THE WIRELESS !!!!!!!

Today it is a wireless world.
This is GETTING-DONE by the EM waves carrying signals(audio/video/multimedia)....

HISTORY::



Marconi's first wireless signal (1893) : three dots that made history

In June 1896 a 22-year-old Italian physicist called Guglielmo Marconi, who had settled in London the previous year, called upon the Engineer-in-Chief of the Post Office to demonstrate his new system of 'telegraphy without wires'. He had already approached the Italian government - but it showed no interest.

The Post Office was more receptive and allowed Marconi to set up his transmitter on the roof of the Central Telegraph Office, and a receiver on the roof of a building called 'GPO South' in
Carter Lane
, 300 yards away.

On July 27 Marconi succeeded in sending the signals between the two locations. It was the world's first recorded wireless message. The following month The Post Office gave Marconi backing to experiment with wireless apparatus on Salisbury Plain and in coastal locations.


JC BOSE 'S ROLE IN THE WIRE-LESS

Pioneer of electro-magnetic waves and widely regarded as the first modern Indian scientist, Jagadis Chandra Bose was a far-sighted visionary and gifted experimentalist. In 1895 in Calcutta, he publicly demonstrated wireless transmission of electromagnetic waves for the first time anywhere in the world, using the waves to ring a distant bell to thereby explode some gunpowder. The Daily Chronicle of England noted in 1896 that "The inventor (J.C. Bose) has transmitted signals to a distance of nearly a mile and herein lies the first and obvious and exceedingly valuable application of this new theoretical marvel." Bose was also the first to use a semi-conducting crystal as a detector of radio waves. According to Neville Mott "J.C. Bose was at least 60 years ahead of his time" and that he had "anticipated the existence of P-type and N-type semiconductors." Bose was invited by Lord Rayleigh to present his experiments at the Royal Institution in January 1897, attended by Marconi's business partner who importuned him to take out a patent and share his proceeds with him. Bose refused on the grounds that scientific discoveries must inure to the benefit of the public. Marconi's wireless transmission on Salisbury plain did not occur until May 1897





FUTURE FICTION::

Crazily thinking,if EM waves would be capable of carrying matter(air/liquid/solid)
Some characteristics of that new world will be PIPE-LESS PETROL PUMPS,PIPE-LESS AIR FILLS,....


COMMENTS PLZ::
Itz just a Crazy thought of myne..
Experts Of the Domain(wireless technologies) may find the blog content indifferent/crazy.... But i am eager ,looking for
their's comment on the fiction......
THANX FOR VISITING THE BLOG !!! ----sidhartha
