Death Rays

Further, according to Dr. James Corum, in a recent phone interview, June 5, , the tower had the capability of producing only about kilowatts six times what many radio stations produce and delivering 10 kilowatts of power to the opposite side of the earth. This would be approximately enough energy to light a light bulb. A tremendous feat in its own right, however, nowhere near the amount of power required to create the Tunguska explosion.
The "death ray"
Corum stated that the problem in transmitting the kind of tremendous power required is that the air around the transmitter breaks down thereby rendering the machine inoperable. According to Corum, it would be essentially impossible to transmit energy to achieve this result. He did not think that Tesla did this, however. Photos taken from the site of the Siberian explosion reveal numerous trees flattened, much like the trees looked after the volcanic eruption of Mt.
Helens, which occurred recently in Washington. I do not believe that Tesla had the technology or the inclination to use Wardenclyffe to deliver the kind of energy necessary to create such a disaster. Tesla certainly discussed the idea of using a Wardenclyffe like tower to shoot down incoming aircraft, via a particle beam weapon, and as a completely separate concept, he also discussed the idea of creating earthquakes, which could be engendered in a variety of ways, e. So where did the idea that Tesla caused the explosion in Tunguska originate?
His name is not mentioned in the highly credible Gallant book. The answer is probably threefold: Tom Bearden's writings and through the speculations of Bearden's associate. It is Bearden's contention that a so called "Tesla wave" disturbs the very fabric of space-time.

Therefore, it could, potentially, create an instantaneous disaster at some distant point. Bearden has also suggested that the Russians during the cold war, experimented along these lines. Realistically, I would think that it would still be highly unlikely for such a weapon to presently exist. Rather, a large Wardenclyffe type tower might be able to disrupt the electrical grid at some prescribed target causing a blackout, or some similar phenomena.
And even that technology is probably still decades or generations away. Bearden, however, is not alone in these kind of speculations. A September 14, article in Nature by A.
Ryan speculates that the Tunguska event might have been due the earth's interaction with a mini black hole. Influenced by Bearden's writings and similar theories, and also influenced by Tesla's own assertion that a Wardenclyffe like tower could be used as a death ray, apparently Puharich was the first to suggest that Tesla caused the Tunguska explosion.
At least, that is the contention of Tad Wise, author of the recent novelized Tesla biography. Wise told me last year, that he was greatly intrigued by Puharich's suggestion and therefore placed it in his Tesla book. As Wise's book is part fiction, this was completely acceptable.
The "death ray" - Open Tesla Research
It is my belief that the explosion at Tunguska was probably caused by a meteor or small comet. This view takes into account the eye-witness reports by local tribesmen of a fiery object with a long tail hitting or passing by the area in June of In , Louis Frank from the University of Iowa, theorized that the oceans that make up the planet were caused by comets that bombard the earth over tens of millions of years. Comets are mostly ice, and they would melt when entering the earth's atmosphere. Nickolai Vasiliev, in his introduction to the Gallant book, hypothesizes that the Tunguska comet, actually skipped along the atmosphere like a rock on a lake, which created an explosion two or three miles above ground, and that the object never actually hit the earth.
He notes that in , an asteroid traveling at 40, mph, missed the earth by a mere four hundred thousand miles. The moon is , miles from the earth. As no meteor or comet fragment has been found at the Tunguska site, Vasiliev's theory holds merit, although it may have been an asteroid instead of a comet. I have heard that Tesla was working on the Philadelphia Experiment. To what extent did he participate? As you probably know, there is a lot of controversy about the Philadelphia Experiment, and what really occurred.
There is one theory that an entire ship was made to disappear and then reappear someplace else. One explanation is that this was done by dematerializing and then rematerializing the ship. A more likely scenario is that the ship disappeared on the radar screen and then reappeared later.
This can be done in a variety of ways, by either creating a special electrical field that is hard to detect, or by making the skin of the ship out of some material, such as Kevlar, which is a polyurethane fiber that absorbs the electromagnetic energy thereby preventing the radar beams from bouncing off the hull, and thus giving the position of the ship away.
The stealth bomber has a skin made up of a compound that absorbs radar beams. Tesla's link to the Philadelphia Experiment is often tied to his supposed association with Albert Einstein. I have completed an exhaustive study of Tesla's relationship to Albert Einstein and found out that there is no correspondence between them other than the famous letter Einstein sent to Tesla on Tesla's 75th birthday.
History of particle accelerators
There are no letters in either the Tesla Museum in Belgrade or the Einstein archives which are in Israel at the University of Jerusalem. Tesla has been linked to Einstein because of a famous photo which was taken on April 23, in New Brunswick, New Jersey in celebration of a new RCA transatlantic broadcasting station that was being put in operation.
Standing in between Steinmetz and Einstein was a man who resembled Nikola Tesla. I, myself, thought it was Tesla, and wrote an article which included this assumption for the ITS Symposium. Margaret Cheney and also R. Williams in their respective biographies also did the same thing. This photo has also been doctored to air-brush out all individuals except for Einstein and Steinmetz by the GE people who use it to imply a special relationship between Steinmetz and Einstein. The real reason why Einstein wrote Tesla was because of Kenneth Swezey, who was helping care for Tesla in the 's, 30's and early 40's, and who was writing a series of articles on the great inventor.
Swezey had befriended Einsten in the early 's after writing a treatise on relativity, and Einsten essentially wrote the letter as a favor to Swezey. So Tesla never really had a personal relationship with Einstein, nor is it likely that he worked on the Philadelphia Experiment.

