Tesla's Experiments with Alternating Currents (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Including Tesla's AutobiographyBy Nikola Tesla
Length10h 30m
About this audiobook
Tesla's Experiments with Alternating Currents presents the inventor's investigations into high-frequency electrical phenomena with the clarity and drama of a public scientific lecture. Combining technical exposition, experimental description, and visionary speculation, the work situates alternating current not merely as an engineering system but as a transformative force in modern civilization. Its style is lucid yet elevated, moving between precise accounts of coils, lamps, and discharges and broader reflections on energy, transmission, and the future of electrical science. Nikola Tesla, born in 1856 in Smiljan and trained in engineering in Central Europe, brought to this subject both mathematical discipline and an extraordinary experimental imagination. His work in America, especially after his break with Edison and collaboration with George Westinghouse, made him the central advocate of alternating-current power. The book reflects his lifelong ambition to liberate electricity from local mechanical limits and make it available across distance, scale, and industry. This volume is recommended for readers interested in the history of technology, electrical engineering, and scientific modernity. It offers not only a record of crucial experiments but also direct access to Tesla's intellectual daring and prophetic sense of possibility.
