The original title: "Nikolai Tesla, the" science geek "who is known as the closest to God in history: strength makes it impossible for me to keep a low profile.

The only thing that can hinder the process of my invention is the law of nature, that is, the world is not ready for these inventions. My invention is too advanced, but one day, it will become the mainstream technology of the world and win the final victory.

-- Nikolai Tesla

Nikolai Tesla sits in his Colorado Springs lab radio systems, radio energy transmission, radio remote control technology, radios, fax machines, vacuum tube neon lights, spherical lightning, turbines, artificial intelligence, amplifying transmitters, particle beam weapons, solar engines, X-ray equipment, power meters, missile science, aircraft, cosmic ray radar systems, Nearly a hundred technologies, such as robots, are closely related to him.

The free and open AC system benefits all mankind.

He has obtained more than 700 invention patents alone, and cooperated with other scientists to achieve more than 1000 inventions.

Proficient in eight languages: Serbian, English, Czech, German, French, Hungarian, Italian, Latin.

The above is the strength of the "science geek" Nikolai Tesla really can not keep a low profile.

Because of the contribution of his invention to the world, some people call him a scientific giant on a par with Leonardo da Vinci and Einstein, and some even call him "the last scientific prophet in the world".

The classic new book, autobiography of Tesla, not only tells the context of the above achievements, but also describes some anecdotes with humorous and witty strokes.

Nikolai Tesla

The autobiography of Tesla 01, the relationship between Tesla and Edison has always been a topic that people like to talk about: why they went their separate ways, the origin of the Nobel Prize, and a completely different view of wealth. There is another little thing in Tesla's autobiography that makes people laugh:

One winter night in 1885, I went to the company's office opposite 65 Fifth Avenue with Mr. Edison, Edward H. Johnson, chairman of the Edison Lighting Company, and Mr. Buttercello, the manager. Someone suggested guessing someone else's weight and then asking me to stand on the scale. Edison touched my whole body carefully and then said, "Tesla weighs 152 pounds, accurate to ounces!"

He guessed so well! My net weight was 142 pounds then, and I still am. I asked Mr. Johnson quietly, "how could Edison guess so accurately?" He said to me in a low voice, "I'll tell you secretly, you mustn't say anything." he used to work for a long time in a slaughterhouse in Chicago, weighing thousands of pigs every day! so he can guess so accurately! "

A friend of mine named Chauncey M. Dipper once told me that he once told an Englishman about his early years. The Englishman looked so confused that he didn't laugh until a year later. To tell you the truth, it took me longer to figure out the joke Mr. Johnson said at that time.

The fate between Tesla and Edison 02 and Mark Twain came as a surprise to many people. Mark Twain, a world-famous American critical realist writer, is also an avid enthusiast of scientific and technological inventions.

Tesla, on the other hand, was a loyal reader of Mark Twain long before he came to the United States, and even cured his serious illness by reading. As a result, the two formed an inextricable bond and became close friends. Among the "100 most influential people in America" at the beginning of the 21 century, two were also on the list.

Tesla and Mark Twain, when I almost graduated from liberal arts high school, I suddenly fell ill-- and suffered from many diseases at the same time-- a condition that even the doctor thought was hopeless. I kept reading all kinds of books during that time. There are a lot of books that are not paid much attention to in the public library, and people there ask me to classify and catalogue them.

One day, they gave me several new literary books, which were different from those I had read before, and I was so fascinated by these works that I completely forgot my desperate physical condition at that time. It was Mark Twain's early work, and maybe it was because of these books that my illness was miraculously cured.

25 years later, I met Mr. Clemens (Mark Twain's original name was Samuel Langheng Clemens) himself, and we later became friends. I told him about my experience, and to my surprise, the master who was famous for his smile burst into tears after listening to my story.

In 1899, Tesla experimented with high voltage and high frequency currents. The proudest invention Tesla, who has a large number of inventions, is often asked which one he is most proud of. In response, he also gave an answer in his autobiography-to sum up, it should be "my inventions are important, practical and proud."

People who are interested in celebrities often come to ask me what my proudest invention is. The answer to this question depends on which angle you look at it.

There are many technical people who are particularly capable in their field of expertise who feel that my inventions other than induction motors are of no practical use; those who think so are pedantic and short-sighted. This view is grossly wrong. It is wrong to judge a new idea by its most direct utility.

The AC power transmission system I invented was born at the most critical moment to answer the problems that have plagued the industry for a long time; although there are still considerable resistance to overcome and different interests to reconcile, like other inventions, commercial applications will not be delayed for long. This situation is very similar to what happened after I invented the turbine.

Some people think that a simple and beautiful invention like this already has many features that make an ideal motor and should be put into practice immediately, but there is no doubt that it will encounter the same situation as before. However, the emergence of rotating magnetic field will not directly eliminate the existing equipment, but will add additional value to these equipment.

My AC power transmission system not only opens up new areas, but also improves existing areas. From this point of view, my turbine is a technological advance in an entirely new form that means that old prime motors that have already invested more than $1 billion will be eliminated. In this case, the advance of new technology must be slowed down, and the biggest resistance may come from the organized obstruction of biased professionals.

Compared with the well-known Edison, Nikolai Tesla is obviously an undervalued inventor of Tesla's invention, whose achievements were once forgotten by the world. In fact, the scientific giant in Tesla's autobiography is not low-key, he just happily recorded his life as a genius.

Content introduction

Tesla is regarded as "the man who created the 20th century". He has obtained about 1000 invention patents in his life. Without him, the following tools affecting human life may not appear, or delayed: alternating current generators, AC transmission, hydropower stations, radios, automatic ignition, telephones, radios, televisions, fax machines, radar, wireless guided missiles, drones, X-rays, neon lights, solar power generation, leafless turbines.

A brief introduction to the author

Nikolai Tesla (Nikola Tesla) was born in Croatia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) on July 9, 1856 and died on January 7, 1943. Inventors, physicists, mechanical engineers and electrical engineers, one of the most important contributors to power applications, made revolutionary contributions in the field of electromagnetism, and the unit of magnetic induction intensity was named after him. In 1912, Tesla and Edison were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics at the same time for their contributions to electricity. Tesla motor patent technology is still the foundation of modern power industry.