Tesla, however, did work on radar inventions about and later around the time of WWI, which were outcroppings from his work at Wardenclyffe. Did Tesla ever marry or have a serious relationship which may have precluded marriage?
In the mid 's, Tesla told Dragislav Petkovich, a Serbian reporter for Politika Beograd, April 27, , that he had never touched a woman, but that he had also fallen in love once in his life while he was student. The girl's name was apparently Anna, and Tesla probably met her in Gospic on one of his trips back to his home town. Tesla kept in touch with Anna, and she eventually had a son who Tesla looked after when he came to New York City at the turn of the century.
Unfortunately, this boy was interested in boxing, and died in his first boxing match.

Later, of course, Tesla was captivated by a number of women such as playwright and musical composer Marguerite Merrington who never married and also Robert Johnson's wife Katharine. Tesla essentially took a vow of celibacy because he had devoted himself to science and felt that he would not have the time to pursue his interests if he had a wife and family to care for. Tesla was also friendly with many other women, many of whom were married to wealthy financiers. These included Anne Morgan who never married , daughter of J. Corine Robinson, who was Teddy Roosevelt's sister.
Tesla's sexuality, however, has always remained a mystery. Margaret Cheney suggests in her biography that Tesla may have been a homosexual, and this is repeated in Paul Baker's book on Stanford White. I have discovered no evidence to support this theory. I believe, essentially, that Tesla was more interested in inventing than in complicated heterosexual liaisons. Later in life he showered his affection on the city pigeons, and clearly transferred some of his romantic inclinations onto one particular white pigeon with brown tipped wings, which he told John O'Neill that he loved like a man would love a women.
Tesla was also influenced by such Buddhists as Swami Vivekananda, and thus believed that if he could transform his sexual energy through celibacy, he would raise his brain output to a higher level. A strong proponent of self-denial, and, essentially a spiritual man, it is likely that much of his passion was simply redirected into his work.
How did Tesla handle adverse situations like losing his financing for the Wardenclyffe project. Tesla's first major falling out with Morgan occurred in August of , shortly after Morgan's return from Europe, and this was during the Wall Street Panic of A few months later, Marconi sent the first ever recorded transatlantic message, and was thereby perceived as the new king of wireless. But one night in , at a meeting at the Yugoslavian Embassy, Tesla told the room that not only was his invention possible but he had already built one.
In fact, he would be unveiling it to the world in a matter of months. However, if Tesla had built a death ray, the world would never see it.
The death ray or death beam was a wave electric power weapon allegedly invented during the s and s. Guglielmo Marconi, Nikola Tesla, Harry. A”death ray” is a theoretical particle beam or electromagnetic weapon that was originally proposed independently during the s and 30s by.
Later that same year, Tesla was struck by a car while crossing the street and never really recovered. In , he died in the New Yorker Hotel where he had been living. But officially, they found nothing. So, the question is, what happened to it?
Definition:
The more likely explanation is that Tesla never actually built it. Tesla had suffered from mental illness for most of his life.
And even that technology is probably still decades or generations away. This is the area under discussion. However the American forces arrived first. Allied aircraft pounded the block hous and it's environs with lb bombs. I found at that time that no vibration took place when the bulb was very highly exhausted. He did not think that Tesla did this, however. The concept was right on the mark
In his later years, the same time he claimed to have built a death ray, his condition was rapidly growing worse. By the s, he began making frequent claims of major inventions, like a machine that ran on cosmic radiation. But like the death ray, if any existed then no one but Tesla ever saw them.
So, while Tesla was undoubtedly a brilliant scientist, the Tesla death ray is probably just one more invention that only existed in his head. Enjoy this look at the Tesla Death Ray?
