They must have hired the architectural firm Archimedes & Son
They hid it in plain sight, pure genius! Just like National Treasure, or the Da Vinci Code!
And let’s be honest, if a couple of Vegas tourists disappear, that’s acceptable losses. Those are table stakes (steaks?) for a good death ray. Ah the death ray, the historical antecedent for the BFG 9000.
check out the description of the death ray at:
http://www.teslasociety.com/deathray.htm
You’d think a fan of Tesla would know the difference between a particle beam and a laser:
“… a concentrated beam of sub-microscopic particles flying at velocities approaching that of light. … Particle beams are special sorts of electro-magnetic waves, a special sort of light. … Not only are all the waves the same length, but they are lined up so that the tops (peaks) of the waves coincide with each other.”
The man had a gift for creativity, physical intuition, and inventiveness that was truly otherworldly.
Whipped Hagiography!
This man invented the use of three phasees for
AC systems, that is all.
He was a genius indeed with respect to propaganda,
especially his “showmanship” in lectures was outstanding.
“Death Ray” tales are either a total invention
by writers or fueled by the problem that Tesla
had wasted/lost all his fortune.
Georg
Clearly Tesla was an extra-terrestrial. They are among us. Stop denying it.
time for Jamie and Adam to get on the case!
Jamie & Adam already did this one (skip a few minutes in):
