As early as 1892, Nikola Tesla created a basic design for radio. On November
8,1898 he created a radio controlled robot-boat. Tesla used this boat which
was controlled by radio wavad in the 1898 at Madison Square Garden.
Tesla's robot-boat was constructed with an antenna, which transmitted the
radio waves coming from the command post where Tesla was standing. Those radio
waves were received by a radio sensitive device called coherer, which
transmitted the radio waves into mechanical movements of the propellers on the
boat.
Tesla changed the boat's direction, with manually operated controls on the
command post. Since this was the first radio waves, it made
front page news, in America, at that time.
Most of us, think of Guglielmo Marconi as the father of radio, and Tesla is
unknown for his work in radio. Marconi claimed the radio, something originally developed by Tesla. Nikola Tesla tried to prove that he was the creator of radio but it wasn't until 1943, where Marconi's patents were
invaled however, people still have no idea about Tesla's work with radio.
