Nikola Tesla

Die Geschichte wird von den Siegern geschrieben. Aber dies ist kein Trost f r diejenigen, deren Name von der Feder des Verlegers herausgestrichen wurde. Viele Jahre lang haben die wissenschaftlichen Lehrb cher Elektrizit t und Licht mit einem einzigen Mann, Thomas Edison, gleichgesetzt, w hrend der Name des Genies, dessen elektrische Techniken die heutige Welt speisen, in einer unbedeutenden Notiz am Rande der Geschichte der Wissenschaft verk mmerte. Vor Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts war Elektrizit t ein rein wissenschaftliches Kuriosum. Nikola Tesla hat dies wohl mehr als jeder Andere ge ndert. Aber Teslas Nachforschungen ber die Elektrizit t stellen nur einen kleinen Teil seiner wissenschaftlichen und technischen Errungenschaften dar, die ihm den Titel des Genies einbrachten. "Nikola Tesla: Mein Leben, Meine Forschung" besteht aus vier Teilen: eine Einf hrung zu Teslas Leben, Teslas Autobiografie, einige von Teslas wichtigsten Arbeiten, in einfachen Worten erkl rt, und eine hundert Seiten umfassende Sammlung seltener Fotografien, die in mehreren Lebensabschnitten Teslas aufgenommen wurden, von seiner Geburtsurkunde ber die erste mit phosphoreszierendem Licht geschossene Fotografie bis hin zum letzten Foto, kurz vor seinem Tod, im Jahre 1943. Ein Band: 362 Seiten.

La historia es escrita por los vencedores. Pero no es confort suficiente para los que han sido eliminados por las plumas de los editores. Durante a os, los manuales cient ficos han asociado la electricidad y la luz a un solo hombre, Thomas Edison, mientras que el nombre del genio de las tecnolog as el ctricas que alimentan el mundo moderno permanece olvidado en un peque o rinc n de la historia de la ciencia. Antes de comenzar el siglo XX, la electricidad era una simple inquietud cient fica m s. Fue Nikola Tesla, sin duda m s que ning n otro, el que cambi esta perspectiva. Pero las investigaciones de Tesla sobre la electricidad solo representan una parte de las innovaciones cient ficas y t cnicas que lo han elevado a la categor a de genio. Nikola Tesla: Mi Vida, Mi Investigaci n presenta cuatro partes: Una introducci n de la vida de Tesla, la autobiograf a de Tesla, algunos de los trabajos m s importantes de Tesla explicados de forma sencilla y una colecci n de cien p ginas con fotograf as poco conocidas realizadas en diferentes etapas de la vida de Tesla. Estas van desde su partida de nacimiento hasta una ltima fotograf a suya antes de su muerte en 1943, pasando por la primera fotograf a realizada con luz fosforescente. Nota del publicista para la edici n impresa: con el fin de hacer la lectura m s disfrutable este libro se imprimi en formato 15 x 23cm (6"x9"). Asimismo el papel se eligi color crema el cual causa menos fatiga a los ojos que el papel blanco.

Sus comentarios son siempre bienvenidos a la direcci n electr nica discoverypublisher.com/es/ - Gracias por elegir Discovery Publisher.

Nikola Tesla's accomplishments are today still underrated. While Edison is credited with being the inventor of the light bulb, it is Tesla's alternating current that powers much of the world. Likewise, while Guglielmo Marconi is popularly credited with inventing the radio, Tesla's work was instrumental in its development. In fact, the Supreme Court overturned Marconi's patent in 1943, crediting Tesla with being the first to patent radio technology. Tesla used his eponymous Tesla Coil, a high frequency transformer, as the basis for experiments in electrical lighting, x-rays, phosphorescence, electro-therapy, and the wireless transmission of electric energy. He is also credited with inventing the fluorescent bulb and neon light, as well as the spark plug for internal combustion engines. Tesla provided the basis for radar, the electron microscope, and microwave ovens. He even dabbled in robotics, far ahead of his time. Selected Tesla Writings is a collection of scientific papers and articles from the work of one of the greatest geniuses of all time.

History is written by the victors. But that is no comfort to those crossed out by the editor's pen. For years, science textbooks equated electricity and light with one man, Thomas Edison, while the genius whose pioneering electrical technologies truly power the modern world languished as a minor note in scientific history. Before the turn of the 20th century, electricity remained a mere scientific curiosity. Nikola Tesla, arguably more than anyone else, changed that. But Nikola's pioneering research in electricity represents only a portion of the scientific and technical innovations that elevated him to science godhood. Tesla not only expanded and revolutionized the work of his predecessors, he also leapfrogged ahead of his contemporaries to the next step. Nikola Tesla: My Life, My Research has three parts: Tesla's autobiography; Tesla's major research programs explained in simple words; and an eighty-page collection of rare photographs taken at several stages of Tesla's life; from his birth certificate, to the first photograph ever taken by phosphorescent light, to the last known photograph before Tesla's death, in 1943. One volume: 336 pages.

