Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency

Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency

This book is the official transcript of Tesla's landmark 1892 lecture before the Institution of Electrical Engineers in London. Tesla describes his groundbreaking experiments with high-frequency alternating currents, including the phenomena of wireless transmission, high-voltage lighting, and the effects of these currents on the human body. The result is a direct record of the presentation that stunned the European scientific community.

Short Review

A direct, exhilarating look at Tesla at his peak as a showman and innovator. This is less a formal textbook and more a transcription of a live demonstration, capturing the excitement of his paradigm-shifting findings. The clarity with which he explains highly complex electrical phenomena, backed by live, spectacular demonstrations, is remarkable. It works as a foundational document for radio communication and wireless power concepts. For those interested in the history of electrical engineering, this lecture is a mandatory primary source.
