Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla, 1894 Book

This rating needs qualifications. As just a read, this was a three star for me; I am in no way an electrician or engineer, so much of the content was beyond me. However, as a read on electricity and engineering, it is a five star read. I would recommend to anyone interested in electricity, energy, or innovations.

Though admittedly beyond my knowledge base, I did pick up enough to recognize Tesla's genius at harnessing the energy that abounds in our world. Tesla himself testifies to the energy filling all the world and filling us. His observations on the eye were a highlight for me. His use of magnets and reversing poles to keep large objects in motion so they can power other objects was and is nothing short of brilliant. Once he figured out a few principles, he was able to vary them for different purposes. In addition, his experimentation in light bulbs and luminosity contain vast insights into objects we now take for granted.

Without Tesla's work, I cannot imagine how far behind we would be in our ability to use electricity.
