Philo T. Farnsworth was my mother's second cousin. I never met Philo, but I did meet his widow once at a family party.

[@TheNameOfJesus]

My seventh cousin, and I'm not kidding when I say this, is married to Matt Groening. According to research published online, which you can google yourself, the number of 7th cousins everyone has is roughly 120,000. So even though I never reveal my identity, this fact narrows down my identity to about 120,000 people.

Why is this so underrated? The invention stories you share are fascinating and well presented. It's a shame more people aren't discovering your content! Keep up the great work!

[@SchmitzProductions-1]

Thank you very much Maker Mac70.

My dad worked for Capehart-Farnsworth in the '50s. We had a blonde finished C-F console tv on a dais he built in the corner of the livingroom. We also had a beam antenna on a 40' mast. Living 29 mi. north of Ft. Wayne IN we could recieve stations in Chicago, Detroit, Ft. Wayne.... until a storm took the big antenna down. Capehart-Farnswoth was acquired by International Telephone and Telegraph to do secure govt work including high-speed film developing equipment to process photo reconnaisance images from air and spacecraft. Philo's later projects included the phasor which could initiate a plasma that could persist several minutes. It was thought such a plasma could be a power source and the project was acquired by a Utah university and Philo was shut out. As Philo's system was used to televise the Berlin olympic games (I think) he made some adversaries in the US govt. It's my understanding the RCA lawsuits continued til '53 when although winning the suit Farnsworth's heakth was failing. Thank you for this informative video.

Nice informative video! Even though I'm an old-timer I had no idea of TV tech being researched back in like 1883(!) However, I did see where a fax machine concept was developed & produced results ~100+ years earlier. Amazing how smart our species can be...sometimes. ;-)

Your video and research are exemplary. The problem is that, as an autistic person, what you think of as background music is foreground for someone like me. It is so distracting; I had to turn off the audio. And we all know how inaccurate the "auto-generated" subtitles are. If you want to imagine what it's like, think of trying to listen to your narration in one ear while having someone standing next to your other ear going, "BAP BAP, BOOP, BOOP, BAP BAP, BOOP BOOP" the ENTIRE time! Would you consider having intro and outro music but no music while you are narrating? I love your videos and want to enjoy them along with everyone else. Thank you!

[@PacoOtis]

Excellent!

[@andymouse]

Awesome work !

[@mrrolandlawrence]

and also why Futurama grandpa scientist is also Farnsworth.

[@AnnoyedDriver]

When they realized they could influence us with programs...

[@kcstafford2784]

actually they learned that with the printing press and village news print...ironic????

[@martinlintzgy1361]

The EMI-Marconi high definition system described and solved the issue of synchronizing of the transmitted and received images, by means of generating very clever pulses, and ensuring the synch pulses were masked during line and frame flyback, giving a really high quality image.

[@joevignolor4u949]

@@martinlintzgy1361 It isn't just a matter of putting the dots on the screen and moving them back and forth and up and down, you also have to be sure they end up at the right place at the right time. I remember thinking that when watching a nationally televised TV program on an analog TV, there were millions of other TV sets out there with their electron beams all pointed to the exact same spot on their screens as on my TV.

[@indigohammer5732]

Who? Elaborate.

[@boblordylordyhowie]

Inventions are either the creation of one mind or an accumulation of inventions

[@jthunders]

Wasnt it also Sarnoff who tanked FM (Armstrong) until the 1960s

[@TheSteveBoyd]

Fun fact: Many years later, a direct descendant of Philo Farnsworth's would go on to pioneer such revolutionary inventions as the Smelloscope and the Finglonger.

[@jeffbrinkerhoff5121]

Good News Everyone!

[@Liam_D]

And the first robot capable of qualifying for a boat loan!

[@TheSteveBoyd]

Philo Farnsworth.

[@Penrodyn]

Difficult to concentrate with the background music

[@clinthowe7629]

Poor old Farnsworth, i was glad to hear that Sarnov had to start paying him royalties. too bad WW2 came along.

[@TheReal1953]

Terrible twist of fate for Philo.

[@kcstafford2784]

tho I don't like the background music or the AI BS.. I like your work

[@jeffrenman4146]

I can't help but notice the disease in their minds I'm talking about the big-time CEOs like David Sarnoff he's already Was a multi-millionaire just from radio but notice how these people that are rich will fight to become richer. And as a kid I knew this and wondered what the future would be like well it's here today companies are so big they dictate to governments

[@YKLWEF]

Couldn't take more than three minutes of that irritating "music" in the background.

[@jthunders]

Yeah that's pretty bad

[@TheReal1953]

Yeah, it was Philo Taylor Farnsworth who undoubtedly transferred the first live image in the US to the public. No spinning discs, but fully electronic. And as with most genius inventors back in the day, he was totally screwed considering what television became. Dirty deals abounded to defeat Farnsworth.

[@Vassilika1]

Nice Video, but the so called "Artistic Representation" AI generated pictures are a no go. 😕

[@mikehunt8375]

Get drawing then, stop talking about it and be about it. You done yet? Put the chips down and do something with yourself....

[@ssokolow]

@@mikehunt8375 I'd have preferred lingering longer on diagrams or actual stock footage too, but, hey, at least they're visibly not photorealistic. Those are the MOST misleading.
