My Inventions: An Autobiography Kindle Edition

by Nikola Tesla (Author), David Major (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 112 ratings

THIS IS A NEW EDITION of the famous series of articles by Nikola Tesla that appeared in The Electrical Experimenter magazine in 1919. Gathered together, they are unique in providing a glimpse into Tesla’s mind and his private thoughts. It tells about the man, his motivations and the values that he held.

The articles have been fully edited, and reformatted, and new illustrations have been added throughout. This is the best version of this text that is available.

Reviews

“Awesome book. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the life and works of Nikola Tesla. Not only is it an invitation to one of the greatest minds of the last century but a chance to get to know Tesla as a person, as the book is filled with anecdotes of his early life."

“This book was nothing short of inspirational. I am in no way an electrical expert but this book makes me want to start a career in electrical engineering. After reading this informative autobiography of one of the world greatest inventors, I started researching ways to learn basic electrical components and how they work hands-on"

"If you know who Tesla was and his contribution to the civilized world of electronics then I do not need to say any more. This is not a technical book but an overview of his life and background material for his basic contributions."

"Genius, genius, genius....the greatest electrical engineer who ever lived. Cannot get enough of his work. This book is a must read for anyone in the electrical engineering profession. He is responsible for so much of what we take for granted today including our whole system for generation and distribution of AC electricity. Thank you Tesla, and thank you to the publishers for perpetuating his legacy."

    As an avid reader its handy to have your book collection with you. Some books are lacking images but hay that’s why we have imaginations. Overall very pleased.

    This is one of my heroes. Despite how he lived toward the end of his life Tesla's overall story is one of wonder and inspiration. What a creative and inexhaustive man. He fought many battles for his patents and especially against JP Morgan and the likes of him. This is an excellent treatise for all inventors and creative people in general. I picture him as the Walt Disney of science.

    I liked this book. I like Nikola Tesla and all of the crazy things he did or may have done. At times his writing got a little too. . . theoretical? technical? Anyway, there were times when I had no idea what he was going on about. But he had some intriguing philosophies and ideas about how the world works. I was particularly fascinated with his psychological self-evaluations. I've recommended this book to some pyschologist friends of mine to get their take on it.
