In this classic exposition, Nikola Tesla, famed inventor and scientist, turns his attention to "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy." More explicitly, Tesla is referring to the scientific challenges that face the continued survival and proliferation of the human race. A classic and fascinating treatise, Tesla's "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy" approaches the challenges to the human race from a physical science perspective.

The Problem of Increasing Human Energy by Nikola Tesla focuses on his ideas for the survival of the human race and is based on his expertise as both a mechanical and electrical engineer. The Problem of Increasing Human Energy is recommended for those interested in scientific ideas toward furthering the longevity of the human race. It has been used as a starting point for understanding Global Warming, harnessing the Sun's energy and other issues. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer. He was an important contributor to the birth of commercial electricity, and is best known for developing the modern alternating current (AC) electrical supply system. Tesla's patents and theoretical work also formed the basis of wireless communication and the radio.

“ Of all the endless variety of phenomena which nature presents to our senses, there is none that fills our minds with greater wonder than that inconceivably complex movement which, in its entirety, we designate as human life; Its mysterious origin is veiled in the forever impenetrable mist of the past, its character is rendered incomprehensible by its infinite intricacy, and its destination is hidden in the unfathomable depths of the future. Whence does it come? What is it? Whither does it tend? are the great questions which the sages of all times have endeavored to answer...” N. T.

The Problem of Increasing Human Energy by inventor Nikola Tesla was developed largely based on his acquired knowledge as both a mechanical and electrical engineer, and focuses on his ideas for the survival of the human race. Special reference is also made to the best way of harnessing the sun's energy. Today with the fears of global warming, this Tesla work has been used as a starting point for understanding the problems that the human race is facing. The Problem of Increasing Human Energy is highly recommended for individuals who are interested in scientific ideas toward the longevity of the human race and those interested in key writings of Nikola Tesla.

In this short essay Tesla speculates on the nature of man and energy. “Though we may never be able to comprehend human life, we know certainly that it is a movement, of whatever nature it be. The existence of movement unavoidably implies a body which is being moved and a force which is moving it. Hence, wherever there is life, there is a mass moved by a force. All mass possesses inertia, all force tends to persist. Owing to this universal property and condition, a body, be it at rest or in motion, tends to remain in the same state, and a force, manifesting itself anywhere and through whatever cause, produces an equivalent opposing force, and as an absolute necessity of this it follows that every movement in nature must be rhythmical.” Illustrations include burning the nitrogen of the atmosphere, a diagram of the three ways of increasing human energy, the first practical Telautomaton, an experiment to illustrate the supplying of electrical energy through a single wire without return, the experiment to illustrate the transmission of electrical energy through the earth without wire, a photographic view of the coils responding to electrical oscillations, a view of the essential parts of the electrical oscillator used in the experiment, an experiment to illustrate an inductive effect of an electrical oscillator of great power, the experiment to illustrate the capacity of the oscillator for producing electrical explosions, an experiment to illustrate the capacity of the oscillator for creating a great electrical movement, a photographic view of an experiment to illustrate the effect of an electrical oscillator delivering energy at a rate of seventy-five thousand horse-power, and small diagrams of wireless telegraphy mechanically illustrated, and obtaining energy from the ambient medium.
