Nikola Tesla slideshow: Images and articles from Tesla's writings

John Ratzlaff compiled 25 years of research on Nikola Tesla in his book, “Tesla Said” (now out of print with one used copy on Amazon last time I looked for $350). The book is a collection including photocopies of original newspaper and magazine articles and other documents written by Tesla from 1888 to 1939.

In this slideshow, we present a sampling of images and excerpts from this collection, which are all obtainable on the Internet. The image files included here were graciously provided by John Piliounis, a physicist/electronics engineer in Athens, Hellas (Greece).

Some examples of the articles in this book include:

• "On the Dissipation of the Electrical Energy of the Hertz Resonator"
• "Application of Tubes of High Illuminating Power to Photography and Other Purposes"
• "The Transmission of Electrical Energy Without Wire As a Means for Furthering Peace"
• "Nikola Tesla's Plan to Keep 'Wireless Thumb' on Ships at Sea"
