Nikola Tesla’s Vision for Humanity’s Future—Harnessing Energy for Survival
Written by one of history’s greatest inventors and visionary engineers, The Problem of Increasing Human Energy offers a profound exploration of humanity’s most urgent challenge: how to sustain and advance the human race amid growing resource demands.
Drawing on his groundbreaking knowledge of mechanical and electrical engineering, Tesla lays out innovative ideas for capturing and using energy—especially from the sun—to propel civilization forward. His insights, first developed in the early 20th century, resonate powerfully today amid global concerns about climate change and sustainable energy.
This essential work is a must-read for anyone fascinated by:
✅ The origins of renewable energy concepts
✅ Tesla’s inventive genius and futuristic thinking
✅ Scientific approaches to humanity’s long-term survival
✅ The early foundation of environmental and energy studies
Step into the mind of a true pioneer and discover why Tesla’s warnings and hopes for mankind remain as relevant now as ever.

Nikola Tesla (1856 –1943) was an inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer. He was an important contributor to the birth of commercial electricity, and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase system of electrical distribution and the AC motor. This work helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution. Born an ethnic Serb in the village of Smiljan, in the Austrian Empire, Tesla was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen. Because of his 1894 demonstration of wireless communication through radio and as the eventual victor in the "War of Currents", he was widely respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers who worked in America. He pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. In the United States during this time, Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture. Tesla demonstrated wireless energy transfer to power electronic devices as early as 1893, and aspired to intercontinental wireless transmission of industrial power in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project. Because of his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist by many late in his life. Tesla never put much focus on his finances and died with little funds at the age of 86, alone in the two room hotel suite in which he lived, in New York City. The International System of Units unit measuring magnetic field B. In addition to his work on electromagnetism and electromechanical engineering, Tesla contributed in varying degrees to the establishment of robotics, remote control, radar, and computer science, and to the expansion of ballistics, nuclear physics, and theoretical physics.
