Beschreibung

Nikola Tesla: Lectures and Patents is one of the first reference works to come out of Belgrade following the arrival of Tesla's inheritance in 1952. Here is a wealth of information in the form of documents drawn from the Nikola Tesla Museum archive, compiled into a single large volume.
The purpose of Nikola Tesla: Lectures and Patents is to acquaint the reader with Nikola Tesla's most important works in the numerous fields of science to which he dedicated himself. This book contains two parts: lectures, and patents.
The first part contains five of the most important lectures of Nikola Tesla in chronological order. In these lectures, Tesla explained his achievements in the field of high frequencies and high voltages as well as high-frequency oscillators for electro-therapeutic and other purposes.
The second part deals with Nikola Tesla's 112 patents registered at the Patent Office of the United States of America. These patents are divided into select groups, each of which arranged according to its order of registration, and ranging from aircraft, circuit controllers, condensers, high frequency engineering, lighting, meters, motors & generators, power distribution, radiant energy, reciprocating engines, turbo machinery, to wireless technology.

Über den Autor

Nikola Tesla was a genius polymath, inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer. He is frequently cited as one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity, a man who ""shed light over the face of Earth,"" and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution. Born an ethnic Serb in the village of Smiljan, Vojna Krajina, in the territory of today's Croatia, he was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen. After his demonstration of wireless communication (radio) in 1894 and after being the victor in the ""War of Currents"", he was widely respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers who worked in America. Much of his early work pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. During this period, in the United States, Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture, but due to his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist. Never having put much focus on his finances, Tesla died impoverished at the age of 86.
