| electrical experimenter magazine tesla: Tesla W. Bernard Carlson, 2015-04-27 “The gold standard for Tesla biography.”—Science “Superb.”—Nature The definitive account of Tesla's life and work Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the twentieth century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius. Even at the end of his life when he was living in poverty, Tesla still attracted reporters to his annual birthday interview, regaling them with claims that he had invented a particle-beam weapon capable of bringing down enemy aircraft. Plenty of biographies glamorize Tesla and his eccentricities, but until now none has carefully examined what, how, and why he invented. In this groundbreaking book, W. Bernard Carlson demystifies the legendary inventor, placing him within the cultural and technological context of his time, and focusing on his inventions themselves as well as the creation and maintenance of his celebrity. Drawing on original documents from Tesla's private and public life, Carlson shows how he was an idealist inventor who sought the perfect experimental realization of a great idea or principle, and who skillfully sold his inventions to the public through mythmaking and illusion. This major biography sheds new light on Tesla's visionary approach to invention and the business strategies behind his most important technological breakthroughs. |

| electrical experimenter magazine tesla: Nikola Tesla and the Electrical Future Iwan Rhys Morus, 2019-07-04 '[This] crisply succinct, beautifully synthesized study brings to life Tesla, his achievements and failures...and the hopeful thrum of an era before world wars.' - Nature Nikola Tesla is one of the most enigmatic, curious and controversial figures in the history of science. An electrical pioneer as influential in his own way as Thomas Edison, he embodied the aspirations and paradoxes of an age of innovation that seemed to have the future firmly in its grasp. In an era that saw the spread of power networks and wireless telegraphy, the discovery of X-rays, and the birth of powered flight, Tesla made himself synonymous with the electrical future under construction but opinion was often divided as to whether he was a visionary, a charlatan, or a fool. Iwan Rhys Morus examines Tesla's life in the context of the extraordinary times in which he lived and worked, colourfully evoking an age in which anything seemed possible, from capturing the full energy of Niagara to communicating with Mars. Shattering the myth of the 'man out of time', Morus demonstrates that Tesla was in all ways a product of his era, and shows how the popular image of the inventor-as-maverick-outsider was deliberately crafted by Tesla - establishing an archetype that still resonates today. |

| electrical experimenter magazine tesla: My Inventions Nikola Tesla, 2009 In 1919, Nikola Tesla wrote several articles for the magazine The Electrical Experimenter. These pieces have been gathered together here. In the last few decades of his life, he ended up living in diminished circumstances as a recluse in Room 3327 of the New Yorker Hotel, occasionally making unusual statements to the press. Because of his pronouncements and the nature of his work over the years, Tesla gained a reputation in popular culture as the archetypal ‘mad scientist’. He died impoverished and in debt on January 7, 1943. When he passed, Tesla didn’t leave behind much material for the general public. Also, he didn’t have many close friends who would have had insight into his life sufficient to write about him. Since My Inventions is an autobiography, it is 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. My Inventions is a required read for anyone wanting to know more about one of the greatest inventors of the 20th century – and perhaps of all time.

| electrical experimenter magazine tesla: George Westinghouse William R. Huber, 2022-02-14 While most know Thomas Edison for his invention of the light bulb, his counterpart, George Westinghouse, is too often overlooked. Westinghouse, however, became known as one of the most prolific inventors and businessmen of the Industrial Revolution. This biography reveals the man whose teachers suspected was mentally disabled and who quit college after one semester, yet founded more than 60 different companies employing 50,000 people, and received 361 U.S. patents. He later fought the Battle of the Currents (AC vs. DC) with Thomas Edison and won. Westinghouse, with his engineers, provided power and light for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. They harnessed the massive power of Niagara Falls and sent it over wires to light Buffalo and eventually the Northeast. His electric engines powered trains, and his air brakes stopped them. His scientific contributions forever changed the world. |
| electrical experimenter magazine tesla: Tesla Marko Perko, Stephen M Stahl, 2022-05-01 The enigmatic Nikola Tesla—stalked by his ever-present inner demons—invents the modern world. His astonishing story is that of a new-age god, a genius, a Zeus, a wonderful Wizard, yet a deeply troubled one. He tames the mysterious force called “electricity;” he dazzles the world with his endless inventions and discoveries; he blazes new paths in science that profoundly impact our daily lives; he turns fantasies into realities; his thought experiments disrupt scientific norms; he gives us many of the indispensable tools we use today; and famous actresses and chanteuses clamor for his attention as powerful men desire to be his friend . . . all before an astonished world. Yet all the while he keeps his own counsel, as he simultaneously struggles with the challenging consequences of bipolar disorder: flights of manic energy alternating with depressive depths of great despair. He shuns the clichés of a quotidian life, while forever seeking to “lift the burdens from the shoulders of mankind.” It would become his lifelong leitmotif, but at what cost to him? The authors Marko Perko and Stephen M. Stahl, M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc., propose a “new- style biography” entitled T E S L A: His Tremendous and Troubled Life. They will examine Nikola Tesla in a manner that has yet to be accomplished in publishing history―asking and answering the seminal question: Who was the real man with an extremely complex psyche/personality, who lived with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and a hyperthymic temperament spilling over at times into high flying bipolar mania and then crashing into devastating depression—and not simply the iconoclastic scientist who invented the modern world? |
| electrical experimenter magazine tesla: Tesla Margaret Cheney, 2011-11-08 In this “informative and delightful” (American Scientist) biography, Margaret Cheney explores the brilliant and prescient mind of Nikola Tesla, one of the twentieth century’s greatest scientists and inventors. In Tesla: Man Out of Time, Margaret Cheney explores the brilliant and prescient mind of one of the twentieth century's greatest scientists and inventors. Called a madman by his enemies, a genius by others, and an enigma by nearly everyone, Nikola Tesla was, without a doubt, a trailblazing inventor who created astonishing, sometimes world-transforming devices that were virtually without theoretical precedent. Tesla not only discovered the rotating magnetic field -- the basis of most alternating-current machinery -- but also introduced us to the fundamentals of robotics, computers, and missile science. Almost supernaturally gifted, unfailingly flamboyant and neurotic, Tesla was troubled by an array of compulsions and phobias and was fond of extravagant, visionary experimentations. He was also a popular man-about-town, admired by men as diverse as Mark Twain and George Westinghouse, and adored by scores of society beauties. From Tesla's childhood in Yugoslavia to his death in New York in the 1940s, Cheney paints a compelling human portrait and chronicles a lifetime of discoveries that radically altered -- and continue to alter -- the world in which we live. Tesla: Man Out of Time is an in-depth look at the seminal accomplishments of a scientific wizard and a thoughtful examination of the obsessions and eccentricities of the man behind the science. |

