Australia and used it in the timely and cost-effective establishment of a wide network of coastal radio stations around Australia over only two years during the period 1911 to 1913. That network provided great protection for the new nation during World War I, enabling co-ordination of its naval fleet while operating in Australian and nearby waters. But as is the case for many inventive geniuses, he is remembered more for his failings and controversies than his successes. His earlier invention of the Balsillie system of wireless was deemed an infringement of one of Marconi's patents. He successfully defended his patents for the Australian system of wireless against further action by Marconi, only to have the invention claimed by another Australian wireless pioneer (which claim was never tested in the courts). His experiments in rainmaking by wireless we see with a century of hindsight as foolish and invoked derision for himself and embarrassment for his supporters, permanently tainting his legacy. But barely a decade prior, wireless itself was viewed as almost magic. His early passing precluded further development of inventions. The takeover of the coastal radio network by Amalgamated Wireless (Australasia) ultimately led to a suppression of Balsillie's pioneering role.

Brain (Electrical Engineer New South Wales Tramways), and Corin (Electrical Engineer New South Wales Public Works Department). Balsillie travelled to Sydney in August 1915 and provided a limited laboratory demonstration of his equipment and process to the committee. Balsillie's employment with the Australian Government concluded in December 1915. The committee initially lent some cautious support to the project, but in December 1915 made known its negative preliminary findings and recommendation for further investigations to be undertaken. In March 1916 the committee was seeking further input from
297:. Following questions on notice in the House of Representatives in March 1920, Balsillie's Hopetoun outcomes report dated 18 June 1919 was tabled. The report indicated that modest increased rainfall had been achieved from his experiments. The newly established Department of Science and Industry was tasked in August 1920 to investigate further the Balsillie experiments which supported the labelling of the Hughes government as spendthrift. It was also confirmed that as part of the funding for the Balsillie experiments, the Government was to receive royalty free use of the associated patents. In August 1923, in response to a further question on notice, the Government advised that a total of ÂŖ6,000 had been expended in the experiments.

Regardless, with Federal Government financial support, Balsillie had commenced wider experiments at Bookaloo Station northwest of Port Augusta, South Australia on the trans-Continental railway line and in June 1916 reported further limited success. Balsillie's continuing rainmaking experiments and use of public money for the purpose by June 1919 drew public ridicule and parallels to

The Federal Government still intended to have the question tested, but encountered difficulty in securing the services of a judge.
