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.
CONTENTS
Chapter 1: My Early Life -The progressive development of man is
vitally dependent on invention. It is the most important product of
his creative brain. Its ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of
mind over the material world, the harnessing of the forces of
nature to human needs.
Chapter 2: -I shall dwell briefly on these extraordinary
experiences, on account of their possible interest to students of
psychology and physiology and also because this period of agony was
of the greatest consequence on my mental development and subsequent
labors.
Chapter 3: How Tesla Conceived The Rotary Magnetic Field -At the
age of ten I entered the Real Gymnasium which was a new and fairly
well equipped institution. In the department of physics were
various models of classical scientific apparatus, electrical and
mechanical. The demonstrations and experiments performed from time
to time by the instructors fascinated me and were undoubtedly a
powerful incentive to invention.
Chapter 4: The Discovery of the Tesla Coil and Transformer -For
a while I gave myself up entirely to the intense enjoyment of
picturing machines and devising new forms. It was a mental state of
happiness about as complete as I have ever known in life. Ideas
came in an uninterrupted stream and the only difficulty I had was
to hold them fast.
Chapter 5: -As I review the events of my past life I realize how
subtle are the influences that shape our destinies. An incident of
my youth may serve to illustrate.
Chapter 6: -No subject to which I have ever devoted myself has
called for such concentration of mind, and strained to so dangerous
a degree the finest fibers of my brain, as the systems of which the
magnifying transmitter is the foundation.
