Nikola Tesla Books
The great works of Nikola Tesla in the field of electrical science represent a monument that symbolizes America as a land of a happy era... For him, freedom and solitude were more important than money or a large laboratory. He lived with new ideas - ideas that many found fantastic. But Tesla was not one to be overcome by ideas; he overcame them, especially in the 1890s when he gave the world his induction motor, which enabled energy to be transmitted from Niagara and powered electric railways in Syracuse over a distance of 160 miles, Tesla's coil or transformer, and many other inventions. He was a pioneer in the field of radio technology... Tesla's mind was a human dynamo, which worked for the happiness of mankind...
The New York Times of November 15, 1944, reports, among other things:
"In the realm of pure science, Tesla was a far greater genius than Edison... In this country, he encountered many difficulties, but in the end, he found understanding with Westinghouse, and the era of transmitting electrical power over long distances began. The entire scientific world values this great work, but Tesla was also the initiator of all radio technology and radio broadcasting, and a large part of what is widely known today as "electronics." In his best years, Tesla was incomprehensible, but despite all that, the fact remains that he lived and, through his work, transformed the world to an astonishing degree. His life represents a significant chapter in American history."
In this article, I have striven to portray the figure of our Nikola Tesla as he is, with all his brilliant qualities of which we are proud, and with his human weaknesses, which make him even closer and dearer to us. Nikola Tesla is the most prominent representative of our cultural potential in the field of science and technology. He will serve generations as an example of how they should work not only for their own benefit and their immediate surroundings, but also for the benefit of all humanity.
