the fantastic inventions of nikola tesla - Exopolitics Hong Kong

Tests of the destructive ray, the Times continued, had began the previous August with the aid of German
technical experts.
A large, scale demonstration at Podosinsky Aerodrome near Moscow was so successful that the
revolutionary Military Council and the Political Bureau decided to fund enough electronic anti-aircraft
stations to protect sensitive areas of Russia. Similar, but more powerful, stations were to be constructed to
disable the electrical mechanisms of warships.
The Commander of the Soviet Air Services, Rosenholtz, was so overwhelmed by the ray weapon
demonstration that he proposed "to curtail the activity of the air fleet, because the invention rendered a
large air fleet unnecessary for the purpose of defense."
Tesla appears to have been the renegade scientist, eccentric and brilliant. However, after his finances had
been destroyed by Morgan, and indirectly by Westinghouse, Tesla was constantly broke. In lieu of money
on rent, in the early 1930's, Tesla gave the management of the Governor Clinton Hotel a supposed
invention of his to be used for collateral. He said that the device was very dangerous and worth $10,000.
In 1943, an MIT scientist, working for the National Defense Research Committee (NDRC) and
accompanied by the office of Naval Intelligence, John O. Trump, went to the hotel to retrieve the device,
after Tesla's death.
He was told that the invention could "detonate if opened by an unauthorized person." Trump stated that
he reflected momentarily upon his life before he opened the container. In his FBI report he stated
"Inside was a handsome wooden chest bound with brass... [containing] a multidecade resistance box of
the type used for a Wheatstone bridge resistance measurements—a common standard item found in every
electric laboratory before the turn of the century!"
According to Tesla researcher Dr. Marc Seifer, Tesla appears to have told both his pigeon caretaker and
an army engineer named Fitzgerald, a friend of Tesla's, that he had built a working model of a Death Ray.
Dr. Seifer says that a number of people closely associated with Tesla would recount stories, circa 1918, of
Tesla bouncing electronic beams off the moon. Seifer says that this is not a Death Ray, but it certainly
supports the hypothesis that the inventor created working models along those lines.
According to Dr. Seifer, Tesla drew up "artist conceptions" in the mid-1930s that were "made of a
building with a tower in the form of a cylinder 16.5 feet in diameter, 115 feet tall. The structure was
capped at the top by a 10 meter diameter sphere (covered with hemispheric shells as in the 1914
patent)."The inventor had also contacted people at Alcoa Aluminum throughout 1935 who were "ready to
start as soon as Tesla advanced the funds."
Two years later, at the 81, the inventor stated at a luncheon attended by ministers of Yugoslavia and
Czechoslovakia that he had constructed a number of beam transmission devices including the death ray
for protecting a country from incoming invasions and a laser-like machine that could send impulses to the
moon and other planets.
According to Dr. Seifer, Tesla also said that he was going to take the death ray to a Geneva conference
for world peace.; When pressed by the columnists to "give a full description..., Dr. Tesla said..., "But it is
not an experiment... I have built, demonstrated and used it Only a little time will pass before I can give it
to the world."
Another Tesla scholar who believes that Tesla built a "death ray" is Oliver Nichelson, who has written
quite a bit on Tesla, including an article entitled "Nicola Tesla's Long Range Weapon" (1989).
Picking up the death ray stories on the wire services on the other side of the world, the Colorado Springs
Gazette, ran a local interest item on May 30th. With the headline: Tesla Discovered 'Death Ray' in
Experiments He Made Here," the story recounted, with a feeling of local pride, the inventor's 1899
researches financed by John Jacob Astor.
Tesla's Colorado Springs tests were well remembered by local residents. With a 200 foot pole topped by a
large copper sphere rising above his laboratory he generated potentials that discharged lightning bolts up
