Nikola Tesla: Prophet Of The Modern Technological Age

Nikola Tesla: Prophet Of The Modern Technological Age

Nikola Tesla: inventor or magician? Tesla was one of the most famous inventors who ever lived, but after his death, he was nearly forgotten. He was a celebrity during the height of Americaâ€™s Gilded Age. In this book, you will read about his friendship with Mark Twain, his furious competition with his former employer Thomas Edison, his uneasy relationship with billionaire J.P. Morgan, and his rivalry with Albert Einstein. During his lifetime, Tesla revolutionized the field of electrical engineering with his most famous invention: the induction motor. But that wasnâ€™t all he contributed to the world of technology. His coils, turbines, robotic boats, and mysterious â€œdeath rayâ€ continue to beguile the imagination and inspire the inventors of the 21st century. But who was Tesla really? This book will take you from his early childhood in Croatia, where he experienced strange optical visions and â€œluminous phenomenonâ€ that gave him near super-human powers of memory and visualization, to the â€œWar of the Currentsâ€, Thomas Edisonâ€™s bizarre campaign to ruin Teslaâ€™s reputation. From trying to fight the Spanish American War with robots, to electrifying the skies of the Colorado desert, and to starting an earthquake in the middle of New York city, learn how Nikola Tesla shaped the world we live in today.
