  Tesla: The Forgotten Genius
Tesla's discovery of the rotating magnetic field produced by the interactions of two and three phase alternating currents in a motor winding was one of his most significant achievements of the century, and formed the basis of his induction motor and polyphase system for the generation and distribution of electricity.
Tesla's experiments with high frequency and high potential alternating currents resulted in the development of the "Tesla coil." This device is a transformer with an air core that has both its primary and secondary tuned in resonance.
Tesla also envisioned a way to send electricity through the air and through the Earth so that electrical power would be available everywhere, even in remote corners of the planet.

 Nikola Tesla's patents
Bearing this in mind, we realize why Tesla's first patents applied for in 1885, 1886 and the first half of 1887 were in the field of electric-arc lamp regulators and-direct current generators.
The majority of patents were applied for between 1896 and 1901 (radio, conductor insullation, remotely controlled vehicle); another Tesla's prolific period was in 1910 (fluid turbines, pumps).
Although most patents issued to Tesla outside the USA were repetitions of what he had obtained in the USA, for those who study Tesla's work these patents can offer additional explanations and more precise formulations of his ideas, discoveries and inventions.

 Nikola Tesla. The Complete Tesla.
Tesla is the unsung creator of the electric age, without whom our radio, auto ignition, telephone, alternating current power generation, alternating current transmission, radio, and television, would all have been impossible.
Tesla was told (by Edison) that if he could repair all of the faulty and broken down motors and generators in the Edison plant that he would receive $50,000.00 for his effort.
Tesla made his first million before he was 40, but gave up the royalties on his most profitable invention as a humanitarian gesture.

 Tesla'a Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Tesla studied at the Realschule, Karlstadt in 1873, the Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria and the University of Prague.
Tesla brilliantly adapted the principle of rotating magnetic field for the construction of alternating current induction motor and the polyphase system for the generation, transmission, distribution and use of electrical power.
Tesla’s lectures and writings of the 1890s aroused wide admiration among contemporaries popularized his inventions and inspired untold numbers of younger men to enter the new field of radio and electrical science.

 Books of Nikola Tesla
Written some years after his Wardencliff Project, Tesla explains the inefficiency and limitations of the Hertzian method of electromagnetic propagation (through the air) with great clarity -- and that his system of wireless which was vastly more effective, utilised the ground itself for propagation.
Tesla was famous at the turn of the century for inventing the alternating current system still in use today.
This book is a virtual compendium of patents, diagrams, photos, and explanations of the many incredible inventions of the originator of the modern era of electrification.

 Nikola Tesla - The Complete Patents of Nikola Tesla - The Man who invented the 20th Century
His notes, letters, and patent filings bespeak a genius at work through his seventies, but a genius whose time is increasingly given over to feeding the pigeons of Manhattan, and to nursing the sick ones in his hotel room.
The patent is, legally, a "negative right"; it does not grant a right to manufacture (which might infringe in the process on other patents), it merely assures the right of its holder to bring infringement suits in court–a hazardous and expensive privilege.

 Nikola Tesla. The Guglielmo Marconi case   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Yet, the inventor of radio is Nikola Tesla, as proved by official court decisions and as great scientists of his era admit.
Nine months after Tesla's death, the Supreme Patent Court of the USA decides that Nikola Tesla must be considered the father of wireless transmission and radio.
It is said that when his colleagues thought they had discovered something new, he suggested they first had a look at Tesla's patents before proceeding with publishing their findings.

 TWP - Questions
Tesla's Ionization device created by some sort of high frequency waves, was ever sold here in the U.S.A. My research tells me that a device was at one time sold for scalp massages and also used in the beauty industry for facial cleansing and other oxidization of the skin.
Tesla had the idea of moving this condenser to the primary side of the coil where it could be of much greater storage capacity and also form part of a resonant primary circuit.
Tesla was referring to his wireless communications system in which 90% to 95% of the electrical energy was manifested at the transmitter's output as "current waves" which were propagated through the ground by conduction, with the remainder being directed to the antenna structure, resulting in dissipating electromagnetic radiation.

Looking back, it is hard to imagine how Tesla --inventor of radio and a celebrity in his own time -- went from celebrity status to being noted as an obscure inventor of AC motors.
Tesla greatly improved Edison's DC generators and attempted to convince Edison that an alternating current motor was possible.
Tesla's patents enabled the long distance transmission of electricity for the use of power.
