Show Frank Wyatt-Prentice, a Toronto electrical engineer, in an address before, the Central Railway club there gave some details of experiments which he declares demonstrate that electricity transmitted for power or commercial purposes by wireless really incrgases in velocity and powerihe'farther it goes from the point of origin. Discussing the commercial use of wireless power, Mr. Prentice suggested t hat for automobiles and motor trucks, receiving harps be placed on the machine and wave wires installed at intervals along the roadway, energy being drawn through the air to operate the machines. A flying machine with a small high-frequency high-frequency motor could, according to Mr. Prentice, fly at a height of 3,000 feet and draw sufficient power from a wave wire along the ground. |
