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.
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.
Nikola Tesla has been called the most important man of the
twentieth century. His writings have fascinated readers for more
than a century. No one has had a greater impact on the world as we
know it than Tesla. Without his ground-breaking work we'd all be
sitting in the dark without even a radio to listen to. Collected
here are Tesla's most important works including A New System of
Alternating Current Motors and Transformers; Experiments with
Alternate Currents of Very High Frequency and Their Application to
Methods of Artificial Illumination; The Problem of Increasing Human
Energy; and The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla. This is the Tesla
book you've been waiting for: with more than 50 figures this books
truly is essential. Get all 4 of these Tesla books in one binding
for the same price you would expect to pay for just one of them.

A short time ago I had the honor to bring before our American
Institute of Electrical Engineers some results then arrived at by
me in a novel line of work. I need not assure you that the many
evidences which I have received that English scientific men and
engineers were interested in this work have been for me a great
reward and encouragement. I will not dwell upon the experiments
already described, except with the view of completing, or more
clearly expressing, some ideas advanced by me before, and also with
the view of rendering the study here presented self-contained, and
my remarks on the subject of this evening's lecture consistent.
This investigation, then, it goes without saying, deals with
alternating currents, and, to be more precise, with alternating
currents of high potential and high frequency. Just in how much a
very high frequency is essential for the production of the results
presented is a question which, even with my present experience,
would embarrass me to answer. Some of the experiments may be
performed with low frequencies; but very high frequencies are
desirable, not only on account of the many effects secured by their
use, but also as a convenient means of obtaining, in the induction
apparatus employed, the high potentials, which in their turn are
necessary to the demonstration of most of the experiments here
contemplated.

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.
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.
