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.
Nikola Tesla's legacy lives on in numerous ways today - from the
electric car manufacturers Tesla to the Belgrade Nikola Tesla
Airport.
This book is a readable and affordable collection of Tesla's
patents, inventions and thoughts on free energy, anti-gravity, and
other futuristic inventions. Covered in depth, often in Tesla's own
words, are such topics as wireless transmission of power, death
rays, and radio-controlled airships.
The fascinating autobiography of the legendary inventor behind
the radio, wireless energy, robotics, and much more.
Famous for his pioneering contributions to the electronic age,
his lifelong feud with Thomas Edison, and his erratic behavior,
Nikola Tesla was one of the most brilliant and daring inventors and
visionaries of his time. "My Inventions" is Tesla's autobiography,
with meditations on his major discoveries and innovations,
including the rotating magnetic field, the magnifying transmitter,
and the Tesla coil. This volume also includes three articles by
Tesla, as well as an enlightening introduction that discredits many
of the myths surrounding the thinker's eccentric life. This rare
window into the industrial age's most tragic genius will fascinate
historians, scientists, aspiring inventors, and curious fans
alike.
