Summary
| Description |
I am reading a pre-release of Ravé Mehta’s graphic novel with my son as our bedtime book, and it is much more engaging than the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/3791375084">biographies</a> we read in the past that were adapted from various grad student theses. “Tesla’s true story is more surreal than any fictional account I’ve seen of him” — Ravé in <a href="http://www.wired.com/underwire/2012/07/nikola-tesla-comic" rel="nofollow">WIRED</a> Here is <a href="http://www.theinventorseries.com/store/" rel="nofollow">Chapter One</a> of the book. It should be available by Halloween. And if you have not heard of Nikola Tesla, the Oatmeal has a <a href="http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla" rel="nofollow">cheeky comic strip</a> that lays it all out, with a bit of poetic license. One of his many accomplishments is the AC induction motor, the technology that makes the Tesla car perform as it does, with no permanent magnets and no Rare Earth minerals. (hence the visual pun - Tesla is the key) And if you are a fan, you can <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/teslamuseum?a=1047780" rel="nofollow">donate</a> to the effort to preserve Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Lab as a Tesla Museum. It’s getting close! “Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.” — Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) |
