Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. High-Frequency Electricity, Wireless Power, and the Origins of Electrical EngineeringBy Nikola Tesla
Length6h 3m
About this audiobook
Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency presents Nikola Tesla's landmark investigations into electrical phenomena beyond the limits of ordinary nineteenth-century apparatus. Based on his celebrated 1892 lecture before the Institution of Electrical Engineers, the work combines experimental demonstration, theoretical speculation, and lucid technical exposition. Tesla describes resonant circuits, induction coils, luminous vacuum tubes, wireless transmission prospects, and the physiological effects of high-frequency currents. Its style is at once scientific and visionary, situated within the electrical revolution that transformed modern power, communication, and physics. Tesla, born in Smiljan in 1856 and trained in engineering in the Austro-Hungarian milieu, brought to electrical science an unusual union of mathematical intuition, practical inventiveness, and theatrical presentation. His work on alternating-current motors and polyphase systems had already challenged Edison's direct-current model. This volume reflects Tesla's desire not merely to improve existing machines, but to reveal electricity as a universal medium capable of reshaping industry, medicine, illumination, and communication. Readers interested in the origins of modern electrical engineering, wireless technology, and scientific imagination will find this book indispensable. It rewards both technically minded readers and historians of innovation, offering a rare glimpse into a mind that turned experiment into prophecy.
