Description
Nikola Tesla told his own life story in My Inventions, a set of six articles printed in 1919. The Serbian-born inventor had changed electrical power with his work on alternating current. Late in life, famous and short of money, he looked back.
Tesla recalls boyhood in Croatia, the flash of insight that gave him the rotating magnetic field, and his huge tests at Colorado Springs. He describes his habit of building machines whole in his mind before touching metal. The articles blend hard fact with bold claims, in a voice as odd and bright as the man himself.
