"My Inventions" - The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla

Inventor "constructed" his designs in imagination, so vividly that he could refine and operate them mentally.

Nikola Tesla was a physicist, mathematician, philosopher, electrical engineer and mechanic. With so much skill he developed inventions and theories fundamental to modern science. Despite his importance in the scientific world, few people know who he was and what his contributions to the scientific community were. Tesla worked in the field of remote control, radar, wireless communication and robotics, but he was mainly known for the construction of the alternating current motor.

When it comes to electricity, we think first of Thomas Edson, the inventor of the incandescent light bulb, and Tesla, despite being a genius inventor, is often overlooked. The two scientists worked together, but differences in the theory of transmission of electricity turned the two scientists into rivals. Edson advocated direct current transmission, which was defeated by Nikola Tesla's studies.

Among so many studies in the exact sciences, a creation in the humanities is gaining space now and arrives by Editora Unesp. An autobiography called “My inventions”, in which Nikola Tesla tells his life from childhood, going through his projects. The book also explains how his creative process worked, so complex and unique that it allowed him to develop, operate and modify his inventions only with his imagination.

Its name inspires, as a brand, one of the pioneering automobile manufacturers in the electric vehicle segment, Tesla Motors.
