Nikola Tesla Books
friends, so in that book, he brings many details from Tesla's life. O'Neill's book was published in 1944 in three editions, and besides that, 100,000 copies were printed for the American army. Reviews of this book appeared in all daily newspapers and magazines. On the occasion of that book, Tesla's works and their significance were written about more than decades before.
In the end, we will present several quotes from various obituaries written on the occasion of his death.
Professor Charles F. Scott, in his overview of the development of electrical engineering in the last two decades of the previous century, says in the journal Electrical Engineering, from August 1943, among other things, this:
Faraday's principle of electromagnetic induction, published in 1831, led only after some forty years to various, practically achievable forms of dynamos. The production of electricity by means of mechanical power spurred the invention of apparatus and the development of various methods or "systems" for distributing and utilizing electric current. The evolution of the "system" reached its peak in Tesla's polyphase alternating current with his unique induction motor. His system dominated the development of electricity application for half a century and continues to dominate today as our method of using electrical power.
This is Tesla's contribution to electrical power. Tesla's recent death occurred half a century after the presentation of his polyphase system at the World's Fair in Chicago and its application for the great project at Niagara. This is a method that is universally used today. We know of no other.
In the development of the science of electrical energy since Faraday's discovery in 1831, the first large-scale installation of Tesla's polyphase system in 1896 is undoubtedly the most colossal event in the entire history of technology.
One of the most prominent English experts in the field of radio technology, Eccles, wrote on the occasion of Tesla's
