Tesla weapon??

Nope. Ain't real. We understand 1000x more now than Tesla did, and if such as thing were possible using early 20th century technology, we'd know how to do it by now.
 
No such weapon ever existed or was ever under developement by the US government.


Now look into the red light...

Let's all chip in and buy this tool a link to Google. Maybe once he has it he will leave us alone.

Or maybe we already have...
 
You can't really use them as weapons (how would you aim it?) but tesla coils are real. They're not too hard to build either.

 
not as far as we know. maybe you can use a gigantic tesla coil tower as a weapon by directing its output with a beam of conductive fluid or ionizing radiation but I imagine a rocket launcher would be far more effective.

I doubt it...we'd have used it by now, and it would have been REALLY evident.
 
It wasent a weapon, it was supposed to be a method of power distribution, tesla coils really exist but theyre current purpose is just basiaclly to ah heck around with high voltages, test faraday? cages and the like. Not such a useful weapon like in C&C.
 
We don't know because Tesla's documentation of his discoveries is still classified secret.

Regardless whatever is widely known, the man himself had unique insights & novel, extremely idiosyncratic ways of seeing things we still don't know about.

Only one of many examples: Nikola Tesla powered an automobile with zero fuel, other than what he tuned into electrically, freely available. He rode in the shotgun seat as it drove around for several days.

And, alas, some are quick to vomit forth a clueless opinion based upon an obviously embarassing ignorance of history, Go read the books, grasshopper.
