ADVANCE NEW THEORY


worlds greatest electrical engineers,
this country has lacked first class
radio engineer, and the newly discov-
cred man might have plodded on I'M
known to the world had not news
paper man stumbled on him.
In an abcure part of Kenosha, Wis
consin, way back in the woods on the
west side Of the city, there live two
electro-radio experts. These men
have toiled away for four years, try
ing to perfect radio set that would
do away with the necessity of aerials,
and that would give very clear sig
nails, high selectivity, and that would
use up low battery consumption.
Their work was rewarded with splen-
did success. They have applied for
patents on a four tube set that can
dispense with either aerial or ground
for a distance of 20 miles-so that
you could hear it six blocks away If
you had it in your automobile; that
you can get as far as 1000 miles with
a. ground connection and no aerial;
that will get 1900 to 1900 miles with
loop aerial; and with an ordinary
aerial, you can get coast to coast

Would Eliminate Squeaks.
The advantage of getting music
without an aerial, of course, means
that you get it without the squeal-
with an entire @ absence Of static.
With their machine, which they call
the Oriole, you can drive along the
street and tune in to station many
miles off and get the volume so loud
and clear that pedestrians will won
der where the music is coming from.
In tests. recently made at Wilmette,
suburb of Chicago, the volume was
so great that one could hear the Oriole
radio six blocks away-and that, mind
you, without even aerial or ground.
Mark Kindt and Anthony WHITTIER
are the two men who have worked SO
patiently for four years. Both are
radio experts, although Kindt is the
philosopher and theorist. He has dug
so deep into the mysteries of radio
that he is now ready to give to the
world some startling revelations. His
theories smash all hitherto accepted
theories regarding the so-called "ether
waves" Kindt says:
Explains Radio Ether.
"As has been hitherto generally
thought by scientists and engineers,
radio has been supposed to travel
through a medium called ether, re-
CARELESS of the fact that the necessary
properties of such an imaginary me-
dunn max cit ridiculous. For instance,
/ it is supposed to have 100000 times
the rigidity of the hardest known
tool-steel, and at the same time, must
permit of material objects to pass
through it without resistance"
Kindt's theory is that radio travels
through the aid of the earth's mag
netism, and without this magnetism
your radio waves cease.
Experiments were carried ON for
some time to prove this theory. For
instance, it was noticed at Waukegan
that when they passed under a steel
viaduct, the music ceased instantly
Also, in passing by the big iron gas
tank at Waukegan, the sound waves
were arrested, thus proving that the
iron arrested the magnetic waves, or
currents. Just as the magnet draws
the needle of the compass, so iron
or steel will attract radio waves, prov
ing conclusively, according to Kindt,
| that magnetism is the secret power
behind radio.
Explains His Theories.
at is a generally known fact in
electric science," says Kindt as he
describes his theories more techni-
cally, "that-a current passing through
wire sets up a magnetic field sur
rounding that wire. The new explana-
Ition says (Kindt's theory that the
rapidly oscillating magnetism spread
ling from the transmitting aerial, pro-
duces in the earth's magnetism dis
tortions exactly corresponding in form
to the currents sent into the aerial
/ by the transmitting apparatus. These
the speed of light. 1t is also a gem
orally known fact that when a mag
netic held is caused to vary around a
conductor, an electrical current is set
Sup in that conductor. Therefore, says
the new theory (the Kindt theory,
when these magnetic distortions pass
through your receiving aerial, they set
up in your aerial minute currents ex-
actly corresponding to those sent into
the transmitting aerial. This explana-
ton is very simple and sensible, and
one can readily see that it at once
explains such phenomena as fading"
dead spots" and particularly does it
explain why an efficient aerial gives
results thousands of times in excess
of those obtained with small loops,
and so forth.
Believe Radio Secret Solved.
From this theory" concluded Mr..
Kindt, at is apparent that the more
of the earth's magnetism that you in
tercept with your aerial, the stronger
the signal becomes, and the longer the
distance you receive"
And so Kindt and his partner are
working away in small shed for the
present, but let their "Oriole" radio
set be known to the world and it will
take a large plant to take care of
production. Radio fans will flock to
their doors, for the simple reason, they
have the secrets of radio solved, and
solved so that their set proves their
| theory correct.
