NIKOLA TESLA was a gifted electrical and mechanical engineer, and was one of the most influential inventors of the last century. Eventually holding over 700 patents, Tesla worked in a number of fields, including electricity, robotics, radar, and the wireless transmission of energy. His discoveries laid the groundwork for many of the twentieth century’s greatest technological advances. This book contains Tesla’s thoughts on humanity’s relationship with the universe, and also his explanation and scientific extrapolation on the technological advancements embodied in his work. This text, first published in Century Illustrated Magazine in June 1900, is yet another example of the genius of Nikola Tesla.

"Nikola Tesla on free energy & wireless transmission of power"--Cover.

The Problem of Increasing Human Energy is an essay written by Nikola Tesla to honor his agreement with the editor of The Century Magazine to produce an article on his findings. In this essay Tesla explained the superiority of the wireless system he envisioned, but the article was more of a lengthy philosophical treatise than an understandable scientific description of his work. He contemplates on how a man should utilize his time and body, what makes a man productive in his highest capacity, and what increases man's "energy" in the human capacity. Tesla approaches human potential energy from the physics perspective tying it to the mass, speed, and removal of retarding forces. When human civilization was just starting to impact the natural world, Tesla was already worrying about problems of overpopulating and running out unrenewable resources. He was not only pointing this out, but he was already working out the solutions.

This book explains what I have called "the Tesla Code"; the way Nikola Tesla communicates his theories and greatest invention with the future. Tesla's most important and famous article "the Problem of Increasing Human Energy" seems at first a vague and philosophical text. Not at all what you'd want to see from the foremost expert on electricity in his days. But this article contains a message that has been long overlooked by everyone searching for his secrets.Nikola Tesla hid his secrets in plain sight. Please also have a look at my other books "Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter - recreating Tesla's dream" which deals with the construction and operation details of the Magnifying Transmitter, and "The Battle for Wardenclyffe" which shows the story of the Wardenclyffe project using the letters Tesla wrote during that time. The price of this book includes a small donation for my research and hopefully one day, we will build the power plant that Tesla envisioned.

Serbian inventor Nikola Tesla (1857-1943), was a revolutionary scientist who forever changed the scientific fields of electricity and magnetism. This book is part philosophy and part scientific exploration of humanity's interaction with the universe.

"[A] penetrating biography…Munson makes vivid the genius’s eventful life." —Barbara Kiser, Nature Nikola Tesla invented radio, robots, and remote control. His electric induction motors run our appliances and factories. In the early 1900s, he designed plans for cell phones, the Internet, death-ray weapons, and interstellar communication. His ideas have lived on to shape the modern economy, yet he has been largely overlooked by history. In Tesla, Richard Munson presents a comprehensive portrait of this farsighted and underappreciated mastermind. Drawing on letters, technological notebooks, and other primary sources, Munson pieces together the magnificently bizarre personal life and mental habits of the enigmatic inventor whose most famous inventions were the product of a mind fueled by both the humanities and sciences—Tesla conceived the induction motor while walking through a park and reciting Goethe’s Faust. Clear, authoritative, and highly readable, Tesla takes into account all the phases of Tesla’s remarkable life and career.
