Many of Tesla's writings are freely available on the web, including the article, The Problem of Increasing Human Energy, which he wrote for The Century Magazine in 1900, and the article, Experiments With Alternate Currents Of High Potential And High Frequency, published in his book, Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla.
Leland I. Anderson (1928-October 15, 2021) was a technical writer and electrical engineer who was credited with helping renew interest in the work of Nikola Tesla. [1] His long-time interest in Nikola Tesla took root in the early 1950s, [2] and his activities since then have resulted in his recognition as one of the world's foremost Tesla historians. [3]

Nikola Tesla died at 86 years old, a notably ripe old age compared to 1943’s average American life expectancy of just 62.4 years. Even considering the life expectancy in his original homeland, ...
In the early 1890s Nikola Tesla began his research into high-frequency electricity. Tesla was aware of Hertz's experiments with electromagnetic waves from 1889 on [12] [13] but, (like many scientists of that time) thought, even if radio waves existed, they would probably only travel in straight lines making them useless for long range ...
He claimed inspiration from Nikola Tesla, among others. [34] In 1962, physicist Richard Feynman discussed a Brownian ratchet that would supposedly extract meaningful work from Brownian motion, although he went on to demonstrate how such a device would fail to work in practice. [35]
