told how, when a teenager (in England), his father took him to see a mechanical TV receiver. The experimenter at the time powered the electronics from batteries, having no electric service; however, he had municipal running water, so he powered the scanning disk from a small water turbine attached to the faucet. Dixon said that the image was OK until something caused the pressure to change. |
