Rc Devices

Building, driving, and modifying RC car kits or other toys is a
popular hobby among RC enthusiasts. The RC Devices are a popular
hobby, and are a key component in a sport that involves
displaying the skill of the user in controlling the device
efficiently.

RC Devices, or remote controlled devices as they are
also called, are devices that are worked remotely from a
distance. The first demonstration of the remote controlling
activity was perhaps by Jagdish Chandra Bose when he ignited gun
powder and struck a gong from a distance using electromagnetic
radiation.

Tesla was the first to demonstrate a radio controlled ship
calling Teleautomata, using transmitter and receiver showing how
ships and mechanical gadgets can be controlled on a wireless
principle in 1898. He also constructed a wireless tower which
remained unfinished due to economic constraints. This showed the
farsightedness of Tesla. He laid the foundations for the RC
Devices that we have today.

American inventor Armstrong remarked about Tesla: "The world
will long have to wait for a mind equal to Tesla's, a mind of
such creative possibilities and such wealth of imagination."

The Radio Controlled Devices are commonly called RC Devices -
RC stands for Radio Controlled. In 1937 the first radio
controlled airplane was flown by Dr. William Good and his twin
brother Walter. Dr. William was a specialist in radios and
Walter made Aeromodels, and they combined them to create the RC
plane. Radio control had also been employed in WWII. In the
1960s, the availability of transistors revolutionized the
circuits and made them more compact and light.

Principle of the modern RC toys:

In the mid to late 60's, a British company named Mardave, based
in Leicester, began to produce the first commercially viable RC
Cars. Their first cars were Nitro or gas powered cars sold in
the local area in the early 70's. All such devices require a
transmitter with controls, a throttle trigger and the wheels for
turning. The receiver is placed in the body of the toy.

The models can be electric models as well as fuel models. The
electric models work with electrical speed control, and the fuel
control systems utilize the radio control mechanisms to regulate
the fuel input and the such.

The radio controlled models can be toy grade or hobby grade.
The toy grade devices are available in retail shops, and are
available at a far lesser price. They are ready made assembled
models, and usually utilize electric power. Hobby grade models
are available at a greater cost but are more durable and
serviceable. They usually require assembly, and most often run
on gasoline or nitro.

These RC Cars are also used in races, and the cars or toys used
in the races should confirm to the specifications. The RC
Devices can be varied, and include cars, boats, airplanes,
helicopters and robotics.

The small robots, cars and toys are usually for indoor play.
Robotics combined with radio control technology is frequently
seen in the international robotics contests held annually in
Japan and other countries. Robotics are another hobby, which are
even more interesting when combined with radio controlled or
remote controlled toys.

The uses for RC Devices are limitless, and cars only scratch
the surface. In reality, there are hundreds of different ways
that you can enjoy RC Devices.
