Scientific Opinions about Tesla
If the results of Tesla’s work were excluded and taken away from the industrial world, the wheels of industry would cease turning, trams and electrical trains would come to a standstill, cities would sink into darkness, and factories become dead.
B. A. Behrend, American scientist
A Great Man Even in the World of the Most Highly Developed
With deepest admiration we wonder how Nikola Tesla could reach such great achievements and exert such an influence in countries with a higher level of scientific and industrial development than in the country of his birth and youth from which he brought his exploratory and independent mind.
(Niels Bohr, great Danish physician)
Brilliant Ideas
In one word, Tesla created elements which have since been essential to radio engineering. His inventions contain a whole world of brilliant ideas and ingenious realizations. In fact, Tesla was the actual forerunner of wireless telegraphy, for in his lecture before the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in 1893 he already set out most clearly the main lines of a system for transmitting signals.
(Andre Blondel, French scientist)
The Greatest Inventor in Electrical Engineering
I have come to the conclusion that Nikola Tesla was the greatest inventor there has ever been in the field of electricity. I may even go so far as to say that Tesla is the greatest inventor ever to have worked in electrical engineering.
(W. H. Eccles, Professor of Radio Engineering at London University)
The Foundations of Modern Physics
I believe that Nikola Tesla’s work at the time, his great idea of the rotating magnetic field, is among the great peaks of human imagination in world history. His work made possible the discovery of X-rays and also all the work throughout the world undertaken by J.J. Thompson and others which led to the concept of modern physics.
(H. W. Buck, President of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers)
