In this text written for The Electrical Experimenter, Tesla shows himself to be the real "Father of the Wireless". He fully discredits the Hertz theory and explains that the real Hertz waves die out even after traveling a short distance. He expands further on the reactions of this theory he felt has held strength for too long and introduces his own revolutionary alternative.

In light of Heinrich Hertz’s experiments surrounding the Maxwellian electromagnetic theory of light, Tesla seeks to further validate his own system, which had thus far acquired little understanding. In this article, Tesla specifically focuses on some disturbances he observed in his own research and what they teach us about the behavior of energy. This article mainly expands on the effect solar radiation has on the wireless transmissions.

As one of history’s greatest scientists, Nicola Tesla paved the way for a great number of principles but is perhaps best remembered for his pioneering work with electricity. His contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system are perhaps the most notable. This lecture delivered to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in Columbia College, N.Y., on May 20, 1891, marks one of his most important public addres

Nikola Tesla believed the universe was never bound to spiritual or natural laws, but is in essence a machine where we are but a mere part of. In this 1915 text Tesla applies the mechanical theory of life to the greater events of the time such as the war and the earthquake in Italy. He states that the man as a machine is joined in a universal wheelwork that feeds cosmic disturbances to our world and as a result introduces calamities that are, in the great scheme of things, not at all arbitrary but interconnected.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian electrical and mechanical engineer who was born and raised in the Austrian Empire and later became an American citizen. His article "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy" (June 1900) is a philosophical study of the nature of mankind's relationship to the universe, with scientific extrapolations on how technological advancement might contribute to that understanding.

Inventor and scientist Nikola Tesla believed in the existence of life on other planets. One night in his laboratory in the Colorado mountains, he noted electronic signals that he deduced came from intelligent life on another planet. While we have still not been able to prove the existence of alien life, Tesla’s article from 1901 provides an arresting look at the possibility of interplanetary communication.

This is the most comprehensive compilation of newspaper clippings and periodical articles assembled about Nikola Tesla. The entries range from August 14, 1886, to December 11, 1920. Comprising approximately 1,700 separate items, the collection includes both American and British publications and is reproduced directly from the original material.

In reading ‘electrical oscillator’, you will probably automatically think ‘earthquake machine’. This charming title aside, electrical oscillators at its core employ an amplifier whose output is fed back to the input, so the signal regenerates and sustains itself. In this 1919 publication, Tesla further expands on one of his most famous inventions.

From Tesla's childhood in Yugoslavia to his death in New York in the 1940s, Cheney paints a compelling human portrait and chronicles a lifetime of discoveries that radically altered - and continue to alter - the world in which we live. Tesla: Man Out of Time is an in-depth look at the seminal accomplishments of a scientific wizard and a thoughtful examination of the obsessions and eccentricities of the man behind the science.

This autobiography collection contains My Life and Work: The Autobiography of Henry Ford, My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla, and The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

Two of the boldest and most creative scientists of all time were Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879). This is the story of how these two men - separated in age by 40 years - discovered the existence of the electromagnetic field and devised a radically new theory which overturned the strictly mechanical view of the world that had prevailed since Newton's time.

Understanding our humanity - the essence of who we are - is one of the deepest mysteries and biggest challenges in modern science. Why do we have bad moods? Why are we capable of having such strange dreams? How can metaphors in our language hold such sway on our actions? As we learn more about the mechanisms of human behavior through evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and other related fields, we're discovering just how intriguing the human species is.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), credited as the inspiration for radio, robots, and even radar, has been called the patron saint of modern electricity. Based on original material and previously unavailable documents, this acclaimed book is the definitive biography of the man considered by many to be the founding father of modern electrical technology.

The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.
