About the 'father' of electronics, Professor Sir John Ambrose Fleming

[@scratchdog2216]

Edison, Fleming, De Forest. Armstrong understood the effect and put it to work. Nice post. Thanx.

[@Couchflyer-NY]

Cool to see Fleming on film and the rest of the images too.

Thanks for this video. I believe it's important to note that Mr Fleming was a creationist that is he was reasonable enough to acknowledge that creatiON requires a CreatOR. Brilliant mind and strong believer in God of this universe.

[@mdesm2005]

who created the creator then ?

[@theodorekorehonen]

@mdesm2005 It was me! Got bored on a rainy Saturday afternoon

[@myriaddsystems]

Yeah but just not all the biblical crap about seven days etc. etc. though

[@w.knudsen5570]

Very interesting, thank you for your work in getting the info out.

Interesting bio of Fleming, but picture shown at 0:49 when talking about James Clark Maxwell, is not Maxwell. Man shown looks more like Samuel F.B. Morse, the inventor of Morse code and the telegraph. Maxwell died at the relatively young age of 48. Photo of man they put up as Maxwell is obviously much older. If you see photographs of Maxwell you can easily see this man is not him. Surprising that University College London, where Fleming himself was professor, can't get the right a photograph of discoverer of the principles of electromagnetic waves whose equations made possible modern electronics.

[@Kidderman2210]

I think you might be right.

I often wonder how easy this kind of thing is to do by mistake. I mean you're just putting a video together, trying to assign pictures to the right time in the dialogue, but if the picture isn't labeled, that's gonna be so easy to mix up.

Very interesting to learn more of how it all started. But it is hard to hear when there is that music in the background.

Thank you for this video

VERY GOOD CONTENT! ❤❤❤

Not a word about Lee De Forest who is the real inventor of the triode!

[@GH-oi2jf]

Pascal xavier - Of course not. It isn’t about de Forest.

[@sagartzoli]

Of course not. All about the british...

[@tonylasala2984]

Edison had patented a device that proved that electromagnetic waves passed through a vacuum. By placing a metal plate sealed inside the bulb that was connected to a galvanometer outside the bulb that was connected to the positive leading wire of the bulb, he was able to measure the change in the magnitude of the waves when he varied the electric current fed into the negative leading wire of an incandescent light bulb. This finding was called the Edison Effect. Fleming adapted this process to detect wireless Morse code signals. De Forest made the device practical by adding a third internal element called the grid that became the first vacuum tube.

And nothing about Nikola Tesla either, the inventer of the coherer, and 16 other patients that marconi was using of Tesla. Tesla invented the radio and AC power and polyphase induction motors. The rail gun, and a one way valve better then any today. Not to mention the Tesla coil and wireless power. And he had a tiny box that could shake and entire building to the ground in minutes.

muy buen reportaje, y saber de ese ingeniero... gracias

[@thomasspilcker8382]

Son Ian Fleming ?

Yo descubrí qué si a una tortilla caliente le pones limón y sal , la tortilla cambia de sabor .

[@luisfernandorojas8787]

Yo no entendí nada

[@TonyFisher-lo8hh]

Total confusion. Fleming's diode had no direct connection to de Forest's invention of the triode, and later elaborations of amplifying devices. It was a pure rectifier.

[@randallgoldapp9510]

Fleming just improved an existing technology. DeForest's triode was something completely new.

[@myriaddsystems]

But deForest was still clueless about the theory behind its working, it took Armstrong to figure that out

[@randallgoldapp9510]

@myriaddsystems true, but DeForest still was the guy who invented the triode, the most important invention of the 20th century.

[@simonbilling2796]

Tesla was ahead of his time, even the pyramids could have been electrical generators transmitting energy to that iron pillar in India?

[@joebuczek312]

What? No mention of Tesla, whose patents Marconi violated to "invent" radio. Shameful.

[@KairuHakubi]

Professor Sir John? That is so awkward... but Sir Professor John doesn't sound right either. I have never considered that anyone might bear both of those titles. I feel like knighthood is objectively more special due purely to rarity and leftover prestige from when it actually meant something, but you gotta work your ass off to be a professor and a lot of sirs couldn't do it.
