Nikola Tesla's Autobiography
At the age of 63 Tesla tells the story of his creative life.
First published in 1919 in the Electrical Experimenter magazine.
TESLA'S QUOTATIONS
Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally.
In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even
operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the
measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts
will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings.
It is immaterial to me whether I run my machine in my mind or test it in
my shop. The inventions I have conceived in this way have always
worked. In thirty years there has not been a single exception. My first
electric motor, the vacuum wireless light, my turbine engine and many
other devices have all been developed in exactly this way.
-- Nikola Tesla
My method is different. I do not rush into actual
work. When I get a new idea, I start at once building it up in my
imagination, and make improvements and operate the device in my mind.
When I have gone so far as to embody everything in my invention, every
possible improvement I can think of, and when I see no fault anywhere, I
put into concrete form the final product of my brain.