| electrical experimenter magazine tesla: America's U-Boats Chris Dubbs, 2014-11-01 The submarine was one of the most revolutionary weapons of World War I, inciting both terror and fascination for militaries and civilians alike. During the war, after U-boats sank the Lusitania and began daring attacks on shipping vessels off the East Coast, the American press dubbed these weapons “Hun Devil Boats,” “Sea Thugs,” and “Baby Killers.” But at the conflict’s conclusion, the U.S. Navy acquired six U-boats to study and to serve as war souvenirs. Until their destruction under armistice terms in 1921, these six U-boats served as U.S. Navy ships, manned by American crews. The ships visited eighty American cities to promote the sale of victory bonds and to recruit sailors, allowing hundreds of thousands of Americans to see up close the weapon that had so captured the public’s imagination.

| electrical experimenter magazine tesla: What We've Forgotten Amy Miranda, 2025-03-10 What We’ve Forgotten is an ancient text for modern times that promises to undermine systems of oppression through the power of wonder and magic available to us all. Meeting at the intersection of social justice, technology, and witchery, it’s magic book for the tech world that takes readers on an active quest through the cosmos of consciousness. Shining new light on the old ways, What We’ve Forgotten is a choose your own adventure book of real magic. Amy Miranda leads readers through a Temple of Wonder in an active meditation where each chapter is a different room. Amy takes us through portals in the cosmos of consciousness most of us have forgotten to reconnect us all into the deep magic of life. Unlike most books on magic, What We’ve Forgotten recreates the mystery and adventure of deep journey work, leading readers to their deepest memories and hidden truths. Amy Miranda is not your usual witch – unless your witch quotes Public Enemy while communing with ascended masters. Amy always knew she was a magician – just not the kind that pulled rabbits out of hats, rather the kind that invited people down the rabbit hole. In What We’ve Forgotten, that invite is extended to us all, creating a literary VR-experience where readers will remember their very own magic. In this heartbreaking and hilarious work Amy shares the historical, scientific (she will definitely take readers to Nerdtown), and cultural traditions which ground the work of cosmic consciousness, and its interdimensional exploration. Through this experience, readers will not only have the opportunity to engage with their own cosmic consciousness, but begin to see that our world can achieve collective liberation not only through the disengagement with systems of oppression, but through the re-engagement of wonder, and enchantment that lives within us all. “Amy Miranda is relentless in her revealing of the power of art, written word and fact ..freeing people from the chains of The Uninvited. This book connects us. “ – Chuck D, Public Enemy ” In her brilliant book “What We’ve Forgotten”, Amy Miranda invites you to join her into a temple of remembering. The book takes us back into the adventure and ceremonies that hold the promise of how we can bring in magic and the goodness of life. What a beautiful way to work. Amy Miranda will inspire you to engage in spiritual practices so you can see the illusion we have been living in and with the assistance of spiritual practices we achieve collective liberation, a deep connection with nature, and a renewed love for life. What We’ve Forgotten will change readers’ lives and is such an important book for the times we live in as we learn how to heal ourselves, enliven our connection with Nature, and connect with Source. This book is like a guided tour leading readers to their deepest wonders and hidden treasures. And it is also beautifully written. Amy’s challenging beginnings ended up polishing her soul and spirit so she could be a leader for these times. ” – Sandra Ingerman, MA, Counseling Psychology international shamanic teacher and an award winning author of 12 books including “Medicine for the Earth” and “The Book of Ceremony” “What We’ve Forgotten is a deeply personal and—dare I say it—truly fun exploration of magic and mysticism. Amy’s sparkling wit and down-to-earth explanations provide an optimistic, friendly, engaging DIY guide to working with the magical realities both outside and within each of us. “ – Michael M. Hughes, author of Magic for the Resistance: Rituals and Spells for Change. “Reading Amy Miranda’s book is like having a deep talk over tea on a rainy afternoon with a dear friend. Her wisdom and experience shine through on the page. An absolute must read.” – Heather Matarazzo, Actress, Writer, Human Being |

| electrical experimenter magazine tesla: Death Rays and the Popular Media, 1876-1939 William J. Fanning, Jr., 2015-08-01 Death rays! Absurd idea peddled by con artists and amateurs and promoted by a sensationalist press? Not quite. Government and military leaders and mainstream scientists endorsed the possibility of such a fantastic weapon in the years before World War II. A concept born out of research with electricity and other energy sources, the death ray or directed energy weapon was widely reported for nearly five decades. Claims for its invention appeared as early as 1876, and increased thereafter, until the death-ray craze of the 1920s and 1930s. The idea influenced fiction, making its way from newspapers and magazines into novels, short stories, films, theatrical productions and other media. This book takes a first-ever look at the historical death ray and its impact on fiction and popular culture. |
