Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was an eccentric and reclusive Serbian-American inventor, electrical and mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his lifelong feud with Thomas Edison, pioneering wireless technology, and his many contributions to the design of modern alternating current (AC) electricity. His autobiography My Inventions, originally serialized in six parts in the monthly tech magazine Electrical Experimenter in 1919, finds the famous inventor recalling his formative years and expounding on his major discoveries and inventions - including the rotating magnetic field, the magnifying transmitter, and the Tesla coil - before ending with a rumination on the failure of his Wardenclyffe Tower, and eye-opening explanations of weather manipulation and (what a modern reader can only describe as) UFO technology This volume also includes nine additional articles, six of which Tesla penned for EE that same year.

Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer and futurist who changed the scientific fields of electricity and magnetism forever. Tesla's major discoveries and innovations include the rotating magnetic field, magnifying transmitter and Tesla coil. His research laid much of the groundwork for modern electrical system, and the alternating current powers almost all of the technological wonders in the world. This is the little-known story of Tesla's pursuit of the electric motor, which the experts had claimed could never be built. On a quest into the depths of his unconscious mind, which nearly cost him his life, Tesla changed the way of the world.

Nikola Tesla is the true unsung prophet of the electric age, without whom our radio, auto ignition, telephone, television, and alternating current power generation and transmission would all have been impossible. Yet his life and times have vanished largely from public access. This autobiography is released to remedy this situation, and to understand the life and the mind of Nikola Tesla.

Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency was a lecture delivered by Nikola Tesla before the Institution of Electrical Engineers in London. Alternate Current was in large part created and perfected by Tesla, who proved it to be a more effective means of transmitting power than Direct Current. This book is an important part of the history of power generation because it outlines Tesla's work up to that time and shows exactly how this revolutionary new system began and how it works. This book allows us into the mind of the genius who first created it. Tesla's ideas and his inventions were absolutely real and legitimate. They revolutionized the world and many of his ideas, which were ahead of his time, could continue to do so well into the future. Every electricity lover should read this book.

First published in February 1919, 'My Inventions' is an enlightening autobiographical account of Nikola Tesla, written at the age of 63. One of the most important technological innovators of the modern industrial age, Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor and engineer who discovered and patented the rotating magnetic field, the root of most alternating-current machinery. He also originated the three-phase system of electric power transmission. He immigrated to the United States in 1884 and sold the patent rights of his system of alternating-current dynamos, transformers, and motors to George Westinghouse. In 1891 he invented the 'Tesla coil', an induction coil widely used in radio technology. This firsthand account reveals the captivating life of a genius. Well-known for the radio, robotics, and wireless energy, Tesla quickly gained international fame for his pioneering inventions. The content of the book was largely drawn from a series of articles that Nikola Tesla had written for Electrical Experimenter magazine. It is a fascinating window into the principles and practices of Tesla's singular world. Here we witness the art and science behind the conception, execution, and reception of Tesla's most famous inventions. In this personal account, Tesla tells about his life, how his inventions came to him, and even how his inventions helped save his life. He tells his encounters with famous people, his brushes with death, which happened more than once, and also about some future ideas. CONTENTS: 1. My Early Life 2. Extraordinary Experiences 3. The Rotary Magnetic Field 4. Tesla Coil and Transformer 5. The Influences that Shape Our Destiny 6. The Magnifying Transmitter

Matkalla Marsiin -kirjaan on koottu aiemmin suomentamattomia kirjoituksia, joissa Nikola Tesla esittelee mullistavia keksintöjään sekä ajatuksiaan ihmiskunnan tulevaisuudesta ja avaruusmatkailusta. Monet Teslan ennustuksista ovat nykyään arkista todellisuutta, mutta toteutuvatko loputkin keksijäneron korkealentoisista kuvitelmista?
