About this ebook

Serbian inventor NIKOLA TESLA (1857-1943) was a revolutionary scientist who forever changed the scientific fields of electricity and magnetism. Tesla's greatest invention, A/C current, powers almost all of the technological wonders in the world today, from home heating to computers to high-tech robotics. His discoveries gave mankind the television. And his dream of wireless communication came to pass in both the radio and eventually the cell phone. Yet his story remains widely unknown. History buffs, science enthusiasts, backyard inventors, and anyone who has ever dared to dream big will find the life of Nikola Tesla, written in his own words, engaging, informative, and humorous in its eccentricity.

Ratings and reviews

Very interesting to hear from the great man himself, but disappointing in that he said little about the development and commercialization of the induction motor, certainly Tesla's greatest achievement. There was a lot of talk about the possibilities of the "magnifying transmitter" which came to naught.

Loved the book. He was one for humanity and the corrupt corporate dollar kept us for a different society. Even when denied he pushed on just to make life better for all the world! What a good read.

Say thank you for his ideas and what they are used along side today's technology... real life value is not always in the form of profit but in the form of an idea that revolutionizes the world. As we are atom's we all gain power thru knowledge . How bright is your star..?
