    About this ebook

    Nikola Tesla was a genius who revolutionized how the world looks at electricity. In 1893 he patented an electro-mechanical oscillator as a steam-powered electric generator. By his own account, one version of the oscillator caused an earthquake in New York City in 1898, for which it was accorded the moniker, "Tesla's earthquake machine."

      That the coil ignition and alternator-powered electrics on old British motorcycles have been objects of derision should come as little, or no, surprise. Even in the 1960s, riders were sceptical about their reliability, as the six-volt batteries strug

      The grid-dip oscillator – also known as a GDO or “Dipper” – was a fixture in the well-equipped ham shack of the mid-20th century, fading from popularity only as the use of vacuum tubes faded as well (it was the grid current of a vacuum tube that “dip

    Few fields have been opened up the exploration of which has proved as fruitful as that of high frequency currents. Their singular properties and the spectacular character of the phenomena they presented immediately commanded universal attention. Scientific men became interested in their investigation, engineers were attracted by their commercial possibilities, and physicians recognized in them a long-sought means for effective treatment of bodily ills. Since the publication of my first
