Customer Reviews

another very satisfied customer

This was the second TESLA BOOK I got for my grandson. He and I were surprised to receive it well ahead of stated delivery time and we are very pleased with its quality and my grandson is enjoying his book.I have not been a purchaser until these deliveries but I am already looking at other purchases such was the great service and the clarity of the buying instructions. Cheers, Graeme Stanley New Zealand.

Good book for Tesla fans

I found this book to be quite informative and satisfying. The only thing I hate about it, was Ch. 9. It was total nonsense, however, let it not ruin the whole book. It may not go into great detail about all of Tesla's inventions (which was a dissapointment), but for those whom are interested in Tesla coils, mainly how Tesla finally came to such a beautiful invention, I highly recommend this book. The book mainly is about Tesla's experiments with alternate currents of high potential and frequency, which is how the Tesla coil was born.(However, this book does not mention the Tesla coil or teaches you how to make one). It is heavily illustrated with diagrams of Tesla's inventions, which I found pleasing (however, the diagrams arent explained, so do not expect to be able to duplicate any inventions after reading this book ). Overall, this book should not necesscarily teach you all about Tesla's invention (most of them are either briefly mentioned or illustrated), but it would greatly inform you about what Tesla was famous for, and especially act as an excellent introduction to the marvelous work's of Nikola Tesla.

Good patent info, Some far-fetched themes are covered.

This book provides much information of Telsa's patents. AC motor and other apparatus are covered, the bulk of the book pertains to Tesla's "Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Frequency and High Potential" Wireless power and "Death Ray" are critiqued. The other stuff in the book (Atlantis, Mars, saucers, etc.) seems to be almost purely speculative and should be taken with a generous grain of salt. In the end there is a copy of the supreme court documents associated with the demolition of Wardencyffe Tower. Adam Parker

This book is fascinating but lacks instructions.

This book is good for you if you wan't to learn more about Nikol Tesla, but if you are researching his inventions or attempting to build them, it won't help you. For the most part it is a good book it just depends on what you are looking for.

Not for ostriches!

Nikola Tesla is a man misplaced by time. He belongs in the future. He wanted to bring free power to the World using superior technology, opposed to the current system we use, that HE designed. J. P. Morgan, Tesla's financer, pulled the plug on the project due to money considerations. The book presents several of Tesla's patents, and details a few of his major projects.
