A propos de cet article

Entire issue, Volume LX, No. 2, June, 1900, in original wraps with bold headline "Recent Discoveries by Nikola Tesla," light general wear, very minor soiling, two small nicks at spine, with slight loss. a clean, bright copy overall, as noted in pictures, but front wrap was apparently detached at some point, and has neatly and discretely been reattahced at spine edge, leaving issue a bit compromised when opening as front wrap is attached too closely on contents page (would most likely pull apart, but we see no reason to do that). Please see pictures. The original appearance of the important 37-page article, printed in double columns, illustrated with 12 photographs after the author's electrical experiments now published for the first time according to the editor. Illustrations include burning the nitrogen of the atmosphere, a diagram of the three ways of increasing human energy, the first practical Telautomaton, an experiment to illustrate the supplying of electrical energy through a single wire without return, the experiment to illustrate the transmission of electrical energy through the earth without wire, a photographic view of the coils responding to electrical oscillations, a view of the essential parts of the electrical oscillator used in the experiment, an experiment to illustrate an inductive effect of an electrical oscillator of great power, the experiment to illustrate the capacity of the oscillator for producing electrical explosions, an experiment to illustrate the capacity of the oscillator for creating a great electrical movement, a photographic view of an experiment to illustrate the effect of an electrical oscillator delivering energy at a rate of seventy-five thousand horse-power, and small diagrams of wireless telegraphy mechanically illustrated, and obtaining energy from the ambient medium. Very scarce, important piece of electrical science and engineering, almost always found in a bound volume.
