Nikola Tesla
Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency
Buch
This was a lecture delivered by Tesla before the Institution of Electrical Engineers in London. Alternate Current (AC) was in large part created and perfected by Tesla, who proved it to be a more effective means of transmitting power than Direct Current (DC). This book is an important part of the history of power generation because it outlines Tesla's work up to that time and shows exactly how this revolutionary new system began and how it works. To this day, AC is still used to power most things in our homes. This book allows us into the mind of the genius who first created it. Tesla went far beyond AC as evidenced by the Appendix, which cov…

This was a lecture delivered by Tesla before the Institution of Electrical Engineers in London. Alternate Current (AC) was in large part created and perfected by Tesla, who proved it to be a more effective means of transmitting power than Direct Current (DC). This book is an important part of the history of power generation because it outlines Tesla's work up to that time and shows exactly how this revolutionary new system began and how it works. To this day, AC is still used to power most things in our homes. This book allows us into the mind of the genius who first created it. Tesla went far beyond AC as evidenced by the Appendix, which covers some of the most sought after information from him, entitled The Transmission of Electric Energy without Wires. Tesla's ideas and his inventions were absolutely real and legitimate. They revolutionized the world and many of his ideas, which were ahead of his time, could continue to do so well into the future.

Über den Autor
Nikola Tesla was a genius polymath, inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer. He is frequently cited as one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity, a man who shed light over the face of Earth, and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution. Born an ethnic Serb in the village of Smiljan, Vojna Krajina, in the territory of today's Croatia, he was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen. After his demonstration of wireless communication (radio) in 1894 and after being the victor in the War of Currents, he was widely respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers who worked in America. Much of his early work pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. During this period, in the United States, Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture, but due to his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist. Never having put much focus on his finances, Tesla died impoverished at the age of 86.
