Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter is a 1986 work by Marc J Seifer, corresponding to Section 6 ("World Broadcasting System," pages 326–361) of his larger study Nikola Tesla: Psychohistory of a Forgotten Inventor (later expanded into Wizard: The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla).
Overview
The section covers the most ambitious phase of Tesla's career: his experiments at Colorado Springs (1899) with the Magnifying Transmitter — a giant resonant transformer for wireless power and communication — and his subsequent plan for a "World Broadcasting System" at Wardenclyffe. Its chapters treat Colorado Springs and the Magnifying Transmitter, Tesla's geophysical ideas (standing terrestrial waves), and the World Broadcasting System.
