Nikola Tesla - Complete Patents (Hardcover)

Chronologically listed, the 112 patents issued to Tesla in the United States and their submittal diagrams. From his first patent in March 30, 1885 for an Electric-Arc Lamp, through October 4, 1927 for an Apparatus for Aerial Transportation, the range of this superman is astonishing. It is no wonder that upon his death, agents of the Federal government confiscated all his working papers and to this day they have not been released. Surprisingly interesting reading in that with each patent application he explains the reasons for its invention and how it differs from the technology preceding it.
