Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) fue un profeta de la era electrónica. Sus investigaciones sentaron gran parte de las bases de los sistemas eléctricos y de comunicación modernos, y entre sus impresionantes logros figuran el desarrollo del sistema electrico de corriente alterna, la radio, el transformador de bobina de Tesla, la transmision inalambrica y la iluminacion fluorescente. Las investigaciones de Tesla fueron tan revolucionarias que muchos de sus contemporaneos no las entendieron y se atribuyen injustamente sus innovaciones a otros cientificos. El cientifico visionario se sincera en este volumen, publicado originalmente como una serie de seis articulos en la revista Electrical Experimenter. Tesla relata su infancia en Croacia, su educacion y trabajo en Europa, su colaboracion con Thomas Edison y sus posteriores investigaciones. Escritas con ingenio y brio, estas memorias ofrecen una vision fascinante de una de las grandes mentes de la ciencia moderna.

Esta edicion cuenta con una cronologia completa,año, por año de la vida del gran genio, y un quien esquien de los personajes contemporaneos a Tesla:pequeñas biografias de los empresarios, amigos yconocidos que se cruzaron en la vida del inventor,como: Mark Twain, J.P. Morgan, Westinghouse,Edison, etc. Como curiosidad para los mas teslianos, en el librose incluye la ultima nota escrita por Tesla que seencontro en su mesilla tras su muerte.Nikola Tesla ha pasado a la historia como el inventorde la corriente alterna, el perdedor de la guerra delas corrientes contra Edison, el paradigma del genioincomprendido al que la historia hace justicia siglosdespues. Hoy disfruta de una segunda juventud, conel interes de las generaciones mas jovenes y con laactualidad de muchas de sus teorias visionarias sobrela comunicacion inalambrica y el uso responsable de laenergia.Nikola Tesla (Smiljan, actual Croacia, 1856 - Nueva York,1943) es el paradigma del inventor genial, la mente creativasin perspicacia para los negocios, y su vida es la historia deun fogonazo de luz que ilumino a todos los que lo rodearon,para apagarse de forma tristey resurgir hoy, con sureconocimiento como el padre de la tecnologia moderna.Miguel A. Delgado (Oviedo, 1971) es escritor y criticocinemato-grafico, experto en la figura de Tesla y en culturapopular. Es autor de Ya no se hacen peliculas como las deantes pero no importa (Laria, 2009) y su obra de ficcionaparece en la antologia Trece por docena (Caballo de Troya,2005) y la introduccion a Yo y la energia (Turner, 2011)

Dieser lange Aufsatz, der erstmals im Juni 1900 im Century Illustrated Magazine veroffentlicht wurde, ist ein weiteres Beispiel fur das Genie des serbischen Erfinders NIKOLA TESLA (1857-1943), des revolutionaren Wissenschaftlers, der die wissenschaftlichen Bereiche Elektrizitat und Magnetismus fur immer veranderte. Von den Moglichkeiten der Robotik bis zur "zivilisatorischen Potenz des Aluminiums", von einem "selbsttatigen Motor" bis zu einem der ersten Vorschlage, die Sonnenenergie fur den Betrieb der industriellen Zivilisation zu nutzen, und vieles mehr - dies ist ein weitreichender, aber erhellender Einblick in die Gedanken eines unbesungenen Helden der wissenschaftlichen Philosophie.

Parte reflexões filosóficas sobre a relação da humanidade com o universo, parte extrapolação científica sobre o que o avanço tecnológico pode trazer a esse entendimento, este longo ensaio, publicado

In parte riflessione filosofica sul rapporto dellumanita con luniverso, in parte estrapolazione scientifica su cio che il progresso tecnologico potrebbe apportare a tale comprensione, questo lungo saggio, pubblicato per la prima volta sul Century Illustrated Magazine nel giugno del 1900, e un altro esempio del genio dellinventore serbo NIKOLA TESLA (1857-1943), lo scienziato rivoluzionario che ha cambiato per sempre i campi scientifici dellelettricita e del magnetismo. Dalle possibilita offerte dalla robotica alla "potenza civilizzatrice dellalluminio", da un "motore che agisce da solo" a una delle prime proposte di utilizzo dellenergia solare per il funzionamento della civilta industriale, e molto altro ancora, questo e uno sguardo ampio ma illuminante sui pensieri di un eroe non celebrato della filosofia scientifica.

