Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist. He is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla first studied engineering and physics in the 1870s without receiving a degree. He then gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. In 1884 he emigrated to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen. He worked for a short time at the Edison Machine Works in New York City before he struck out on his own. With the help of partners to finance and market his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices. His AC induction motor and related polyphase AC patents, licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system which that company eventually marketed. Attempting to develop inventions he could patent and market, Tesla conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray imaging. He also built a wirelessly controlled boat, one of the first ever exhibited. Tesla became well known as an inventor and demonstrated his achievements to celebrities and wealthy patrons at his lab, and was noted for his showmanship at public lectures. Throughout the 1890s, Tesla pursued his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado Springs. In 1893, he made pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communication with his devices. Tesla tried to put these ideas to practical use in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project, an intercontinental wireless communication and power transmitter, but ran out of funding before he could complete it. After Wardenclyffe, Tesla experimented with a series of inventions in the 1910s and 1920s with varying degrees of success. Having spent most of his money, Tesla lived in a series of New York hotels, leaving behind unpaid bills. He died in New York City in January 1943. Tesla's work fell into relative obscurity following his death, until 1960, when the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the International System of Units (SI) measurement of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor. There has been a resurgence in popular interest in Tesla since the 1990s.

Varolmanın Dayanılmaz Ağırlığı, Nikola Tesla'nın eserlerinden özenle derlenmiş bir seçkidir. "Nefretiniz elektriğe dönüştürülebilseydi bütün dünyayı aydınlatmaya yeterdi." "Bütün canlılar evrenin çarkında iç içe geçmiş dişlilerdir."(Tanıtım Bülteninden)
Nikola Tesla's Electricity Unplugged is a unique anthology of hand-picked Tesla articles, arranged historically, which presents overwhelming and convincing evidence for the reality of Tesla's high efficiency, low cost wireless power transmission. Following in the footsteps of the editor's first book in the series, Harnessing the Wheelwork of Nature, Dr. Tom Valone's book chronologically traces the original intention that Nikola Tesla had for his wireless electricity and how he updated and expanded upon it later on, with reprints of his key articles, to the recent genius engineers and physicists who are now finally bringing this last and most elusive, highly advanced Tesla technology into reality. The Corum article (along with the Peterson article) on the Zenneck wave transmission experiments culminates the viewpoints of all of the book's contributors. Its purposeful placement as the last chapter of the book, is because this exclusive article publication is a major scientific breakthrough, as testified by the book's endorsement from Brigadier General Michael Miller, and foretells the understandable, visionary road to the corporate formation of wireless power utilities. Furthermore, this is the first and only book in the world which explains how an electromagnetic wave traveling across the electrically conductive surface of the earth, was predicted by Tesla and Zenneck (two pictures in the book show them together on pages 74 and 381) and why it is the essential missing link of any Tesla wireless transmission theory. Many of the contributors also nicely explain the "surface wave phenomenon" as well as "resonant earth-ionosphere" modes of electrical transmission without wires that compliments the surface wave theory and experiment. Nikola Tesla's Electricity Unplugged therefore is a treasure compared to any other Tesla reference book currently in print, since it is jam-packed with personal stories of Tesla, such as one reprinted from the prestigious Smithsonian magazine, along with great illustrated slideshows adapted for the book format, the "secret" history of Tesla's wireless, the real Tesla electric car, high Q resonant power transfer examples being used today by Qualcomm, "Tesla unplugged" explained in an easy-to-understand presentation by a Brookhaven National Lab scientist, wireless electricity article based on scalar waves, even including a couple amazing rigorous equation articles with wireless solutions for the tech audience, a unique and evocative Foreword by Nikola Tesla's last living direct descendant, all presented in a 457-page paperback book, suitable as a college or high school reader, or simply as an eye-opening, optimistic window onto the electrical genius regarded as the "Master of Lightning," with a priceless collection of nineteen (19) contributors not available anywhere else.
1956. Contains lectures, patents and articles by the scientist and inventor who developed the AC current system and contributed greatly to science and humanity. This volume is a collection of documents chosen not only as precious evidence of Tesla's important scientific work, but they also provide a worthy signpost for the present and future generations of inventors of all fields of science and technics. Includes hundreds of diagrams and illustrations. This scarce work has four pages that have portions that are illegible.
Nikola Tesla was a man of letters. He wrote many letters to the editors of the magazines and newspapers of his day. These letters give a fascinating glimpse into the mind of an eccentric genius. Collected here for the first time are more than forty of Nikola Tesla's letters. The subject matter ranges widely, as Tesla was interested in almost everything. In these letters he responds to Marconi and Edison, gives his thoughts on the wars of his day, corrects inconsistencies in news reports, and much much more. Nikola Tesla 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.

