Well this was a great post @road2wisdom, I had not heard of this guy at all !! Tesla ofcourse, as he has become quite a name since at least the last ten years internet wise, but this guy still is under the radar !! Pretty impressive no to have taken the already for the time, ground breaking telephone a step further by inventing the first portable radiowave transmission device !! Pretty ingenious and mindblowing technology for sure ! ! Sad to think that both he and Tesla died similar penniless and miserable deaths, as indeed that they were both robbed of their genius by the unscrupulous wheeler dealers sorts such as Collins and the disgusting Edison in Tesla,s case !!
