Many predietions have been made re- garding the possibility of transmitting us le mer;w by radio, many of them rash. most of them arousing skepticisms | in the minds of competent mennusi Visionary dn- the extreme, some of the predictions represent dreams which some persons believe will become reality | in time. : Who will gainsay anything in this| age of wonders? New Wonder Tube. The General Electric tube, standing two feet in height and five inches in diameter, lighted incandescent lamps to full briliancy without wires or socket. cooked a sausage, fried an egg and baked an apple attached to an aeridl picking up 1ts high frequency emana- tions, and radiated heat enough to have & death-dealing effect upon rats and & blood-warming effect upon humans. The “broadcasting” is on a wave- ength of six meters, far down in the| m*x of the radio wave spectrum that is generally regarded as radio’s purgatory. The self-excited oscillator is capable of radiating up to 15.000 watts of power | into space, which is about 50 times as| much as any short-wave tube has ever | Dbeen able to produce. { experiment recalls the oft-re- | assertions of Nikola Tesla, the | ew York inventor, to the cffect wireless power transmission will ionige the whole electri- rv. Al the power now dissi- n being radiated into space— he strength of a fly is repre- th> cnergy by which an ordi- na¥y receiving set picks up & program— 'will be saved and used, Mr. Tesla main- tains. He ventures the assurance that automobiles will draw their motive en- €rgy from central power “broadcasting” stations: that incandescent lamps will be supplanted by electrodeless vacuum or gas-fillled tubes which it will not be necessary to connect by wires. Static Energy Motor. Francis Jenkins, Washington in- ntor, hes,perfected a {iny motor h he claims is run entirely by static energy. It is heid between thumb ond fingers and is connected with an an- | tenna and ground wire. The static en- energy is received by the antenna and passes into the miniature motor, actu- ating it Several demonstrations were offered in Washington recently ‘of the control of automobiles and a street car by radio. Thes>, of course, did not represent transmissions of energy. but merely wireless control of actuating devices. The Army and Navy have controlled | tank and ship movements by radio. John Hays Hammond, jr.. the radio in- ventor, several weeks ago obtained s patent on a system of radio control of | engine speeds. adaptable to metor cars or Jocomotives. He was the inventor of the torpedo direction control by radio.
