Nikola Tesla pursued his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments. Tesla explained the principles of the rotating magnetic field in an induction motor by demonstrating how to make a copper egg stand on end using a device he constructed known as the Egg of Columbus and introduced his new steam-powered oscillator AC generator.

Inside, you’ll hear about:

  • A promising intellect
  • Health complications
  • Inventive work
  • A troubled mind
  • Unusual experiences
  • Mental breakdown
  • Controversial viewpoints
  • A forgotten mind
  • From breakdown to brainstorm
  • Overshadowed by rivals
  • Death of a forgotten mind
  • And much more!

Based on Tesla's new ideas for electrical equipment, including a thermomagnetic motor idea, Alfred S. Brown and Charles F. Peck formed the Tesla Electric Company. Nikola Tesla developed an induction motor that ran on alternating current (AC), a power-system format that was rapidly expanding in Europe and the US because of its advantages in long-distance, high-voltage transmission.

This is one of those books where you put on a pot of coffee and try to freight train through the book as much as you can. If you are a fan of Nikola Tesla, you need to have this book.

good one

Never mind the fact I've been a fan of Nikola Tesla for years, for someone who is researching Tesla's work for a science fiction novel, this was a wonderful find. It gave me all kinds of tidbits of information that I might not have found elsewhere. I'm very pleased with it and enjoying it very much.

Very good bio

Nikola Tesla was truly the best inventive mind of his time. I can see how Edison was envious of everything that Tesla did. I bought another book about Tesla for my grandson who specializes in Science. It's not that hard to follow this man's great mind!

nice

Although I am quite interested in the technical side of his story, I enjoyed the development of Tesla from an unknown to acclamation of his genius by the great inventors of his age, like the singer who is rejected by the record company, and then rockets to stardom, Tesla becomes the superstar in his own right. It is amazing how many ideas came out of this one man's mind, that was claimed by others as theirs.

Genius..the title says it all.

This book emphasizes the electrical engineering Tesla did, rather than other areas of his work. It was the only book I found that was based on his writings and lectures directly, rather than other people's biased opinions of his work. If in doubt, always go to the original source -- this fits. A nice gift for the engineer in your life and an interesting read. My only negative is that this is a paperback, and the paper is not high quality, but it is a very thick, large book packed with info. Worth it. I packaged this with set of 6 Tesla Patent Wall Prints and a Tesla coil based Plasma Ball Lamp for an outstanding theme-based gift.

This book emphasizes the electrical engineering

A thorough and compelling biography of one of the most misunderstood, tragic scientific figures in human history. There has been a resurgence of study and popular attention to Tesla's brilliant oeuvre, and we are all beneficiaries of this renewed interest. This book is full of primary sources (letters, mostly, and some journals) that bring Tesla to life for devotée and neophyte alike.

Tesla the genius!

If only all of humanity that Tesla stove to serve were as selfless as he was.

A very interesting book that explains Tesla's thinking and the way his mind works. By him, in his own words. A must listen for Tesla fans!

good
