Synopsis

2011 Reprint of 1894 Edition. Special care has been taken to render the numerous illustrations in this edition as true to the original as possible. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla" is a book compiled and edited by Thomas Commerford Martin detailing the work of Nikola Tesla. The book is a comprehensive compilation of Tesla's work and profusely illustrated. Written at the end of the 19th century, the book is a record of Tesla's pioneering activities, research, and works. Tesla is recognized as one of the foremost electrical investigators and inventors. At the time of publication, the book was the "bible" of every electrical engineer practicing the profession. The book includes Tesla's lectures, miscellaneous articles and discussions, and makes note of all his inventions up to the date of publication, particularly polyphase motors and the effects obtained with currents of high potential and high frequency. The book demonstrates that Tesla continued on the scientific frontier, barely pausing for an instant to work out details of utilization that may have at once been obvious to him. Wherever possible his own language was employed in the writing of the book.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

To many workers and thinkers in the domain of electrical invention, the apparatus and devices that are familiar, appear cumbrous and wasteful, and subject to severe limitations. They believe that the principles of current generation must be changed, the area of current supply be enlarged, and the appliances used by the consumer be at once cheapened and simplified. The brilliant successes of the past justify them in every expectancy of still more generous fruition. The present volume is a simple record of the pioneer work done in such departments up to date, by Mr. Nikola Tesla, in whom the world has already recognized one of the foremost of modern electrical investigators and inventors. No attempt whatever has been made here to emphasize the importance of his researches and discoveries. Great ideas and real inventions win their own way, determining their own place by intrinsic merit. But with the conviction that Mr. Tesla is blazing a patli that electrical development must follow for many years to come, the compiler has endeavored to bring together all that bears the impress of Mr. Tesla sgenius, and is worthy of preservation. A side from its value as showing the scope of his inventions, this volume may be of service as indicating the range of his thought. There is intellectual profit in studying the push and play of a vigorous and original mind. A lthqugh the lively interest of the public in Mr. Tesla swork is perhaps of recent growth, this volume covers the results of full ten years.
