[edit] Nikola Tesla Legends

These are widely dispersed legends about the inventor Nikola Tesla, containing fact, fiction, or both. Many of his achievements have been used, sometimes inappropriately and with some controversy, to support various pseudosciences, UFO theories, and New Age occultism. Tesla is called the grandfather of electronics and is certainly a legend among both scientists and science fiction fans.


  • Free Electricity Contest: A science contest challenged scientists to invent a generator that makes zero cost electricity. If invented, it would lower the cost of living and thus reduce poverty worldwide. The contest was open to everyone and was reported by the news. Geniuses Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein joined the contest. Einstein won the contest with his invention nuclear power. Tesla invented electricity-based motors related to his Dynamo Electric Machine and the Wardenclyffe Tower. Some believe that Tesla should have won the contest, because people today pay an electric bill to nuclear power plants. In Einstein's time, nuclear power was thought to be zero cost. Also, Einstein had only a formula then, and no working machine, whereas Tesla had working machines. Tesla's power was also non-polluting, whereas nuclear plants make nuclear waste byproduct. Some believe the electric companies wanted people to continue paying electric bills, so they favored Einstein's formula, which was years before it would become a real machine.
  • The Philadelphia Experiment: Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein participated in the planning tech of the U.S. military's secret efforts to invent a device that could allegedly make planes and ships invisible to radar or even invisible to the naked eye. According to the legend, the military stumbled onto uncontrolled space-time travel/teleportation technology instead, centuries before it should have been invented. The fact that Tesla and Einstein had genius level IQs and were the highest authorities in their respective fields (electronics and quantum physics) lends credence to the tale: if anyone in the world could invent time-space travel, it would be two of the smartest men in the world.
  • Radio Aliens: Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi (patent inventer of radio) tried to communicate with aliens, before the SETI project. Tesla & Marconi heard chirping noises, which sounded intelligent, but was actually a natural sound produced by the atmosphere.
  • UFOs: Some of Teslas' claimed/theorized inventions are similar to the devices used by UFO-driving aliens, such as death rays, force fields, free energy, space-time travel, etc. This has lead some to believe that Tesla may have had contact with aliens.


[edit] Tesla Claimed Inventions

Tesla theorized about, planned to build, or claimed to invent the following inventions.

  • Electric Submarine
  • Wireless Torpedo: Based on his patent 613,809 for "teleautomation", Tesla hoped to develop the "wireless torpedo" into an automated weapon system for the US Navy.
  • Ozone Generator
  • Wireless Transmission of Electricity: electricity transmitted from power stations and received by antennas on houses and electric cars
  • Teleforce/Death Ray: a destructive energy transmitter he claimed to have built "when unavoidble... may be used to destroy property and life."--- Nikola Telsa, 1915. He was believed to be working on a form of death ray at the time of his death. He offered the US War Department the secrets of his "teleforce" weapon on January 5, 1943 but was assumed to be crazy. He was found dead 3 days later and, after the FBI was contacted by the War Department, his papers were declared to be top secret. It appears that his proposed death ray was related to his research into ball lightning and plasma.
  • Mechanical Oscillator: compresses air until the air is a liquid
  • Free Energy: $0 electricity and $0 heat tapped from the earth's natural electricity (not energy created from nothing)
  • War Robots: Tesla envisioned wars of machines, not of human soldiers. He made the first of a race of robots which could carry out combat maneuvers. These weapons' destructive actions and ranges would have virtually no limit, he believed.
  • Earthquake Machine: a pocket-sized device that could shake a building apart by piling up waves of energy
  • Tesla Shield: a theorized electromagnetic shell which armaments could not penetrate. It was a magnetic field dome made of energy that will eventually be built big enough to protect a city from attack during wars. Tesla shields would transmit electrical energy without wires and produce destructive effects at a distance. Today, the beginnings of force field technology is being built and tested using plasma. Currently, it is successful in repelling electromagnetic waves only.
  • Anti-Gravity Aircraft: gravo-electric aircraft
  • Thought Camera: In 1933, Tesla theorized about a device that could photograph thoughts. "I expect to photograph thoughts...In 1893, while engaged in certain investigations, I became convinced that a definite image formed in thought, must by reflex action, produce a corresponding image on the retina, which might be read by a suitable apparatus. This brought me to my system of television which I announced at that time..."
  • Planet Machines: Tesla theorized about energy from the planets' rotation. "One day man will connect his apparatus to the very wheelwork of the universe... and the very forces that motivate the planets in their orbits and cause them to rotate will rotate his own machinary," predicted Nikola Tesla.

[edit] Tesla in Science fiction and computer games

Tesla technology is recurring in alternate history works like steampunk, or stories concerning secret pre WWII technology

  • Tesla appears as a character in the 1995 novel The Prestige by Christopher Priest.
  • Tesla also makes a brief appearance as a character in the 1989 novel Moon Palace by Paul Auster.
  • Tesla is a continuing character in a series of novels by Spider Robinson concerned with Callahan's Crosstime Saloon.
  • In the ZBS series of audio plays The Adventures of Ruby, Tesla is considered to be the deity of technicians and engineers and can be summoned with a special chant near a reproduction of a Tesla Coil.
  • The Tesla Coils and Tesla troopers of the PC games Command & Conquer: Red Alert and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 are named in his honor.
  • The superperson Nikola Tesla is a Japanese comic (manga).
  • Tesla is a character in the DC Elseworlds comic, JLA: Age of Wonder
  • Tesla is a playable character in the game Martian Dreams, from the Worlds of Ultima spin-off series by Origin games
  • The Tesla Cannon in the Blood series of computer games is a weapon that shoots electric projectiles, possibly intended to represent ball lightning.
  • The Tesla Coil was a buildable Sentry Tower for a Quake Modification called "Shaka" Team Fortress - a now defunct mod. The sentry was stationary and shot arcs of lightning at enemies.
  • The Tesla Gun in the computer game Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a weapon that projects lightning-like electrical arcs.
  • The Tesla Armor of the Fallout series of computer games provides excellent protection against laser and plasma/electrical attack types.
  • In the computer game Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, there are items such as the Tesla Ring and the Tesla Rod, which can both be created by the player using the technological skill Electricity.
  • The Tesla Barrier in the PS2 game Ratchet & Clank is a powerful force field that protects the player and kills nearby enemies with electricity.
  • The Tesla Claw in the PS2 game Ratchet & Clank is a powerful weapon shooting electricity arcs which are self-guiding due to the fact that the lightning grounds itself in the nearest enemy.

[edit] Steitztown Addendum to ["Lebanon PA"], and from new entry or redirect

Lebanon PA, USA - origially called "Steitztown", after George Steitz, who laid out the town circa 1746. I know this from the sign at the city line on one of the main streets into the city.