“Fikrimi çalmaları mühim değil…Asıl mühim olan kendi fikirlerinin olmaması.”Nikola TeslaŞüphesiz Nikola Tesla’nın ölümsüz fikirleriyle şekillenen teknoloji, günümüz dünyasını daha yaşanır bir yer haline getirmiştir. Ancak hayatı boyunca maddi kazanımlarla ilgilenmeyen ve bildiği her şeyi insanlığa bağışlayan duyarlı yönüyle de bir bilimadamından çok daha fazlasıdır Nikola Tesla.Aldığı sayısız patentler ve çığır açan icatlarıyla büyük yükseliş yaşayan Tesla’nın birden düşüşe geçmesi ve henüz hayattayken unutulması ise çok düşündürücüdür. Ölümünün ardından radyo, floresan, radar, alternatif akım motorları, lazer ve robot teknolojilerinin yanı sıra deprem makinesi çalışmalarıyla birlikte aydınlanmamış soruları da beraberinde götürmüştür.Dünya çapında enerji nakledilebileceği fikrini bilimsel bir temelden mi almıştı?Bahsettiği sınırsız enerji kaynağını hayata geçirip, gerçekten dünya üzerindeki enerji savaşlarının tümünü sona erdirebilir miydi?Mars’la iletişime geçmek istemesinin asıl sebebi neydi?Ölümünün hemen ardından kaldığı otel odasında kaybolan bilimsel yazılarına kim el koymuştu?Gizemlerle dolu bilim tarihini ve şaşırtıcı bir karakteri okumaya hazır mısınız?

Впервые бесценные воспоминания великого ученого и изобретателя Николы Теслы стали достоянием общественности. Его открытия и научные прогнозы не потеряли своей актуальности до сих пор. Более того – многое, о чем говорил ученый, стало понятным только в ХХI веке, а что-то остается загадкой и сейчас.В том, что дневники впервые опубликованы в России, стране, к которой Никола Тесла относился с огромным уважением, можно усмотреть знак судьбы.Случайно ли пожар 1895 года погубил лабораторию Теслы? Что связывало гения с русским ученым Михаилом Филипповым, изобретателем «лучей смерти»? Филадельфийский эксперимент. Мировая система беспроводной передачи энергии. Как все происходило и происходило ли на самом деле?Дневники гения, много лет хранившиеся в архиве ФБР, не только проливают свет на его открытия, но и раскрывают тайны этой поистине магической личности, сумевшей опередить время.Рукописи не горят…Рукописи не исчезают…Со страниц этой книги сквозь время с нами говорит Никола Тесла.
"Tesla now firmly believes that, with improved apparatus, it will be quite possible for the people of the earth to communicate with the inhabitants of other planets." Tesla's Call From Mars? New York Sun, January 3, 1901"Tesla became convinced that the signal may have originated from a neighboring planet and be evidence of an alien intelligence." - The Truth About Tesla (2018)"Tesla published his 'Talking with the Planets,' which is full of oracular pronouncements, including the claim that he had detected an extraterrestrial signal.""My first observations positively terrified me, as there was present in them something mysterious, not to say supernatural, and I was alone in my laboratory at night," explains Nikola Tesla in describing what he believed was perhaps man's first communication with alien beings from another planet.In 1901, while Tesla was conducting experiments tapping into the earth's geomagnetic pulse for sending electronic messages, his sensitive equipment began picking up mysterious rythmic beeping signals. Tesla would later allege that these signal were of alien origin, as he explained in "Talking with the Planets," a 10-page article published in Collier's Weekly (February 9th, 1901), republished here.In describing the alien signals, Tesla "The Martians, or the inhabitants of whatever planet had signalled to us, would understand at once that we had caught their message across the gulf of space and had sent back a response. To convey a knowledge of form by such means is, while very difficult, not impossible, and I have already found a way of doing it."About the Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.

