Tesla's Lecture Illustrated

in #science6 years ago (edited)

On May 20th, 1891 Nikola Tesla delivered an epic lecture before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers titled: Experiments with Alternate Currents of Very High Frequency and Their Application to Methods of Artificial Illumination

I think this is a most brilliant lecture. Today we can still read its text, but a lecture, and especially one by Nikola Tesla, is so much more than just text. Tesla liked to throw in some stunning demonstrations, and since in his days there was no youtube all that is now lost.

Today a small fraction has been recovered. Kyle dell'Aquila has added hundreds of illustrations to this text that will take you back in time and give you a glimpse of what this lecture may have looked like.
This is all combined into a beautiful soft cover photobook that is now available on blurb.com.
You can also download a PDF, but this is the kind of book that you want to be able to hold in your hands. It is a must have for all who are interested in Tesla. In fact, to use Tesla's own words:

There is no subject more captivating, more worthy of study, than nature. To understand this great mechanism, to discover the forces which are active, and the laws which govern them, is the highest aim of the intellect of man.

Sort:  

This is one of the things that everyone that says Tesla was a con artist miss.
Tesla showed things off to all kinds of groups of people. Many newspaper reported on what they saw him do.

Things like 100 foot long lightening arcs on command.

Ask one of these ivory towered scientists to repeat just that single performance. You will find they can't. They can't even fake it.

Further, the variety and quantity of things he showed... Tesla would have had to work non-stop on building things to fool the public.

Exactly what I sometimes say to disbelievers.
There is no way that Tesla could electrify the ground in all of New York (at his time) if Earth resonance was impossible! Still modern scientists refuse to believe it.

These drawings are really nice !
Thanks for the info.

Looks like a fine book!

@creatr

They should install some sort of bell-button as in youtube. :)
I'm currently working on analysing the results of my TMT-tests. It looks like we have been too successful. The results go against Maxwell and Einstein... In fact so did Tesla, though he kept sort of quiet about Maxwell...
Modern scientists will never accept this....

My friend, I appreciate your work and your insights.
Thanks for sharing here on Steemit!

@therealwolf 's created platform smartsteem scammed my post this morning (mothersday) that was supposed to be for an Abused Childrens Charity. Dude literally stole from abused children that don't have mothers ... on mothersday.
