MC,

You fool. To garner the fat one's interest you should mention the magnetron
is the most used device for cooking food (if you consider it "cooking").
Mention it is the quickest and most efficient for heating quantities of
food.

The first reporter observation of radar effects (radio ranging) occured in
the 1890's in Colorado Springs, Colorado. With the same principles, the
Schumann resonances of the earth were first discovered and measured.

Bwhahahahha. Who built the first radar array? Did the US even have an
array?

Actually it was a mix of truth and fiction. Several aircraft crashed at
high speed because the controls did not work properly (they didn't have
the fully rotating tail invented by the British). It is possible that
someone might have survived a loss of control incident by pushing the
stick forward...

No, I don't recall seeing one. But I did spend a lot of time in the "temporary buildings"
that housed the old RadLab - they were finally torn down a few years ago.

This reminds of the 1952 British movie "The Sound Barrier" which sort of claims that
Geoffrey de Havilland broke the sound barrier by "reversing the controls." In Chuck
Yeager's words it was "utter shuck from start to finish."

I'd say that supports exactly what I've been saying. Given the timing, it

was certainly a

huge improvement, but it was one of many necessary to create a workable

system. Your link

makes it sound like they invented the cavity magnetron, which is certainly

not true. And

don't forget, at this point in time, the US wasn't even in the war. We

were spending

billions of dollars developing Radar to save Britain.

I bet that you've seen a Hollywood movie about it???

1940? I don't think so, the US didn't have a working cavity magnetron
until it was taken there!

In 1940 the American technology was the equal of the British for the longer 1 meter
wavelength. But they were not deployed in the same numbers as the British.

I'm not saying the British were not major players in this field. But you implied that
Radar would not have existed without the British - this is clearly a myth!

How about this;

Boston 1873:

A man about forty-six years of age, giving the name of Joshua
Coppersmith, has been arrested in New York for attempting to extort
funds from ignorant and superstitious people by exhibiting a device
which he says will convey the human voice over metallic wires, so that
it will be heard by the listener at the other end. He calls the
instrument a "telephone", which is obviously intended to imitate the
word "telegraph", and win the confidence of those who know of the
success of the latter instrument without understanding the principles on
which it is based. Well-informed people know that it is impossible to
transmit the human voice over wires as may be done with dots and dashes
and signals of the Morse Code, and that were it possible to do so, the
thing would be of no practical value. The authorities who apprehended
this criminal are to be congratulated, and it is to be hoped that it may
serve as an example to other conscienceless schemers who enrich
themselves at the expense of their fellow creatures.

As far as I know, the brits did invent the cavity magnetron. Many ppl
think that the atom bomb was the most significant hi-tech invention
during ww2 but it was really the cavity magnetron which really made
radar (and micro-wave ovens) practical.

HOWEVER, I will sorta put up two quotes from the eminent brit
physicist Lord Kelvin of the 1890's.

"These so-called X-rays will be shown to be a fraud"
this is my fav since I make x-ray optics.

Kelvin also reccomended that young men not enter physics as "all
important physics has been done except for a few minor problems in
electromagnetic theory" (or something like that). It was those few
problems in E&M theory that led to relativity theory (Equations for
E&M waves were not invariant under Galilean transformation. Einstein
used the Lorentz transform that had been suggested to explain the
Michelson Morley experiment to make them invariant).

In both cases, the Brit (Kelvin) was trumped by Germans. Kelvin was
still one of the greats, in spite of being wrong.

Now, how does this apply to sailing?

Riiiiiiight.

Do you have those X-ray specs, too? I've got some, and I've tried
wearing them at Hooters, but everything is just blurry, and I get a
headache. I don't think they really work.

Keep trying.

That'll be a side effect of your oogle neuron engaging and sucking the
