My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla

Welcome to Nikola Tesla's autobiography My Inventions. Tesla was 63 years old when this text was first published in the Electrical Experimenter magazine in 1919.



I was taking electronics engineering classes in college when I first learned about Nikola Tesla. I discovered that Tesla developed several of the most important technologies we use today. I thought it strange that Tesla had contributed so much to the world; yet he's virtually unknown to most people. He's a true unsung hero. I became so interested in Tesla that I eventually built my own Tesla coil; I wrote a Tesla coil design program called TeslaMap and created the Tesla Coil Design; Construction and Operation Guide. But enough about me.
