About the author
Nikola Tesla (1856–1943), the ingenious inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist, is best known for his contributions to the development of the alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Tesla's life was devoted to the discovery and development of new technologies, many of which were far ahead of his time. Born in the Austrian Empire, now Croatia, he emigrated to the United States in 1884 where he continued his groundbreaking work. Not merely an inventor, Tesla was also an author, and his collected 'Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla' provides an in-depth view of his extraordinary mind and a record of his extensive achievements. This seminal volume contains Tesla's lectures, patents, and theoretical works that span his entire career. His literary style often reflects his inventive personality—analytical, precise, and visionary. Tesla's writings not only shed light on his own innovations and experiments but also contribute significantly to the scientific literature of the period. Despite his massive impact on modern technology and science, Tesla died relatively uncelebrated; however, his legacy endures, and he is now recognized as one of the greatest inventors of all time, whose works helped to usher in the second Industrial Revolution and continue to inspire new generations of inventors and scientists.
