The present volume is a simple record of the pioneer work done in
such departments up to date, by Mr. Nikola Tesla, in whom the world
has already recognized one of the foremost of modern electrical
investigators and inventors. No attempt whatever has been made here
to emphasize the importance of his researches and discoveries.
Great ideas and real inventions win their own way, determining
their own place by intrinsic merit. But with the conviction that
Mr. Tesla is blazing a patli that electrical development must
follow for many years to come, the compiler has endeavored to bring
together all that bears the impress of Mr. Tesla's genius, and is
worthy of preservation. Aside from its value as showing the scope
of his inventions, this volume may be of service as indicating the
range of his thought. There is intellectual profit in studying the
push and play of a vigorous and original mind. Although the lively
interest of the public in Mr. Tesla's work is perhaps of recent
growth, this volume covers the results of full ten years. It
includes his lectures, miscellaneous articles and discussions, and
makes note of all his inventions thus far known, particularly those
bearing on polyphase motors and the effects obtained with currents
of high potential and high frequency. It will be seen that Mr.
Tesla has ever pressed forward, barely pausing for an instant to
work out in detail the utilizations that have at once been obvious
to him of the new principles he has elucidated. Wherever possible
his own language has been employed. It may be added that this
volume is issued with Mr. Tesla's sanction and approval, and that
permission has been obtained for the re-publication in it of such
papers as have been read before various technical societies of this
country and Europe. Mr. Tesla has kindly favored the author by
looking over the proof sheets of the sections embodying his latest
researches.
