Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency (Paperback)

Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency is a transcript of a lecture that Tesla gave to the London society of electrical engineers pertaining to his experiments with alternate currents of high potential and high frequency. Included in this book is a short biographical sketch of Tesla. Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of the development of electricity as we know it today and of particular interest to those with a background in engineering or a physical science. This version of Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency includes Tesla's original illustrations. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer. He was an important contributor to the birth of commercial electricity, and is best known for developing the modern alternating current (AC) electrical supply system. Tesla's patents and theoretical work also formed the basis of wireless communication and the radio.
