Using a particle beam, Nikola Tesla claimed to have developed a weapon that would make war impossible. The weapon could destroy up to 10,000 enemy planes at 250 miles. The weapon was also believed to have the ability to generate a huge electrical repelling force. Tesla's greatest invention is the death ray. The weapon is a beam of particles, which is composed many waves of different lengths and aligned so that their peaks coincide.
According to the narrator Tesla claims to have created a particle beam similar to the one he filed in 1937. The weapon would expel large amounts of particles and shoot a strong beam of light that would destroy any target. According to some reports, the weapon would release a small amount of the earth's magnet charge to produce enough energy to cause a Tunguska-style explosion.
This episode also discussed the many scientific and technological interests that Tesla has. He was also believed to have been connected to an alien energy grid. This is a prophecy and futurism. Space beings were also believed to have given him alien plans for a particle beam weapons.
He also was said to have patented a wireless transmitter and a power generating obelisk. His tower could generate 300 kilowatts, enough power to light one light bulb. He also owned a tower capable of sending 10 kilowatts power to the other end of the planet. He also owned a special nozzle which would blow air around a tube that created an evacuated space. This nozzle was thought to be the key that generated the particle beam Tesla claimed to have created.
The episode also reveals that Tesla was a genius and had odd quirks. It was revealed that he had a special interest in pigeons. Anna was his love interest. He gave up meat when he was in his twenties. He also had a peculiar dislike for pearls. He would not talk to women who wore pearls. This may have been due an obsessive/compulsive disorder. He believed that sex would make his scientific work less effective.
Part 2 of the episode focuses on the science and technology behind Tesla's particle beam. This is the most impressive part. It was claimed to be capable of producing a white light that combines many length waves.
The episode also discusses a "prophecy" that was said to have been written by Tesla about the particle beam that he developed. This prophecy was said to be related to the first of his four inventions that were claimed to be able to end all war. The particle beam was a "special form of light."
Although the narration states that the "best light" is the white light that emits long waves, the laser seems to be the most effective of these two technologies. Lasers can produce a beam that is shorter than a light bulb, but it would still spread over a long distance.
