My collection of Books, Videos, and other information
regarding Nikola Tesla...1/1/1996
BOOKS:
- 1. Tesla...Man Out of Time- Margaret Cheney
This was one of the first books I purchased
about Tesla.I often loan it to the non-Tesla
person. I think it packs a wealth of information
about him between the pages.
- 2. Tesla...-Tad Wise
This biographical novel, while about Tesla, is in
my opinion too much of what Tad Wise thinks went
on in that time of Tesla.
- 3. The Complete Patents of Nikola Tesla...-Jim Glenn
The ability to turn to each page of Tesla's patents
and SEE what he did is amazing. I read this one a lot.
- 4. The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla-
A thick book with lots insight to many of Tesla's
ideas and inventions.
- 5. Nikola Tesla...Life Work of a Genius-Tesla Memorial Society
This is a little book I got when I joined the Tesla
Memorial Society. It is full of personal recollections
from people that knew Tesla. I refer to it a lot.
- 6. The Tesla Journal...The Tesla Memorial Society journal. This one
is also full of short articles about Tesla. I wish
The Memorial Society would catch up with a new one.
- 7. The Problem of Increasing Human Energy...-Nikola Tesla
This is a small format paperback. I read it a lot. Tesla's
intelligence and truly profound ideas about life, science
and society will prove to anyone his Genius!
- 8. Tesla Coil Secrets...-R.A. Ford
An interesting book of experiments and diagrams to make
or improve and understand the Tesla Coil.
- 9. Tesla...The Lost Inventions-George Trinkaus
A very small, 33 pages, paperback with interesting ideas
concerning some of Tesla's patents.
- 10. Tesla...Experiments with Alternating Currents of High Potential
and High Frequencies- Nikola Tesla
In Tesla's own words, a lecture before electrical engineers
in London. Very informative with a few pictures and diagrams.
- 11. Case Judgment of the US Supreme Court October Term 1942-
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. of the US vs United States
What I thought would be the smoking gun proving Tesla was in
fact the Father of radio. While it does, a person has to read
between the lines of what the judges were saying. Pretty good.
- 12. Journals from the International Tesla Society.
I have a couple years of these journals along with the newer
Extraordinary Science magazines. They are all good and each
will have a bit of interesting Tesla reading.
VIDEOS:
- 1. Nikola Tesla... The Genius Who Lit The World- Tesla Memorial Society
This is a VERY good documentary style video I bought from the
Tesla Memorial Society. It is full of Tesla information with
some video shot at the Tesla Museum in Belgrade.
- 2. The Secret Life of Nikola Tesla
A movie with Orson Wells as J.P. Morgan. It is difficult to
follow unless the viewer knows the story of Tesla before hand.
If that's the case it is pretty good. The problem with it is
that it jumps around a lot within the timeline. Hard to follow.
I wish someone would make a new movie about him. I think it's
TIME!
- 3. Electromagnetic Energy...Neither Wave nor Particle -Larry Spring
Whilst this video isn't about Tesla, I mention it because I
Think Mr. Spring is on to something that all the physics
teachers missed. He proves that EME is spherical! Very Good.
MISCELLANEOUS:
- 1. FBI file on Nikola Tesla...My Freedom of Information request for Nikola
Tesla's FBI file.
While it took almost two years to get these 252 pages from
the FBI, I can't say they are dazzling. There are some really
interesting pages about some bizarre happenings. I was
disappointed at the overall amount of new information.
- 2. Summary of Relevant Information from Nikola Tesla's FBI File-
This is a yet unfinished summary that I have made from the
Tesla FBI Files.
- 3. Various newspaper articles, $500 Dinara note with Tesla on it, US
Postage
Stamp with Tesla, First Day of Issue US Post Card with Tesla and
Philo T. Farnsworth on it. And a stack of lesser important stuff!
