The Nikola Tesla Death Ray brought to life by scientists!
Summary
Often shrouded in mystery and a whole load of speculation, the Death Ray represents Tesla’s ambition for a weapon which could ultimately end all war, something he personally dubbed the ‘teleforce.’ Being theorised in 1934, just prior to the deadliest conflict in human history, and following the relent of the First World War, such a concept would have been a great deterrent invention and could have saved (or taken) many lives. One theory suggests that Tesla intended to employ his earlier invention, the magnifying transmitter, to generate and focus an intense beam of electromagnetic energy. A researcher and inventor in the field of mixed reality and human-computer interaction, Cheok worked alongside a team of professors at the University of Adelaide for almost ten years to produce the device, which required four newly developed pieces of technology. Put these together and you now have your very own Nikola Tesla ‘Death Ray,’ capable of “bringing down planes at a distance of up to 500km, and killing soldiers without a trace,” according to the release statement of the invention. Operating entirely in silence, the device sends concentrated particles through the air to the intended target at a range “the curvature of the earth would permit.”
