You never can get random blueprints from visiting islands. That only gets you the pieces for the Wonder of the World quests. You can get pieces from

However the only way that Tesla generator prints have ever been found was with the idol and that was a VERY limited time. I am not sure it even works now, but it might. It will cost you $5M per attempt and you get all random pieces.
 * 1) Merchant's house randomly as he offers them,
 * 2) you can donate to the Idol which is even more random and gives duplicates
 * 3) you can find them in Pirate Chest which has some random and some fixed

Good luck,
