Nikola Tesla"s Death Ray

Publicly unveiled in 1934, Tesla proffered an amazing new device to the US Military. It was named ""Teleforce." The device was the first "particle beam projector" in history to be taken seriously i.e., it was the first one that was deemed realistic and plausible. Tesla had stated in his early talks with the US Government that the device could attack a target 250 miles away - leveling millions of soldiers or even a fleet of 10,000 aircraft. Myths and rumors regarding this device abound. Today, in honor of Halloween, we"d like to discuss one of these rumors surrounding this death ray.

There are many rumors stating that Tesla"s early prototypes were fired over the arctic circle in the early 1900s. One such rumor was propagated by apparent eye-witnesses involved in his lab complex whom relayed information to the media. They stated that Tesla fired the weapon at a location at the North Pole, but atmospheric distortion and the curvature of the Earth deflected the beam. As a result, they claim that the beam did not hit where it intended. ""Teleforce."
