TESLA

Chapters

Part I — The Foundation

• 1Before We Start: Electricity, Magnetism, and the Two RulesRevisedVoltage, current, resistance, Ohm's Law, magnetic fields, Oersted, Faraday — from absolute zero
• 2AC and DC: What They Are and Where They Come FromRevisedDC vs. AC, why generators make AC, the commutator, RMS, 50/60 Hz, lightning, skin effect, Faraday cage, arcing
• 3The Transformer: The Real Reason AC WonRevisedTurns ratio, power conservation, I²R losses, why DC has no transformer, the wall wart explained, transmission chain, HVDC

Part II — The Physics Engine

• 4Magnetism: The Invisible ForceDraft — needs revisionB field, flux, Faraday's Law in depth, Lenz's Law, the falling magnet experiment
• 5Magnetic Cores, Losses, and MaxwellSplit pendingMagnetic circuits, permeability, saturation, eddy currents, hysteresis, Maxwell in plain English
• 6The Brushed DC Motor: What Tesla Had to BeatDraftCommutator mechanics, back-EMF, torque curves, build one from a AA battery and a magnet

Part III — Tesla's Breakthrough

• 7The Rotating Magnetic Field: Budapest, February 1882DraftThe Goethe walk, the vector proof, two-phase vs. three-phase, Tesla's 1888 patents
• 8The AC Induction Motor: No Brushes, No Contact, No ProblemDraftSquirrel cage rotor, induction creates torque, slip, torque-slip curve, VFDs, NEMA efficiency numbers
• 9The War of Currents: What Was Really at StakeDraftPearl Street, copper economics, Harold Brown, Columbian Exposition 1893, Niagara 1895, 50 vs. 60 Hz

Part IV — Tesla Builds Bigger

• 10The Tesla Coil: A Resonant RF MachineDraftLC resonance, Q factor, voltage multiplication, streamers, Faraday cage, build a solid-state coil
• 11Radio: The Fight Tesla Almost WonDraftMaxwell, Hertz, Marconi, Tesla's prior art, the 1943 Supreme Court ruling, build a crystal radio

Part V — Reaching Further

• 12Wireless Power: What Wardenclyffe Was Actually ForDraftRadiation vs. resonant waves, Schumann resonance, MIT WiTricity 2007, Qi, HAARP
• 13Colorado Springs and the Phenomena Nobody BelievedDraftStanding waves, X-ray priority, ball lightning, burned generator — verified / plausible / unverified

Part VI — The Hard End

• 14Weapons, Earthquakes, and the MythologyDraftTeleforce physics, mechanical resonance, the free energy myth, Tesla vs. Einstein
• 15The ManDraftPhotographic memory, the pigeon, the number 3, why he died broke, what we use every day
• 16Room 3327: The Death, the Trunks, and What Went MissingDraftJanuary 8 1943, FBI seizure, Hoover's handwritten note, the eighty trunks, the accounting gap
• 17The Company That Proved Him RightDraftTesla Motors, the AC induction car, inverters as VFDs, full torque from 0 RPM, why the Prius failed
