Tesla For Beginners

Many of these patents resulted in functioning inventions; others were little more than wide-eyed dreams—or still await possible development. Tesla For Beginners examines the man behind the alternating current and wireless technologies who traveled from Serbia by steamship to arrive in the United States with only four cents in his pocket. It was in the early 1880s at the tail end of the Industrial Revolution and the beginning of the Second Industrial Revolution that America beckoned him.Nikola Tesla—a poet of invention—left behind a vast and intriguing legacy. He was a scientist physicist mathematician electrical engineer and extensively published author who spent his last decades scraping for funding for celestial projects and living out his final days in penurious solitude with a pigeon.
