[edit] Cleanup subjects

I added the cleanup tag because this odd, disjointed article needs sources for some of its statements; other statements are either irrelevant or need a lot of explaining on why they're relevant to the article.

First off, it would be useful to mention how long he was working on this, what exactly was the New York Sun article, where was he working on it, was it a side-project of his or did it consume his life. These details would make this subject worthy of an encyclopedia article.
Teleforce applications and particle beam device must meet four conditions and involved four inventions...

Must meet them? According to whom? Is this something written by Tesla? Source please.

(four bullets following)

Some items are italicized. Does this mean it's a quote from one of Tesla's notebooks? Source please.

The generating device, reportedly from some sources, is embodied upon a large Van de Graaff generator...

This rather credulous line implies that the death ray was constructed. I presume it should read something like The generating device would presumably be a large Van de Graaff generator...

...were accelerated in a vacuum...

Again, credulous, sounds like the writer stood there and watched the death ray machine working.

...The particles were projected out of the tube...

Same credulity.

Teleforce's mechanical power transmission system...

What does this have to do with the previous paragraph, or the teleforce system as a whole?

The concepts of teleforce is reasonably founded on...

I don't understand this paragraph. Is the writer saying that the teleforce concept is plausible? If so, then if it's so plausible, why hasn't someone invented it in the subsequent 70 years?

The principles of underground mineral detection are not well understood.

What does this have to do with the rest of the article?

Much information comes from Tesla's 1937 patent application for the "death ray", published in the 1984 symposium proceedings of the Intl Tesla Society. We need the source details. Tesla proposed a gigantic VandeGraaff machine tower, with a particle-beam "gun" mounted within its metal sphere. The particle beam was to be created in vacuum then passed through a specially designed orfice described in earlier patents. --Wjbeaty 17:34, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

"Tesla" is mispelled "Telsa". I tried to fix it but I think someone reverted the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.48.131 (talk • contribs)

It appears to have been fixed since then. RJFJR 01:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conspiracy section

The entire article is a mess, but this section in particular was unacceptable:

[edit] Pseudoscience, Conspiracy Theory, etc.

Teleforce principles would have introduced a new generalization of physics.

The concepts of teleforce is reasonably founded on the alternating current polyphase wireless transmission systems developed by Tesla and is related to general mechanical energy principles.

The principles of wirelessly transceiving high potentials (in the millions of volts) and transmitting high tension currents on narrow radiant energy ultraviolet ionizing beams by means of conductive rarefied gasous media (similar to the means of artificially creating auroral displays) are incorporated (and thus eliminates the need of a high vacuum).

“Death ray” research is the basis of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program.

The “death ray” was responsible for the Tunguska event.
