Thank you miss Kathy for bringing us up-to-date on the development that Marconi went through, to establish his communication company.
However, everyone keeps missing the 1st proven wireless communication.
Dr Maylon Loomis, a dentist in the state of Virginia, obtained patents and was working with the US Navy after he performed the 1st wireless communication between 2 mountain tops, 14 miles apart using kites with 300' wites going to an arc point on the ground, keying the circuit with a telegraph key.
His 1st documented experiment with witnesses to testify, occurred several years before Marconi was even born.
He was making progress in developing his project, when a nationwide economic panic occurred, scaring off future investors.
He died almost broke with no further progress being made.

I think Tesla was a pacifist and carelessly bragged about his patents, instead of securing his future ideas he allows others to elaborate on what he should've elaborated himself, consequently prompting investors to shun him or look elsewhere to invest on.
It clearly destroyed him.
I've made mistakes like that for example, disclosure of my research points and information on Gravity and Dark Matter detection, to theoretical Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder, hoping she would contact me, but instead she was granted funding to look into my theory of Spatial viscosity, being Dark Matter as a third component of Gravity and this component being Expansion of the Universe.
So. yes, some of us do screw up at times. anyway, good video, Cathy.

Marconi never lost the view on a radio system as a whole, utilising already made subsystems, and inventing the components that were missing. The breadth of his work was vast; other inventors limited themselves to small parts of the wider system.
Marconi was self-educated. Prove is the studies on propagation of radio waves he authored, and all calculations for antennas.
Tesla played a very limited part in the radio discovery, as he was working on power distribution. Tesla had no theoretical knowledge of physics, and come to refuse all accepted science. The role of Tesla has been magnified on the Internet lately, without consideration for existing historical about the very minor role, if any, he had in the development of radio.

Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose was the person who first demonstrated the science behind capturing radio waves. Wondering how he is not as well known as Marconi? This is because he never patented his work.
Bose is known as the father of wireless telecommunication. He had invented the Mercury Coherer, a radio wave receiver that was used by Guglielmo Marconi to build an operational two-way radio. The science behind capturing radio waves was first demonstrated by Bose. While Marconi was celebrated for his invention, Bose remained unknown to many, as he never patented his work.

Two comments regarding Tesla:
1. He SHOULD have cared that Marconi was using his patents instead of being so dismissive of it!
2. Tesla never mentioned which 17 patents Marconi was using! No one bothered to challenge him on this statement, which was merely another one of Teslas gross exaggerations. If you take a look at the patents Tesla had when his statement was made, he didnt even anywhere near 17 patents which would have been applicable!

Wireless telegraph predates electricity - so invention is the wrong word here - it converges when radio is found/decided to be electromagnetic wave/a form of light. The invention/innovation is the detection and modulation. Tesla's patent failed on this(inovation) - so was struck as to broad.
This is a case where Tesla's patent piracy failed - the US patent system encourages international IP theft by design. :)
Thank you for this.

According to Tesla's autobiography J. P. Morgan did not fund his transmitter: I would add further, in view of various rumors which have reached me, that Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan did not interest himself with me in a business way but in the same large spirit in which he has assisted many other pioneers. He carried out his generous promise to the letter and it would have been most unreasonable to expect from him anything more.

Ezina ekinez egina, Basque saying meaning: the impossible is done through action.
I got the feeling that Tesla was to obsessed about patents and that instead home-educated Marconi was only interested in achieving. That's why he won.
And probably being home-tutored helped, not so much in grounding his knowledge but in securing his self-confidence. School destroys self-confidence.

great video - I had heard Marconi used Tesla's patents, seems like at every turn Tesla got mowed over, He wasn't interested in making money - I think Morgan was all about profiting from the large radio tower, Tesla wanted to allow the masses to access free energy. kinda sad. Kathy, again you are spot on, I'm looking forward to watching the next video!

I believe there is an article in the ARRL QST magazine, which speculated Marconi did hear the signal on that first transmission due to harmonics from the transmitter and a receiver with low selectivity, so instead of being at medium frequencies that would be unlikely to get through, the transmission and reception was at HF which was likely to get through.

First it was amazing. Edison also had some patents, which transfered to Marconi. Edison formally transfers to the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company several patents bearing upon the transmission of wireless messages, and gives his services to the company as a technical director. The consideration is a large block of the company's stock.

Is it weird that Morse and Marconi both stole other people's inventions? Also, one supported the American Confederacy and the other, the Italian Fascists.
His mother was Irish protestant? Why did she marry an Italian, if she disliked Catholics so much. Some weird psychology going on there.

Where could I find a verifying article that Marconi told his valet. I'm very sorry, but I'm going to put you and my friends to considerable trouble. I fear my end is near. Will you please inform my wife?
Respectfully just curious. I enjoy your videos very much. Thank You

Hi Kathy, hats off. You have to read N. Tesla's Colorado Springs notes _diary made from 1899 to1901.
It is not a nonsense to use energy of ionosphere as (spheric) condenser to discharged it. Maybe technically impossible, but conservation of energy ok

Interesting Telsa had a one of his labs down the street from my house in Rocky pt/Shoreham LI. NY and Marconi also had a Lab for one his trans-Atlantic transmissions from the same area which became the RCA property. his Shack on the High school grounds

Just for the sake of History of Science, an italian professor described the making and use of a coherer and published his findings in 1884 and 1885 ) in the italian journal of Phisics Il Nuovo Cimento. His name was Temistocle Calzecchi Onesti

At 6: 00 it was the letter 'S', not 'SOS', that Marconi claimed to have heard at Signal Hill which overlooks the city of St. John's, Newfoundland. This is not a criticism, but a correction. You provide so many facts, I would guess errors are

One account was JP Morgan wanted Tesla to develop radio have communications between his facilities, factories, plants, etc. Tesla never developed radio to the point of practical communications and eventually JP Morgan ceased funding.

Galvani, of course.
In 1791 Galvani installed an antena on top of house, connected the wires to a frog's leg.
When an electrical discharge occurred in a thunderstorm, the frog's leg would move.

You omitted the part of the story when Marconi did receive the first trans-Atlantic radio transmission fro Europe at Signal Hill on the Island of Newfoundland.
