The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla is the
definitive record of the pioneering work of one of the modern
world's most groundbreaking inventors. During the early twentieth
century, Tesla blazed the trail that electrical technology followed
for decades afterward. Although he pioneered inventions like
alternating current (AC), radio, wireless transmission, and X-rays,
and worked with innovators like George Westinghouse and Thomas
Edison, the once-celebrated Tesla was later largely forgotten by
history. This beautiful leatherbound edition brings together many
of the findings and theories that made this genius famous (and to
some, infamous), showing not only the scope of Nikola Tesla's
theories and inventions, but allowing contemporary readers to
experience the visionary range of his thinking. In addition to its
many detailed reproductions of Tesla's patents and inventions, this
highly collectible book includes dozens of thought-provoking
lectures and articles. The Inventions, Researches and Writings of
Nikola Tesla affords a rare glimpse of a true genius at work.
History buffs, science enthusiasts, backyard inventors, and anyone
who has ever dared to dream big will find the life of Nikola Tesla,
written in his own words, engaging, informative, and humorous in
its eccentricity.Serbian inventor NIKOLA TESLA (1857-1943) was a
revolutionary scientist who forever changed the scientific fields
of electricity and magnetism. Tesla's greatest invention, A/C
current, powers almost all of the technological wonders in the
world today, from home heating to computers to high-tech robotics.
His discoveries gave mankind the television. And his dream of
wireless communication came to pass in both the radio and
eventually the cell phone. Yet his story remains widely unknown.
Here's the Tesla collection you've been waiting for: 214 figures;
668 pages; and 107 articles, letters to editors, and lectures. All
the famous lectures and articles that you'd expect are here, such
as A New System of Alternating Current Motors and Transformers;
Experiments with Alternating Currents of High Frequency;
Experiments with Alternate Currents of Very High Frequency and
Their Application to Methods of Artificial Illumination;
Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High
Frequency; On Light and Other High Frequency Phenomena; The Problem
of Increasing Human Energy, With Special References to the
Harnessing of the Sun's Energy; and My Inventions: The
Autobiography of Nikola Tesla You'll also get his many letters to
editors, commenting on Marconi, Edison, and many issues of the day.
And if that wasn't enough you'll also get other articles that
you've heard about but probably never seen, such as Famous
Scientific Illusions; High Frequency Oscillators for
Electro-Therapeutic and Other Purposes; The Disturbing Influence of
Solar Radiation on the Wireless Transmission of Energy; The Wonder
World to Be Created by Electricity; A Speech Delivered Before the
American Institute of Electrical Engineers; and Electrical
Oscillators. This is an amazing collection that will give you the
most complete look into the mind of Nikola Tesla, who has been
called the most important man of the 20th Century. Without Tesla's
ground-breaking work we'd all be sitting in the dark without even a
radio to listen to.

This is an excellent resource for those who wish to study about
Tesla's experiments. The notes are highly detailed, and clearly
show his attempts at transmitting electricity without wires by
means of his magnifying transmitter.
In this volume, a lecture given at the Institution of Electrical
Engineers in London, brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla dazzles his
audience with his keen insight and an array of experiments that
pushed the boundaries of human knowledge. Tesla's discoveries, more
than a century old, continue to astound students and scholars of
the history of science. Serbian inventor NIKOLA TESLA (1857-1943)
was a revolutionary scientist who forever changed the scientific
fields of electricity and magnetism. Though he is now widely
forgotten, Tesla's greatest invention, AC current, powers almost
all of the technological wonders in the world today, from home
heating to computers to high-tech precision robotics.

Tesla was not an ordinary scientist/inventor. His long life,
beliefs and unusual psyche are the testimony to his uniqueness.
Even today, there are fan clubs, Tesla societies all over the
world. Recently an electric car company, the Tesla Motors were
founded, bearing his name.I am intrigued and fascinated by Tesla
because of mankind's current crisis dealing with energy and the
United States energy politics leading the country to ever
increasing adventures and wars all around the Globe. Oil is
addictive substance to everyday life, especially if immensely rich
oil companies dictate foreign policies and renewable energy
research.
