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.
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a prophet of the electronic age. Here is his Story in his own words.Compiled and Edited by Ben Johnston, it is a record of his fascinating life, from his humble beginnings in Croatia, his collaboration with Thomas Edison, to his revolutionary breakthroughs and Discoveries that changed the world.
2011 Reprint of 1894 Edition. Special care has been taken to render the numerous illustrations in this edition as true to the original as possible. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla" is a book compiled and edited by Thomas Commerford Martin detailing the work of Nikola Tesla. The book is a comprehensive compilation of Tesla's work and profusely illustrated. Written at the end of the 19th century, the book is a record of Tesla's pioneering activities, research, and works. Tesla is recognized as one of the foremost electrical investigators and inventors. At the time of publication, the book was the "bible" of every electrical engineer practicing the profession. The book includes Tesla's lectures, miscellaneous articles and discussions, and makes note of all his inventions up to the date of publication, particularly polyphase motors and the effects obtained with currents of high potential and high frequency. The book demonstrates that Tesla continued on the scientific frontier, barely pausing for an instant to work out details of utilization that may have at once been obvious to him. Wherever possible his own language was employed in the writing of the book.
