Nikola Tesla was a 19th-century American inventor, a contemporary and rival of Thomas Edison. He sold the rights of his invention of the modern induction motor to Westinghouse for one million dollars, cash. Yet he died a recluse, claiming a revolutionary discovery: an inexhaustible source of energy, whose power could be transmitted around the world without loss. This is a "factionalized" account of the author's investigation into Tesla's theories and claims, and the evidence that other people are carrying out his work now in secret.

Scientific anaylsis of Tesla's theories,
By glopez@cs.cmu.edu (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Search of Nikola Tesla (Paperback)
Dr. Peat gives a scientific perspective to Tesla's work, specifically, the wireless power transmission theories. The book is very narritive in his search for the truth about Tesla. His endeavors of searching for info are quite interesting. I recommend the book to any scientist out there. The book was originally published in 1983.

Well balenced view of Tesla's wireless power.,
By A Customer
This review is from: In Search of Nikola Tesla (Paperback)
While Peat does an excellent job at reporting of broadcast power from a critical standpoint, some very speculative statements are made about Tesla himself (e.g. He completely suppressed his own emotions in an attempt to use reasoning only) I had some objections to the reliability of part of the information presented. Peat offers alot of good information and the book is worth reading if your interested in Tesla and his works, particularly broadcast power.
