About this listen
Nikola Tesla pursued his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments. Tesla explained the principles of the rotating magnetic field in an induction motor by demonstrating how to make a copper egg stand on end using a device he constructed known as the Egg of Columbus and introduced his new steam-powered oscillator AC generator.
Inside, you’ll hear about:
- A promising intellect
- Health complications
- Inventive work
- A troubled mind
- Unusual experiences
- Mental breakdown
- Controversial viewpoints
- A forgotten mind
- From breakdown to brainstorm
- Overshadowed by rivals
- Death of a forgotten mind
- And much more!
Based on Tesla's new ideas for electrical equipment, including a thermomagnetic motor idea, Alfred S. Brown and Charles F. Peck formed the Tesla Electric Company. Nikola Tesla developed an induction motor that ran on alternating current (AC), a power-system format that was rapidly expanding in Europe and the US because of its advantages in long-distance, high-voltage transmission.

Tesla was an extremely interesting person.
Nikola Tesla is a far more interesting, quirky character than I had previously realized. In this autobiography, he talks about his mental and physical health as well as family relationships.
