Tesla's Engine (1994, Paperback)

I see after looking through the book that it is all old drawings that are not accurate,to the point that a person might be able to build a engine from information provided. I was looking more for a guide to building and puting to use a engine of teslas design. I have many years as a inventor of needed useful creations mostly mechanical. I had hoped to fallow the lead that tesla started with his imagination and do something modern of practical use.This for me would be a smaller version of the models shown.I guess details are the key to a working practical power plant that will do a job and thats not so large or require steam to operate it from another source. I'll read it cover to cover in an attempt to understand the theory. Maybe then I will be able to apply it in a different way than represented in the book. In a way that is useful in everyday life. Please accept my thanks, it is a worthy collection of tesla engines.