À la fois réflexion philosophique sur la relation de lhumanité avec lunivers et extrapolation scientifique sur ce que les progrès technologiques pourraient apporter à cette compréhension, ce long ess

Part philosophical ponderings on humanitys 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. From the possibilities presented by robotics to the "civilizing potency of aluminum," from a "self-acting engine" to one of the first proposals to use solar power to run industrial civilization, and much more, this is a wide-ranging but illuminating look into the thoughts of an unsung hero of scientific philosophy."Of all the endless variety of phenomena which nature presents to our senses, there is none that fills our minds with greater wonder than that inconceivably complex movement which, in its entirety, we designate as human life; Its mysterious origin is veiled in the forever impenetrable mist of the past, its character is rendered incomprehensible by its infinite intricacy, and its destination is hidden in the unfathomable depths of the future. Whence does it come? What is it? Whither does it tend? are the great questions which the sages of all times have endeavored to answer."- Nikola Tesla, The Problem of Increasing Human Energy

My Inventions - The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla is a book compiled and edited by Ben Johnston detailing the work of Nikola Tesla. The content was largely drawn from a series of articles that Nikola Tesla had written for Electrical Experimenter magazine in 1919, when he was 63 years old. Teslas personal account is divided into six chapters covering different periods of his life: My Early Life, My First Efforts At Invention, My Later Endeavors, The Discovery of the Rotating Magnetic Field, The Discovery of the Tesla Coil and Transformer, The Magnifying Transmitter, and The Art of Telautomatics.Nikola Tesla (1856 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical and mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla studied engineering and physics in the 1870s, gaining practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. In 1884 he emigrated to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen.Throughout the 1890s, Tesla pursued his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado Springs. In 1893, he made pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communication with his devices. Tesla tried to put these ideas to practical use in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project, an intercontinental wireless communication and power transmitter, but ran out of funding before he could complete it.On January 7 1943, at the age of 86, Tesla died alone in Room 3327 of the Hotel New Yorker, in the neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. His body was found by maid Alice Monaghan when she entered Teslas room, ignoring the do not disturb sign that Tesla had placed on his door two days earlier. Assistant medical examiner H.W. Wembley examined the body and ruled that the cause of death had been coronary thrombosis (a type of heart attack).Two days later the Federal Bureau of Investigation ordered the property custodian to seize Teslas belongings. John G. Trump, a professor at M.I.T. and a well-known electrical engineer serving as a technical aide to the National Defense Research Committee, was called in to analyze the Tesla items. After a three-day investigation, Trumps report concluded that there was nothing which would constitute a hazard in unfriendly hands, stating: His thoughts and efforts during at least the past 15 years were primarily of a speculative, philosophical, and somewhat promotional character often concerned with the production and wireless transmission of power; but did not include new, sound, workable principles or methods for realizing such results.This is the official version, which has been disseminated to the mass media and public opinion. A version that many have never believed.Teslas work fell into relative obscurity following his death, until 1960, when the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the International System of Units (SI) measurement of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor. There has been a resurgence in popular interest in Tesla since the 1990s.Beyond these brief biographical information, we can say that Nikola Tesla was an extraordinary scientific genius, a precursor, a modern Leonardo Da Vinci. Many argue that a large part of his inventions have been classified by the US government for understandable economic and military reasons.The name of Nikola Tesla has now entered into legend and has become synonymous with scientific revolution, free energy and future.Nikola Tesla, in his studies and research, has also dealt with the extraterrestrial issue and life on other planets. On February 19, 1901 he published the short essay Talking with Planets in Colliers Weekly magazine, an essay that today we re-propose to modern readers.

He was also very fascinated by the idea that the planet Mars could be inhabited by a civilization capable of communicating with us or receiving our communications. For this he studied and hypothesized potential systems to communicate with the Red Planet. We re-proposed to modern readers two articles on this topic, which Nikola Tesla published in 1907 in the Harvard Illustrated Magazine and in 1909 in the New York Times.

Este largo ensayo, publicado por primera vez en Century Illustrated Magazine en junio de 1900, es una muestra más del genio del inventor serbio NIKOLA TESLA (1857-1943), el científico revolucionario que cambio para siempre los campos cientificos de la electricidad y el magnetismo. Desde las posibilidades que presenta la robotica hasta la "potencia civilizadora del aluminio", pasando por un "motor que actua por si mismo" y una de las primeras propuestas para utilizar la energia solar para hacer funcionar la civilizacion industrial, y mucho mas, se trata de una mirada amplia pero esclarecedora a los pensamientos de un heroe desconocido de la filosofia cientifica.
