[edit] Idvorski?

He is best known as Mihajlo Pupin. I don't see the reason for putting "Idvorski" as well. --Filip (§) 23:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Me neither. WP:COMMONNAME makes it clear with the example that an article should be named "Tony Blair (not Anthony Charles Lynton Blair)" Jim.henderson 21:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

In the USA he was known as Michael Idvorsky Pupin. Pupin himself insisted on that middle name, which he added to his full name himself, because it signified the place of his birth. Marechiel 00:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Loading Coil

The article links "Pupin Coil" to Loading coil, however the patent cited describes a transformer which is not distributed over the line. Pupins idea was to distribute capacitors in series with the line. I have no idea how effective this would be, but what I do know is that it would have exactly the opposite effect to loading coils as far as the lossless condition is concerned. Loading coils were invented by Oliver Heaviside, not by Pupin. SpinningSpark 01:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
