    The Olympic games 1936 where broadcasted in Germany, the Nazis saw TV as an improved instrument for propaganda. They thought TVs will be available in public rooms like theaters. During WW2 some TV transmitters / receivers where designed and build for glide bombs and other missiles, but it stayed more in a prototype phase and it has nothing to do with public TV we know today.

    Nice informative video! Even though I'm an old-timer I had no idea of TV tech being researched back in like 1883(!) However, I did see where a fax machine concept was developed & produced results ~100+ years earlier. Amazing how smart our species can be...sometimes. ;-)

    My dad worked for Capehart-Farnsworth in the '50s. We had a blonde finished C-F console tv on a dais he built in the corner of the livingroom. We also had a beam antenna on a 40' mast. Living 29 mi. north of Ft. Wayne IN we could recieve stations in Chicago, Detroit, Ft. Wayne.... until a storm took the big antenna down. Capehart-Farnswoth was acquired by International Telephone and Telegraph to do secure govt work including high-speed film developing equipment to process photo reconnaisance images from air and spacecraft. Philo's later projects included the phasor which could initiate a plasma that could persist several minutes. It was thought such a plasma could be a power source and the project was acquired by a Utah university and Philo was shut out. As Philo's system was used to televise the Berlin olympic games (I think) he made some adversaries in the US govt. It's my understanding the RCA lawsuits continued til '53 when although winning the suit Farnsworth's heakth was failing. Thank you for this informative video.

  • @garyplewa9277
    @garyplewa9277 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Philo Farnsworth invented a device, later called the "Farnsworth Fusor" which demonstrated Atomic Fusion by electrostatically accelerating Deuteriumn atoms at a focused target. The device consumed more energy that it produced, making the design impractical as a power source. However it produced neutrons and deratives of the device are used specifically as neutron sources. Lookup "Tabletop Fusion" for more details. Also Sarnoff was a ruthlerss man. When an employee of RCA named Armstrong, developed FM radio as a way to cure the static problem plaguing AM radio, he saw it as a threat to RCA's lucrative business of AM radio production. Armstrong left RCA to pursue his own business producing FM radios. The first FM broadcast tower was built in Alpine, NJ (I believe it is still there today). Sarnoff responded to this by having friends of his in the FCC reassign the frequency in use for FM rendering all of Armstrong's radios usless. In his dispair Armstrong climbed to the top of the RCA building and commited suicide by jumping off. I have no doubt that Sarnoff, via Zworkin, infringed on Farnsworth, given this pattern of behavior.

    Philo T. Farnsworth was my mother's second cousin. I never met Philo, but I did meet his widow once at a family party.

      My seventh cousin, and I'm not kidding when I say this, is married to Matt Groening. According to research published online, which you can google yourself, the number of 7th cousins everyone has is roughly 120,000. So even though I never reveal my identity, this fact narrows down my identity to about 120,000 people.

    Yeah, it was Philo Taylor Farnsworth who undoubtedly transferred the first live image in the US to the public. No spinning discs, but fully electronic. And as with most genius inventors back in the day, he was totally screwed considering what television became. Dirty deals abounded to defeat Farnsworth.

      The EMI-Marconi high definition system described and solved the issue of synchronizing of the transmitted and received images, by means of generating very clever pulses, and ensuring the synch pulses were masked during line and frame flyback, giving a really high quality image.

      @@martinlintzgy1361 It isn't just a matter of putting the dots on the screen and moving them back and forth and up and down, you also have to be sure they end up at the right place at the right time. I remember thinking that when watching a nationally televised TV program on an analog TV, there were millions of other TV sets out there with their electron beams all pointed to the exact same spot on their screens as on my TV.

    Very well presented! However, switching from real world image sources to shiny/uncanny chads in "artistic representation" is very distracting... I understand needing to fill the screen during long explanations in edit, and lack of available/relevant visuals from the time period, but I am not sure that AI generated images are a good long-term solution. Good luck, it really was interesring!