Dive into the mind of Nikola Tesla! Written in his own words, this Nikola Tesla book features the lectures, illustrations, and other works that established Tesla as one of history’s great geniuses. During the early twentieth century, the eccentric and brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla blazed the path that electrical development followed for many years to come. This fascinating illustrated record of Tesla’s pioneering work gathers many of his most famous findings and theories, allowing contemporary readers to experience the amazing range of his thinking. It includes lectures, articles, and discussions—particularly those bearing on polyphase motors and the effects obtained with currents of high potential and high frequency—and gives us a rare glimpse of a genius at work. A fascinating look at Tesla’s contributions to the history of electricity, including the electric motor that inspired Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors. Filled with Tesla facts and diagrams of his groundbreaking work, this is the perfect book for anyone searching for a Tesla biography focused on his scientific discoveries.

Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 - 7 January 1943) was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Tesla's achievements and his abilities as a showman demonstrating his seemingly miraculous inventions made him world-famous. Although he made a considerable amount of money from his patents, he spent a lot financing his own projects. He lived for most of his life in a series of New York hotels although the end of his patent income and eventual bankruptcy led him to live in diminished circumstances. Tesla's work fell into relative obscurity after his death, but since the 1990s, his reputation has experienced a resurgence in popular culture. His work and reputed inventions are also at the center of many conspiracy theories and have also been used to support various pseudosciences, UFO theories and New Age occultism. In 1960, in honor of Tesla, the General Conference on Weights and Measures for the International System of Units dedicated the term "tesla" to the SI unit measure for magnetic field strength.

""The Problem of Increasing Human Energy"" is a collection of lectures and articles written by Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest inventors and scientists of the 20th century. In this book, Tesla explores the concept of energy and how it can be harnessed to improve the lives of humanity. He discusses his ideas on the use of alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind power, and the potential of wireless communication. Tesla also delves into the importance of scientific research and experimentation, and the need for collaboration between scientists and engineers to solve the problems facing humanity. This book is a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most innovative and visionary thinkers of all time, and a must-read for anyone interested in science, technology, and the future of our planet.

Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 - 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, and futurist. He is best known for his contributions to the modern alternating current (AC) electrical supply system. Tesla's patents and theoretical work helped form the basis of wireless communication and radio. His many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism were based on Michael Faraday's theories of electromagnetic technology. Born to Serbian parents in the village of Smiljan (now in Croatia), Tesla was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen. Because of his 1894 demonstration of short range wireless communication through radio and his contributions to the development of alternating current, the successful system in the "War of Currents", he is widely respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers who worked in America. This book, Tesla's autobiography, was first published as a six-part 1919 series in the Electrical Experimenter magazine, in the February - June, and October issues in 1919, at which time Tesla was 63 years old.

Nikola Tesla's life is as interesting for his idiosyncrasy as it is for his brilliance. The inventor's mind knew no limits and his incredible sense of possibility rings through his memoir. This authorative volume of My Inventions includes three additional articles by Tesla which were published in The Electrical Experimenter magazine and represent the breadth of his interests: 'Tesla would pour Lightning from Airships to Consume Foe' (1916), 'The Action of The Eye' (1893), 'The Problem of Increasing Human Energy' (1900). Samantha Hunt, author of The Invention of Everything Else, contributes an introduction to Tesla's works, separating fact from fiction (there are published works out there that attest Tesla was an alien), while maintaining the natural awe of Tesla's eccentric existence.

Authored by Nikola Tesla Consultant editor Timothy Green Beckley, William Kern NIKOLA TESLA - A WIZARD OUT OF TIME THIS WORK IS FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR WHO WISH TO OWN RARE COPIES OF THIS "MIRACLE MAN'S" MOST IMPORTANT PATENTS AND INVENTIONS During his lifetime Nikola Tesla was issued several hundred patents from over 25 countries. And while chosen to share the 1912 Nobel Prize with Thomas Edison, Tesla simply ripped up his royalty contracts, saying goodbye to millions of dollars that he justifiably had coming to him. To this date, Tesla is not mentioned in most textbooks and is virtually unknown to most Americans, though the tide has been turning in recent years. Tesla actually invented the first AC electric motor, invented the radio (he proceeded Marconi by several years), and the arc light, broadcast the first television signals, and even created an earthquake that virtually rocked Manhattan. The device which shook buildings and shattered windows for miles was an apparatus so small it could be placed in a person's pocket. Later, before his passing, Tesla stated that this device was so powerful it could prevent another World War. The large sized, 8.5x11 volume is richly illustrated and contains the patents that many claim have been withheld from the public. Some technicians still don't know what to make of a number of his inventions. Can you help crack any hidden "codes" that may be found in his remaining research papers?
