In the following I shall consider three exceptionally interesting errors in the interpretation and application of physical phenomena which have for years dominated the minds of experts and men of science. 1. The Illusion of the Axial Rotation of the Moon. 2. The Fallacy of Franklin's Pointed Lightning-Rod. 3. The Singular Misconception of the Wireless. Tesla is well known for his inventions, speeches and articles, many of which are readily available....

Nikola Tesla was one of history's greatest scientists, and though he is best known for his pioneering work with electricity, the fact that he is mostly remembered solely for that actually does a disservice to his legacy. Born a Serb in the Austrian Empire, Tesla came to the United States and worked in a laboratory for none other than the Wizard of Menlo Park, Thomas Edison. It was through his work on behalf of Edison that Tesla flourished and became...

Nikola Tesla was a genius who revolutionized how the world looks at electricity. During college, his professors explained that it was impossible to design an engine without commutators or brushes. Tesla was unconvinced that such was necessary or even particularly desirable. It was then that Tesla began his work on the rotating field motor that ultimately gave birth to the modern age. In May of 1888, Tesla delivered his lecture "A New System of Alternating...

Tesla says the orthodox Herzian radio theory we've been taught is a fiction. He insists that the amount of energy that can be transmitted is "billions of times greater" than conventional radio would allow. "I gave the world a wireless system of potentialities far beyond anything before conceived... transmission absolutely unlimited as to terrestrial distance and amount of energy." Can we transmit electric power without wires? Can the unsightly and...

Part philosophical ponderings on humanity's relationship to the universe, part scientific extrapolation on what technological advancement might bring to that understanding, this long essay, first published in Century Illustrated Magazine in June 1900, is yet another example of the genius of Serbian inventor NIKOLA TESLA (1857-1943), the revolutionary scientist who forever changed the scientific fields of electricity and magnetism.

Nikola Tesla was a genius, who revolutionized how the world looks at electricity. "For ages this idea [that each of us is only part of a whole] has been proclaimed in the consummately wise teachings of religion, probably not alone as a means of insuring peace and harmony among men, but as a deeply founded truth. The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one."
