Radio-controlled boat. A mass-produced radio-controlled yacht. In 1898, Tesla demonstrated a radio-controlled boat ( U.S. patent 613,809 — Method of an Apparatus for Controlling Mechanism of Moving Vehicle or Vehicles ). A radio-controlled boat is a boat or ship model controlled remotely with radio control equipment.
Wave Radio. Wave Radio/CD. The "Wave Radio" (which has since become known as "Wave Radio I") was an AM/FM clock radio that was introduced in 1993. It was smaller than the Acoustic Wave Music System and used two 2.5-inch speakers. [3] A "Wave Radio/CD" model was introduced in 1998 and was essentially a Wave Radio I with a CD player.
Roughly resembling a small clock radio, the original Chumby features a small resistive touch-screen housed in a leather and plastic exterior with six color options. Power to the original Chumby and the Chumby 8 is supplied through an AC adapter. A later model, the Chumby One, also offered the option of a 9v backup battery.
WWVB is a time signal radio station near Fort Collins, Colorado and is operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). [1] Most radio-controlled clocks in North America [2] use WWVB's transmissions to set the correct time. The normally 70 kW ERP signal transmitted from WWVB uses a 60 kHz carrier wave derived from a set of ...
Telechron was an American company that manufactured electric clocks between 1912 and 1992. "Telechron" is derived from the Greek words tele, meaning "far off," and chronos, "time," thus referring to the transmission of time over long distances.

An electric boat is a powered watercraft driven by electric motors, which are powered by either on-board battery packs, solar panels or generators. [1] While a significant majority of water vessels are powered by diesel engines, with sail power and gasoline engines also popular, boats powered by electricity have been used for over 120 years.
Emerson Radio pioneered the Smartset clock radio which automatically sets itself with the correct time and date using a battery back-up oscillator time base to accurately set the clock's time when the alarm clock is powered-on and after a power outage.
