Nikola Tesla was a visionary polymath whose groundbreaking discoveries in electricity and magnetism fundamentally shaped the modern world. His work laid the foundation for contemporary alternating current systems and power distribution, significantly contributing to the Second Industrial Revolution. Though widely recognized as one of the greatest electrical engineers of his era, his eccentric nature and unconventional visions ultimately led to his ostracization. Despite later misunderstandings, the legacy of Tesla's patents and theoretical work continues to inspire and influence technological advancement.
The autobiography offers a glimpse into Nikola Tesla's formative years and his groundbreaking inventions, such as the rotating magnetic field and the Tesla coil. It delves into his rivalry with Thomas Edison and his pioneering work in wireless technology. The narrative culminates with reflections on the failure of the Wardenclyffe Tower and intriguing discussions on weather manipulation and advanced technologies that evoke modern concepts of UFOs. Additionally, the volume features nine supplementary articles, enhancing the understanding of Tesla's visionary ideas.
Posebno izdanje autobiografije Nikole Tesle, fizičara, kemičara i matematičara koji je osmislio više od 700 patenata, izumitelja koji je zamislio i praktičnom učinio suvremenu uporabu električne energije. Načinio je prvi elektromotor na izmjeničnu struju, istraživao rendgenske zrake, pridonio osnovnim saznanjima o kozmičkim zrakama i potpisao dinamičnu teoriju gravitacije… Teslin životopis opremljen je fotografijama i skicama pronalazaka te popraćen tekstom slovenskog fizičara, izumitelja, spisatelja i putopisca Andreja Detele, dobrog poznavatelja rada Nikole Tesle. “Tesla je bez ikakve sumnje bio poseban genij, kakve danas zapravo i nismo spremni više priznavati. Dobro je poznavao postojeće znanstvene teorije svojeg doba, ali nije dopustio da ga one zaustave ili ograniče. Umjesto toga formalne je temelje širio u transcedentni prostor u kojem nije bilo granica između znanosti, umjetnosti i duhovnosti. Upravo su tako radili svi pravi geniji.” – Andrej Detela Posebno izdanje Mojih pronalazaka u cijelosti je dvojezično – osim izvornika, koji je Tesla napisao na engleskome, usporedo je i potpun prijevod na hrvatskome.
Detailed notes document Tesla's groundbreaking experiments in wireless electricity transmission using his magnifying transmitter. This resource offers insights into his innovative techniques and the challenges he faced, making it invaluable for anyone interested in the history of electrical engineering and Tesla's contributions to the field.
NIKOLA TESLA was a pivotal inventor of the last century, holding over 700 patents across various fields such as electricity, robotics, radar, and wireless energy transmission. His groundbreaking discoveries laid the foundation for many technological advances of the twentieth century. This book delves into Tesla's insights on humanity's connection with the universe and his scientific interpretations of the technologies he championed. Originally published in Century Illustrated Magazine in June 1900, it showcases Tesla's genius.
The text covers several key themes: the movement of humanity and how to enhance human energy through various means, such as increasing human mass, reducing retarding forces, and harnessing solar energy. It discusses the potential of iron and aluminum in boosting human performance, the economical production of iron, and advancements in energy sources like coal and natural elements. Tesla explores innovative concepts like a self-acting engine, the properties of the atmosphere, and wireless telegraphy, including the development of a highly sensitive receiver. He also presents the possibility of transmitting electrical energy wirelessly over vast distances, emphasizing the transformative power of his inventions for humanity's future.
History is written by the victors. But that is no comfort to those crossed out by the editor’s pen. For years, science textbooks equated electricity and light with one man, Thomas Edison, while the genius whose pioneering electrical technologies truly power the modern world languished as a minor note in scientific history. Before the turn of the 20th century, electricity remained a mere scientific curiosity. Nikola Tesla, arguably more than anyone else, changed that. But Nikola’s pioneering research in electricity represents only a portion of the scientific and technical innovations that elevated him to science godhood. Tesla not only expanded and revolutionized the work of his predecessors, he also leapfrogged ahead of his contemporaries to the next step. Nikola My Life, My Research has three Tesla’s autobiography; Tesla’s major research programs explained in simple words; and an eighty-page collection of rare photographs taken at several stages of Tesla’s life; from his birth certificate, to the first photograph ever taken by phosphorescent light, to the last known photograph before Tesla’s death, in 1943. One 336 pages.
Winter, spring, summer, and autumn: In every season kids get dirty, so in every season kids need a bath! Go through the year with little bunny--splashing in puddles, rolling in grass, eating a drippy banana split and painting pictures. And when there's a mess, it's rub-a-dub-dub from head to toe. This adorable follow-up to Time For a Hug will make bath time fun!
Nikola Tesla was an inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system. This volume contains blueprints, photos, and lectures on many inventions and experiments in areas such as unipolar motors, arc lighting, polyphase systems, high frequency phenomenon, and much more. --Publisher
"This collection includes Tesla's autobiography, My Inventions, and the lengthy philosophical essay "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy: With Special Reference to the Harnessing of the Sun's Energy," as well as five lectures"-- Provided by publisher
Nikola Tesla: Lectures and Patents is one of the first reference works to come out of Belgrade following the arrival of Tesla's inheritance in 1952. Here is a wealth of information in the form of documents drawn from the Nikola Tesla Museum archive, compiled into a single large volume. The purpose of Nikola Tesla: Lectures and Patents is to acquaint the reader with Nikola Tesla's most important works in the numerous fields of science to which he dedicated himself. This book contains two parts: lectures, and patents. The first part contains five of the most important lectures of Nikola Tesla in chronological order. In these lectures, Tesla explained his achievements in the field of high frequencies and high voltages as well as high-frequency oscillators for electro-therapeutic and other purposes. The second part deals with Nikola Tesla's 112 patents registered at the Patent Office of the United States of America. These patents are divided into select groups, each of which arranged according to its order of registration, and ranging from aircraft, circuit controllers, condensers, high frequency engineering, lighting, meters, motors & generators, power distribution, radiant energy, reciprocating engines, turbo machinery, to wireless technology.
