About the book
In My Inventions, Tesla retraces his childhood, education, first experiments, and the discoveries that would transform the world. He describes his exceptional powers of visualization, his meeting with Edison, the rotating magnetic field, his high-frequency research, and his dream of worldwide wireless energy transmission.
Far more than a sequence of memories, this autobiography opens a fascinating window onto an extraordinary inventor’s inner workings. Tesla built, modified, and tested machines in his imagination before constructing the first physical model.
Across six chapters, readers encounter:
- Tesla’s singular childhood and intellectual formation.
- His earliest inventions and most dangerous experiments.
- The rotating magnetic field and the development of alternating current.
- The Tesla coil, magnifying transmitter, remote control, automatons, and wireless transmission.
This enriched edition includes six beautiful full-color visual guides—one per chapter—making Tesla’s life, inventions, and major ideas clear, memorable, and accessible.
Part autobiography, part history of science, and part journey into a genius’s mind, My Inventions is essential testimony from the man who already envisioned global communication, autonomous machines, and energy transmitted across the planet.
