average man can conceive, is march
ing to accomplishment.
The movement has begun In the
laboratories of the world and is speed
ing forward with incredible swiftness.
As time is measured, it will be but
little space before the revolution has
been accomplished-perhaps a few
years; possibly within a generation.
Scientists see the vision with clear
certainty. They know by experience
and experiment that the era of wire
less power is near at hand. They
foresee the day when the world will
move and work and play by means of
electrical energy distributed by NAM
moth wireless power stations.
RADIO FOR EVERYTHING.
They foresee nations served by a
series of stations each a square mile
or so in area, which provide by radio
the power for everything.
Factories will have no furnaces.
Trains will need no locomotives. Mo
tor cars and wagons, airplanes and
airships will be engineless. Homes
will hold no drudgery. The machin-
cry of industry, of transport and OF
domestic work will move under the
power which is matter as follows:
Professor A. NJ. Low, world
wide authority on electrical energy,
tells of the progress the world is
making in experiments with wireless
power. Professor Low discusses the
matter as follows:
Power by wireless is destined to
alter the whole face of the civilized
globe.
st only remains for the true meth
cd of selection, the true method OF
wave conversion to be discovered. for
us to achieve the transmission of &C
tual power by wireless.
Think what would be the result
were we able to broadcast power.
We can already do so today on a
small scale.
POWER FROM NORWAY.
at already has been suggested in
official circles that when the day
of wireless power transmission ar
rives Great Britain may be able to
draw cheap power from the water
falls and courses of Norway.
1T already has been foreseen that
the international aspect of this oucs.
ton will be almost revolutionary. By
what means shall we prevent tapping
of the power ON the way, and what
will it mean to this world when fac.
tories need no longer be built near
fuel ground and when countries too
cold to be productive can be fed with
heat and power by wireless, like wa
ter to a desert land?
''In the house of the future we shall
have powerreceiving aerials built in.
We shall have light sent to us by
wireless, we shall have electrical pow
er available to relieve domestic duties
Of their present drudgery.
Labor reduction in its truest sense
will be possible. Our dwindling coal
fields will not alarm us.
AUTOS RUN BY RADIO.
"Motor cars will travel on the high
roads under the motive power which
they gather from the broadcast sta
tons through receiving appliances
which take no more space than a
square foot on the body of the car.
Railways will operate in the same
way. Aerial and ocean navigation will
move by the broadcast power.
1--WE shall, naturally, advance by
stages. Before the actual age comes
when we are able. through the unaid-
cd ether. % transmit energy, we shall
probably be able to transmit for a few
yards only. from specially prepared
cable systems.
"All over the country n network OF
cables might be laid which would ra-
date power to silent. electrically OPP
Grated motor cars on the road through
meters hired from the broadcasting
stations.
"The problems Of housekeeping
would largely be solved. Today we
cannot use the many American labor
saving devices. which are available
only to the rich. The power is too ex.
pensiye. the coal to produce that pow
err is too costly. simply because the
transmission of that energy Is grossly
