Tesla explained the principles of the rotating magnetic field in an induction motor by demonstrating how to make a copper egg stand on end, using a device that he constructed known as the Egg of Columbus and introduced his new steam powered oscillator AC generator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside you'll read about\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA promising intellect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth complications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInventive work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA troubled mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnusual experiences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMental breakdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControversial viewpoints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA forgotten mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom breakdown to brainstorm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOvershadowed by rivals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath of a forgotten mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnd much more \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on Tesla's new ideas for electrical equipment, including a thermo-magnetic motor idea, Alfred S.
