconi also owns stock in the development of television.

Clearly, wireless communications have very important meaning in the modern world. This is very useful for delivery of news, for entertainment, for military purposes, for scientific investigation, for police work, and other purposes. Although to some extent a telegram (which had found someone more than half a century earlier) arguably also have utility, the use of radio massive really do not tertandingkan. He could reach the car, ships at sea, the plane was airborne, and even spaceships. Clearly a more important discovery than for tilpun news sent via tilpun can also be sent by radio, after all the messages can be sent via radio to places that can not be achieved telephon. Michael H.
