Yesterday the Year Landell de Moura 2011 was released in São Paulo, Brazil.
The event, held at the Armando Álvares Penteado Foundation (FAAP) was part of a movement that demands the recognition of Brazilian priest Roberto Landell de Moura (1861-1928) as the inventor of the radio.
The invention is attributed to Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937), from Italy.
According to the Landell de Moura Movement, in 1899, the priest was able to realize the first transmission of the human voice by electromagnetic waves in the world. The emission, from Santana (a neighborhood in the Northern part of the city of São Paulo), was captured at Paulista Avenue, 8 km (around 4.97 miles) far from that neighborhood.
The accomplishment, registred by the Brazilian newspaper “O Estado de S.Paulo”, occurred 15 years before Marconi transmitted the human voice, in 1914.
Landell de Moura’s inventions were patented, but he died in obscurity. In 1904, he designed (but he didn’t implement) a wireless system for transmitting images (television).
In 2011, the movement will hold a series of events all over Brazil, like seminars and exhibitions, celebrating Landell de Moura’s 150th birtday. Yesterday’s meeting was coordinated by professor and journalist Álvaro Bufarah Júnior.
The information was published by journalist Daniel Castro in his blog on r7.com (here, in Portuguese).
