(Thomas Commerford) 08011989 The inventions, researches and writings of Nikola Tesla With special reference to his work in polyphase currents and high potential lighting Produced by Anna Hall, Albert László and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla" by Thomas Commerford Martin is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive overview of Nikola Tesla's contributions to electrical engineering, focusing particularly on his work with polyphase currents and high potential lighting systems. It captures the essence of Tesla's groundbreaking inventions and theoretical advancements in electricity, providing insights into the mind of one of history's most innovative electrical engineers. At the start of this text, the author provides a preface that sets the stage for focusing on the electrical challenges of the time, namely the efficient transmission of power and improvements in illumination technology. The opening chapters detail Tesla's early life and education, highlighting his transition from academic pursuits to practical experimentation, which led him to the United States in search of greater opportunities. The narrative conveys his initial challenges and triumphs in demonstrating the viability of alternating currents and polyphase systems, reflecting on how these foundational concepts were integral to the development of modern electrical engineering. The beginning lays a solid foundation for understanding the depth and significance of Tesla's research and its lasting impact on the world.
