Никола Тесла. Ложь и правда о великом изобретателе

Author: Petr Obraztsov In recent years, Teslamania has reached Russia - the name of Nikola Tesla is more popular today than ever, all books about the great inventor become bestsellers, TV movies about him have record ratings. Tesla is called a genius and master of the Universe, legends tell about his inventions, he is credited with complete power over nature, space and time ... In response, a wave of revelatory publications rises, proving that Tesla's fame is exorbitantly inflated by the yellow press greedy for sensation and is not based on real achievements, but on self-promotion that Tesla is not a serious scientist, but a PR genius, that the lion's share of his inventions are just clever tricks, and his sensational discoveries are mostly a hoax. Is there any truth in these accusations? Is the fame of the famous inventor deserved? And how to separate the truth about him from the myths? This book is the first serious attempt to understand the phenomenon of Nikola Tesla objectively and impartially. This study puts an end to the protracted dispute whether Tesla was a great scientist and discoverer or a brilliant mystifier and charlatan.
