In a command box:
wget -r http://fliiby.com/folders/116/nikola_tesla.html
Google for the wget.exe program.

Thanks. I've set the Free Downloader spider on it we'll see how that
goes first. I was hoping for something simple.

I came into this thread a bit late. Am I to understand Tesla's patents are
online - somewhere? Many years ago - I was working at a gas station for a
mechanic who owned the place. He had a fascination with Tesla's work. He
mailed away to England (U.K.) I believe - and got like 10 of the patent
copies. I can't recall the cost to do that - but they were pretty damned
detailed and neat. I can't recall if he kept them or gave them to me. If I
have them, I have no clue where they're stashed. But they "were" neat!

You can try:

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/result ... la%20Tesla

At least it gives the title of the document and a brief intro text. This
search gave 89 hits for his patents. I have used this website before, and
it has a minimum of ads and spyware. The link given by the OP was slow to
load and caused my browser to hang up. I don't trust it.

US patents are online, via the US patent office. A websearch will turn
it up, I don't have the URL handy.

The problem there is that before a certain date, the patents were merely
scanned, so very few search options are available. If you have the
patent numbers, then it's easy. After about 1970, the patents were in
digital form to start with, so you can search on a lot more things.

Every so often, people come along and say "wow, with this site you
can get patents", but I'm not sure what they offer that isn't at
the US Patent Office website. Of course, if the patents weren't
filed in the US, they'd not be there. I don't know what other
countries do on the matter.

IN the old days, it was a big thing to get a hold of patents. The
average person didn't have the means of doing searches, and there'd
be a cost to get copies of the patents. Hence there'd be all those
multiple sources that offered copies of patents on various things.

Tesla has so much mystique built up around him, it was the sort
of thing you'd see ads for in the back of magazines. All those
lines about "the inventions the government has suppressed" makes
them a highly saleable item.

Thanks that seems to be working the best.

Well no.

Use "US Patent office" and you get
http://www.uspto.gov
I see no point in anything else, since that's the primary source.

All US patents are published on http://www.uspto.gov

Sorry, ones in Tesla's time cannot be found in http://www.uspto.gov with search
term by inventor name.

However, Google has all US Patents from #1 to maybe a year or so ago
searchable by any terms - at least somewhat.

http://www.google.com/patents?hl=en

Try this:

http://www.google.com/patents?as_q=&num ... pq=&as_oq=
&as_eq=&as_pnum=&as_vt=&as_pinvent=Tesla&as_pasgnee=&as_pusc=&as_pintlc=&as_
drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=1&as_miny_is=2008&as_maxm_is=1&as_maxy_is=2008&as_drrb_
ap=q&as_minm_ap=1&as_miny_ap=2008&as_maxm_ap=1&as_maxy_ap=2008

(Split into 4 lines by my favorite very-old-school newsreader on a Unix
system accessed by a telnet connection)

That goes to page 1 of 11 for the 105 that Google is aware of having an
inventor with a name Tesla. I suspect they could have missed some, since
I suspect that a lot of Google's work on older patents is dependent on
optical-character-recognition-related technology being used on documents
computerized in a graphical format rather than a text format.

FYI:
Any time a Google URL contains an equals sign
immediately followed by an ampersand,
that parameter is set to null and, as such, is just noise.
(The ampersand starts the next parameter).

All of this could be removed from the URL:
as_q=&
as_oq=&
as_eq=&
as_pnum=&
as_vt=&
as_pasgnee=&
as_pusc=&
as_pintlc=&

&btnG=Google is also complete noise.

If links get long, I'd consider also taking out hl=en
(which should filter out anything that isn't English).
The filter gets it wrong a lot, IME.

num=10 is Google's default, so that isn't necessary;
if 10 **isn't** a person's preference, I wouldn't force it on him
--unless I was trying to make a specific point.

In most cases unless you *need* advanced search options, all you want is
the parameters giving the actual search. Try this (null search,
inventor Tesla):
<http://www.google.com/patents?Search&as_pinvent=Tesla>

The date range crap above stood for 'dont care'!
