I don’t think Tesla attempted to apply his work to guided weapons systems though I could be wrong and will look into that. As far as bio’s, “Hedy’s Folly: The Life and Breakthrough Inventions of Hedy Lamarr, the Most Beautiful Woman in the World”. Very cool read. She was given the National Medal of Technology by Clinton as I recall.
Thanks! Can’t wait to read it!
Tesla was working with remotely guided boats and torpedoes in 1898. There’s a lot covered in the Cheney book, which I heartily recommend! There are so many quotes from that book,,,,,
“His first two radio-controlled devices were boats, and one was submersible.”
“Tesla was not transmitting messages in any known language. Nevertheless, he was employing his own coded pulses via Hertzian waves to directly control this pioneer unmanned craft.”
“What his patents included,(snip) were specifications for a torpedo boat without a crew,” Freakin’ 1898!
