Tesla, the man with a plan.
Did you know that there were only a very few REAL Tesla coils ever built? It is true. The so called Tesla coils you see and read about are not Tesla coils at all. They are really Lodge coils that have nothing to do with Tesla at all. How did a little slip of using the words, Primary and secondary by Tesla himself to describe his devices cause so much confusion early on...

This review is from: ON LIGHT AND OTHER HIGH FREQUENCY PHENOMENA (Paperback)
Did you know that there were only a very few REAL Tesla coils ever built? It is true. The so called Tesla coils you see and read about are not Tesla coils at all. They are really Lodge coils that have nothing to do with Tesla at all. How did a little slip of using the words, Primary and secondary by Tesla himself to describe his devices cause so much confusion early on and still exists to this very day? See how modern science bypassed much of the great work of Tesla. So just what was Tesla really doing? What fantastic new type of energy did he discover. Why did the inventor of the ac power system we all use today abandon all further research of AC power and put all his effort into his new discovery? This book lays the ground work to answer that question.
A must read book to get the real story behind the man with a plan.

P 19 "...such device readily at hind"
With blatant typos such as this, how is the average reader supposed to understand the complexities of his notes? What other larger errors are there? True, I have not read the book; I won't lie as 50% of the reviewers on any technical manual, programming book, or anything political...but I've read over 50 Tesla books and note collections, and I haven't found a "Holy Grail" yet. Maybe a Monty Python Grail, but not the Holy Grail. I have found in my extensive collection of Tesla books, many of them are fluff, most have errors, some have material that isn't true or even from Tesla. At under $10, is it worth a shot? Probably. Then I could brag I have over 51 books. Quite impressive on a bookshelf! |
