Not the dawn of the twentieth century, this Serbian-American inventor threw himself into the autobiographical enterprise. In it is present Tesla's eagerness for recognition as a "great inventor" who he believed to be. Its trajectory was characterized by the passage of the glorious moment that it experienced in the scientific community to the process of ostracism in which it was. His decline was not only financial or professional, but especially existential, since his time was what made sense to his life. Convinced of the excellence of his work, Nikola Tesla built an autobiography project, conceived as a concept of perception of the importance of his inventions to the world. For him, only the ideal inventors, who participate that the class of "exceptionally privileged class" would guard the world from eminent destruction. The autobiography was used as a model for Tesla to transform a conception of people, altering the existing world and turning it into an ideal place where its actualization is not more serious through writing, but through its inventions, its main purpose would consist of Safeguard a humanity from the catastrophe. The autobiographical writing was perceived by Nikola Tesla as a resource to transform the existing world, and to resurface as an ideal inventor. / Essa dissertação investiga o estatuto da escrita autobiográfica para Nikola Tesla (1856-1943). No alvorecer do século XX, esse inventor sérvio-estadunidense se lançou ao empreendimento autobiográfico. Nele é presente a ânsia de Tesla por um reconhecimento enquanto o “grande inventor” que acreditava ser. Sua trajetória foi caracterizada pela passagem do momento glorioso que experimentou na comunidade científica ao processo de ostracismo no qual se encontrava, no momento da escrita. Seu declínio não foi apenas financeiro ou profissional, mas sobretudo existencial, já que seu ofício era o que fornecia sentido para sua vida. Convicto da excelência de seu trabalho, Nikola Tesla construiu um projeto autobiográfico destinado a alterar as concepções correntes responsáveis por impossibilitar a percepção da importância de suas invenções para o mundo. Para ele, só os inventores ideais, que participavam do que denomina de “ classe excepcionalmente privilegiada” resguardaria o mundo da destruição eminente. A autobiografia foi utilizada como meio para Tesla transformar a concepção das pessoas, alterando o mundo existente e o transformando em um lugar ideal aonde sua atuação não mais seria por meio da escrita, mas sim através de suas invenções, cuja principal finalidade consistiria em resguardar a humanidade da catástrofe. A escrita autobiográfica foi percebida por Nikola Tesla como recurso para ele transformar o mundo existente, e ressurgir enquanto um inventor ideal

"Spark Gap" is an invisible electrical force made visible in spaces between things. This usually describes the space of air between two conductors; a non-conductive gap in an otherwise complete electric circuit, across which a quick luminous disruptive electrical discharge occurs. This interstitial space is the distance between two ideas, arced with a running leap. The arc can also be the difference between two things, a gap that becomes apparent only when the two are held in close proximity. In my thesis exhibition, "Spark Gap," a sea urchin shaped orb sits atop a tower of ladders. The orb is broken into five sections and reassembled, each fault line occurring along the perfect zigzag line of its cellular structure. On the floor, there is a linen shag rug, marked as if struck by lightning. This exhibition is named for an interstitial charge, arcing across distance or difference. But this charge is also found in intersections and similarities. Imagine the friction created by rubbing together the circles of a Venn diagram: the overlapping section would begin to spark. It is in these gaps and overlaps that I find the impetus for my work.

Esta dissertação consiste em pesquisa sobre virtualidades possivelmente presentes nas teorias que incentivaram as primeiras tentativas de transmissão eletromagnética sem fios em fins do século XIX, reportando também ao deslocamento dessas teorias em direção a outras áreas do conhecimento. Após breve retrospectiva do processo de invenção do rádio - no qual concorreram esforços de diversos pesquisadores como James Clerk Maxwell, David Edward Hughes, Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, Nikola Tesla, Roberto Landell de Moura e Guglielmo Marconi o estudo revê vasta literatura relacionada ao campo da Parapsicologia, tentando encontrar informações mais detalhadas sobre contatos interdimensionais semelhantes aos descritos por Roberto Landell de Moura, Nikola Tesla e Thomas Alva Edison em depoimentos concedidos à mídia impressa no início dos anos 1900. Finalmente, consiste numa fabulação poética a partir desse contexto. / This is a survey of virtual potentialities of the inventions related to the early development of wireless technology at the end of nineteenth century, as well as its recurrence in other areas of knowledge from there onward. After a brief historical review on the radio invention (involving several scientists as James Clerk Maxwell, David Edward Hughes, Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, Nikola Tesla, Roberto Landell de Moura and Guglielmo Marconi) goes into a wider literature review on the parapsychology field wich brings more detailed information on interdimensional contacts as the ones described by Roberto Landell de Moura, Nikola Tesla and Thomas Alva Edison at newspapers and magazines in the early 1900s. As a result this is also a poetical view about this context.

There are various situations in which electrical energy is desired but cannot by conveniently supplied. Since the days of Hienrich Hertz and Nikola Tesla, scientists have tried to solve this problem using different methods of wireless power transfer. Today, wireless power transfer has only been commercially demonstrated at small distances through use of induction. This thesis demonstrated the transfer of wireless power at relatively large distances through radio frequencies in the development of a prototype for a commercial product - a wireless household lamp.

ork tie together on first project, in which the was designed apparatus for tests wireless transmission energy. Antenna was synthesized and theoretically optimized for experimental operation, in which the will performed series measuring. In first part is practical description of realization proposal. It consists of circuital solution, proposal measuring workplace and mechanical construction with illustration photographs of arrangement. Second part includes results of performed measuring. These measuring will divided by three basic groups: in first group will by testing feature one’s antennae, in second group will series transmission measuring power gain, and in third group will photographed shape of field, and comparison with simple simulation finite difference method. Third part summarises results from measuring, and prepares consecutive balancing visualisation project, which is of thematic bent on chosen aspects theoretical hypothesis and effected experiments.
