Gunglielmo Marconi Inventor of Radio

Biography of Gunglielmo Marconi

Early Life

Gunglielmo Marconi radio inventor of Radio was born in the year of 1874 on 25^th of April in Bologna, Italy. He was son of Giuseppe Marconi and Annie Jameson and his father was an Italian land owner. He got his early education from local school in Bologna and after that he studied further in Florence and Leghorn. His interest in physics and electronics started in very young age as he started to study the influential work of James clerk Maxwell. He studied books of some other scientists also which include the experimental studies of Heinrich Hertz and very authentic work by Sir Oliver Lodge on electricity and lightening.

Achievements

Marconi believed from very young age that sending voice or to communicate wirelessly through air to enough distance is possible. That is why he started experimentation personally at his father’s home in Pontecchio. After hard works of many months he succeeded in his experiment when he sent the voice for a distance of a one and a half kilometer. He started to work more consciously and intellectually to make it much better. He started simple experiments with reflectors in a way that they were surrounded by aerials to set the electrical energy concentration into a dense beam instead of flourishing and spreading it to every direction and everywhere.

Contributions

He was offered a patent for his work in 1896 that is why he moved to England to receive that patent to carry out his apparatus. He got this patent which is considered as the first patent of the world of wireless telegraphy ever received. He started his work in London and was succeeded in his experiment of sending voice to a certain distance through air as a medium. His influential work in this field led this field to new dimensions.

Inventor of Radio

Marconi invented an instrument which was named as wireless telegraph at that time and that was the world’s first simple radio. He set up a channel and tried to make more simple and working radio. After a couple of years, he was making to invent a formal and working radio which was able to receive voice through a long distance. Though this radio was big in size but it was the foundation of a new world. He set up a wireless link between England and France in 1899 through English Channel. He was honored by awarding the Noble prize in physics because of his remarkable invention.

Death

He worked for almost 30 years in the field of wireless telegraphy and launched his own company of wireless communication. He faced a serious heart attack in his final days of life and as a result died in year of 1937 on 20^th July in Rome.