"Nikola Tesla seemed to have a cosmic mind that swept the Universe." -Dr. Nikola Tesla: The Forgotten Super Man of Our Industrial Age (1996) "Tesla came to Earth riding a bolt of lightning! He was an intimate of cosmic forces." - Rays from the Rose Cross: A Magazine of Mystic Light (2001) "At the time he conceived these ideas, that is, in the early 1890s, Tesla was studying Herbert Spencer." - Wizard: The Life and Times of Nikolas Tesla (1998) Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was a genius who revolutionized the way the world looks at electricity. In February 1915, Tesla published a short 12-page work titled "How Cosmic Forces Shape Our Destinies" in the New York American magazine, republished here. As Tesla explains in this work, "everything that exists, organic or inorganic, animated or inert, is susceptible to stimulus from the outside. There is no gap between, no break of continuity, no special and distinguishing vital agent. The same law governs all matter, all the universe is alive."
Никола Тесла – изобретатель, инженер и ученый – одна из самых великих и загадочных личностей XX века. Опытам Теслы приписывают связь с проблемой Тунгусского метеорита, "эксперименту Филадельфия" – превращения большого военного корабля США со всей его командой в невидимый объект, создание особых лучей, воздействующих на психику человека, и т. п. Не подлежит сомнению, что Тесла имел прямое или косвенное отношение ко многим тайнам двадцатого столетия.В книге, представленной вашему вниманию, собраны статьи и выступления Н. Теслы, которые посвящены глобальным проблемам человечества, а также развитию науки и техники в плане обеспечения власти над миром для узкой группы "технократов". Следует заметить, что многие работы Теслы были засекречены на долгие годы по решению ЦРУ США, что дало повод некоторым исследователям говорить об использовании методов Н. Теслы в глобалистской политике Соединенных Штатов.
Nikola Tesla dreamed of a wireless future. In this volume we have collected thirteen of his essays having to do with wireless. These include the "True Wireless," "Tesla's Wireless Light," "The Transmission of Electrical Energy Without Wires," "The Future of the Wireless Art," "Nikola Tesla Sees A Wireless Vision," and many others. Nikola Tesla 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.
"SPECTACULAR" is a mild word for describing the strange experiment with life that comprises the story of Nikola Tesla, and "amazing" fails to do adequate justice to the results that burst from his experiences.
Wisdom from one of the most intelligent and talented inventors of our age. He has substantially contributed to scientific world. Also his sharp and bright mind has created so many powerful thoughts which you can have now in form of his words.UPDATED! I added a contact section where you will find email address. I decide it's not fair you haven't an option to communicate with either to complain or ask or whatever you would like to do. I'm open for a conversation. Thank you for your support!Urszula Miller

Nikola Tesla was a genius who revolutionized how the world looks at electricity. During college his professors explained that it was impossible to design an engine without commutators or brushes. Tesla was unconvinced that such was necessary or even particularly desirable. It was then that Tesla began his work on the rotating field motor that ultimately gave birth to the modern age. In May of 1888, Tesla delivered his lecture "A New System of Alternating Current Motors and Transformers" before The American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the world has never been the same.
Nikola TeslaIn February 1892, maverick inventor Nikola Tesla strode onto a stage at the Royal Institution of Electrical Engineers in London. The two-hour lecture he delivered mixed groundbreaking scientific theories about electricity, motors, and electromagnetism with dazzling showmanship. It was this combination of drama and intellect that turned Tesla into the cult figure that he remains today. contains the complete published text of this lecture, originally titled “Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and Low Frequency,” along with numerous illustrations of Tesla's experiments, as well as a biographical sketch of Tesla and his forward-thinking paper on wireless technology: “The Transmission of Electric Energy Without Wires.” This edition also features an introduction by W.
