Radio

无线电

Tesla's theories on the possibility of the transmission by radio waves go back as far as lectures and demonstrations in 1893 in St.Louis, Missouri, the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the National Electric Light Association.

特斯拉关于通过无线电波传播信息的可行性的理论可以一直追溯到他1893年在密苏里州圣路易市, 宾夕法尼亚州费城的富兰克林学院和 美国国家电灯协会所做的讲课和演示。

Tesla's demonstrations and principles were written about widely through various media outlets.

特斯拉的演示和原理通过各路媒体广泛传播。

Many devices such as the Tesla Coil were used in the further development of radio.

许多设备如特斯拉线圈等被用于无线电的进一步发展。

Tesla's radio wave experiments in 1896 were conducted in Gerlach Hotel (later renamed The Radio Wave building), where he resided.

1896年特斯拉的无线电试验在格拉克酒店(后来更名为无线电大楼) 进行,那里也是他当时居住的地方。

In 1898, Tesla demonstrated a radio-controlled boat—which he dubbed "teleautomaton"—to the public during an electrical exhibition at Madison Square Garden.

1898年,特斯拉在麦迪逊广场花园的一场电子展览上向公众展示了一艘无线控制的船，他称其为“遥控自动化技术”。

The crowd that witnessed the demonstration made outrageous claims about the workings of the boat, such as magic, telepathy, and being piloted by a trained monkey hidden inside.

目睹了这次演示的人们就船是怎样运作展开了各种猜测,比如魔法,心灵感应,甚至是一只受过训练的猴子藏在驾驶舱里来驾驶的。

Tesla tried to sell his idea to the U.S. military as a type of radio-controlled torpedo, but they showed little interest.

特斯拉试图向美国军方出售他的设计——一种无线电控制的鱼雷,但他们美国军方对此没什么兴趣。

Remote radio control remained a novelty until World War I and afterward, when a number of countries used it in military programs.

远程无线控制在当时仍然是一个新奇的事物,直到第一次世界大战之后,才有一些国家在军事项目上使用这项技术。

Tesla took the opportunity to further demonstrate "Teleautomatics" in an address to a meeting of the Commercial Club in Chicago, whilst he was travelling to Colorado Springs, on 13 May 1899.

1899年5月13日，在特斯拉前往科罗拉多科泉市途中，他顺路在芝加哥一个商业俱乐部的会议上进一步演示了“遥控装置” 。

In 1900, Tesla was granted patents for a "system of transmitting electrical energy" and "an electrical transmitter.

1900年,特斯拉得到了“电能传输系统”和“电讯发射机“的专利。

" When Guglielmo Marconi made his famous first-ever transatlantic radio transmission in 1901, Tesla quipped that it was done with 17 Tesla patents.

当1901年古列尔莫•马可尼完成著名的首次跨大西洋的无线电传输后,特斯拉讽刺他窃取了17项特斯拉的专利才得以完成此事。

This was the beginning of years of patent battles over radio with Tesla's patents being upheld in 1903, followed by a reverse decision in favor of Marconi in 1904.

这是持续多年的无线电专利战的开始，特斯拉的拥有此专利直到1903年,而1904年马可尼被授予此专利。

In 1943, a Supreme Court of the United States decision restored the prior patents of Tesla, Oliver Lodge, and John Stone.

1943年,美国最高法院恢复了先前的判决，即特斯拉,奥利弗•洛奇和约翰斯通拥有无线电专利。

The court declared that their decision had no bearing on Marconi's claim as the first to achieve radio transmission, just that since Marconi's claim to certain patents were questionable, he could not claim infringement on those same patents (there are claims the high court was trying to nullify a World War I claim against the U.S. government by the Marconi Company via simply restoring Tesla's prior patent).

法院宣称,他们的决定没有影响（他们承认）马可尼的主张即他是第一个实现无线电通讯的人，只是马可尼的主张涉及的某些特定的专利还存在疑问,他不能主张拥有这些专利(有传言说最高法院试图简单地通过恢复之前特斯拉的专利，来避免马可尼公司向美国政府索取第一次世界大战期间产生的专利费)。
