About this product

Product Information

The fascinating autobiography of the legendary inventor behind the radio, wireless energy, robotics, and much more. Famous for his pioneering contributions to the electronic age, his lifelong feud with Thomas Edison, and his erratic behavior, Nikola Tesla was one of the most brilliant and daring inventors and visionaries of his time. My Inventions is Tesla's autobiography, with meditations on his major discoveries and innovations, including the rotating magnetic field, the magnifying transmitter, and the Tesla coil. This volume also includes three articles by Tesla, as well as an enlightening introduction that discredits many of the myths surrounding the thinker's eccentric life. This rare window into the industrial age's most tragic genius will fascinate historians, scientists, aspiring inventors, and curious fans alike.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • TERRIBLE BOOK ! ! !

    VERY poorly written. Even with my background in electronics and mathematics I could not grasp the concepts of his inventions. Sure, his work in electricity and motors was revolutionary, but for god's sake, the guy neither describes how the stuff works, nor how he worked on it. Instead he provides abstract mental pictures, and what he claims were "realistic experiments" that he was running in his head during sleepless nights. Tesla comes off like a psychopath recollecting his childhood fantasies and hallucinations. Not a single formula/sketch in the book. His later, more controversial work is described as well, and it's completely not grounded in reality, neither! Zeppelins equipped with million-volt generators flying over battlefields and cities, killing soldiers and citizens in time of ...
