The Most Destructive Weapon Tesla Ever Made

this episode of the Y files is brought. to you by private internet access. [Music]. on June 30th 1908 a mysterious explosion. shook the remote Siberian region of. tunguska the blast flattened 80 million. trees across 800 square miles every. plant every animal every insect in the. blast radius was vaporized the Shockwave. was felt as far away as England it. looked like a comet impact yet no crater. was found and no debris was discovered. scientists still can't explain what. happened but at that exact moment on the.

other side of the world Nikola Tesla was. conducting his latest experiment. transmitting massive amounts of. electricity through the atmosphere Tesla. activated the generators in his lab and. fired up Warden Cliff tower for one. final dramatic test and sent millions of. volts of electricity into the sky after. the test was complete Tesla looked at. the readings on his equipment and said. uh-oh. [Music].

inventor and Visionary Nikola Tesla was. known for his groundbreaking ideas that. shaped the world of science and. technology however there was one. invention that remained shrouded in. mystery and controversy a weapon of. unimaginable power he called it the. Tesla gun but it became known by a more. ominous name the Tesla death ray Tesla's. fascination with electricity led him to. conceive of a weapon that could destroy. entire armies from a great distance the. science behind the death ray was based. on Tesla's experiments with high. frequency electricity Tesla believed.

that energy could be transmitted. wirelessly over great distances the. weapon was designed as a large Tesla. coil which consisted of a series of. capacitors that could store vast amounts. of electrical energy the energy was then. released in a concentrated beam which. could be directed toward a Target oh it. sounds a lot like the Death Star it does. but I don't think that's be so proud of. this technological Terror you've. constructed the ability to destroy a. planet is insignificant when it comes to. the power of the fourth don't try to.

frighten us with your sorcerer's ways. Lord hecklefish You're a sad Devotion to. that ancient religion has not helped you. convince more people to join patreon or. giving you Clairvoyance enough to see. what videos the YouTube algorithm will. [Music]. release him yes you wish. Tesla wanted to create a weapon that. could be powered by a small portable. generator with enough power to destroy. anything in its path fleets of planes.

fields of tanks and even entire cities. he described the potential of the death. ray as a device that would harness. unlimited free energy from the space all. around us I have harnessed the cosmic. rays and caused them to operate a molded. device this new power for driving of the. world's Machinery will be derived from. the energy which operates the universe. the cosmic energy which holds Central. source for the Earth is the Sun and. which is everywhere present in unlimited.

quantities Tesla's reasons for inventing. the death ray were rooted in his strong. belief in World Peace he hoped that the. weapon would act as a deterrent to war. that if every nation possessed the. ability to destroy each other there'd be. no point in Waging War at all and this. Ultimate Weapon would usher in a new age. of peace all right like how this been. World Peace ever since the nuclear bomb. was invented sarcasm shop a bowling ball. this human eh obviously political and. military leaders were worried about. Tesla's invention wherever they could.

they tried to interfere they prevented. him from getting patents they made it. difficult for him to receive funding it. became a priority to do anything and. everything possible to prevent Tesla. from creating this weapon but it didn't. matter what they did Tesla already built. it. in 1908 just months before the tunguska. event renowned Explorer Admiral Robert. Peary set out on an expedition to the. North Pole a feat that had never before. been accomplished well except for Stan. and his wifey in a tiny reindeer and.

Rudolph and a whole buttload of elves. thanks for that helpful clarification. hey h-y-m-e despite the numerous. challenges Admiral Perry was determined. to reach the North Pole and make history. The Journey would not be easy the harsh. Arctic environment made the Expedition. incredibly difficult and dangerous the. team faced extreme cold blizzards and. unpredictable terrain despite these. risks Perry was determined to succeed. but he would need a new technology to.

help him navigate the desolate region. this is where Nikola Tesla came in in. 1904 Tesla developed a new type of radio. receiver that could detect signals from. the death ray and this receiver was used. by Admiral Peery during his North Pole. Expedition and was claimed that it. helped him navigate through the. Hazardous Arctic terrain but that was. 1904. by 1906 Tesla's chief financial. backer JP Morgan was growing impatient. with Tesla and the lack of financial. return if JP Morgan withdrew funding. Tesla's plans would be ruined as the.

relationship between Morgan and Tesla. began to sour Nikola Tesla knew he. needed to do something dramatic to. secure his funding and secure his future. Tesla knew the world was watching. Admiral Perry's expedition to the North. Pole and thought this was the perfect. opportunity to demonstrate the awesome. power of His invention he would fire a. bolt of energy toward ellsmere and light. up the skies creating the greatest light. show the world had ever seen just two. months before tunguska Tesla wrote this. this is not a dream even now Wireless.

power plants could be constructed by. which in the region of the globe might. be rendered uninhabitable without. subjecting the population of other parts. to Serious danger or inconvenience at. the time of the tunguska blast in 1908. Perry was camped out at ellsmere Island. preparing for a final push to the pole. Tesla set period a cryptic message. saying the extreme cold and isolation. make the Arctic the perfect location for. this type of experiment Tesla told.

period to watch the skies above the. tundra for a signal Perry asked Tesla. what kind of signal he should be looking. for Tesla told him that he'll know it. when he sees it uh-oh back at Warden. Cliff tower on the North Shore of Long. Island New York the Moment of Truth had. arrived Tesla took a deep breath and. activated the machine that would send. the charged particles coursing through. an intricate network of wires and coils. at first the tower generated a low hum. but the sound grew louder and louder. until it was a deafening Roar once the.

machine was fully charged a beam of. light brighter than the sun shot out of. warden Cliff Tower and sliced through. the air for 10 or 15 seconds vast. amounts of energy poured into the. atmosphere then it suddenly stopped. Darkness followed and the only sound was. a crackling of static from the residual. electricity created by the machine Tesla. felt an intense Rush of exhilaration the. machine worked he knew his funding would. be secure and he could continue his work. but Tesla's excitement would last only a. few moments he looked at the readings on.

his death ray machine it worked but it. worked too well rather than a dazzling. light show Tesla had created a massive. wave of energy a thousand times more. powerful than an atomic bomb this. immense power caused the energy beam to. overshoot its Target it didn't light up. the sky above ellsmere it made landfall. somewhere in Russia but even Tesla. didn't know how destructive his weapon. really was. foreign.

I woke up to the sound of the earth. crumbling beneath my feet I could hear. the trees outside my cabin being ripped. from the ground and crashing down all. around me at first I thought it was an. earthquake but the air was filled with. the sound of the explosions and gunfire. something dark and terrible was. happening outside as I stumbled out of. my kitten and into the forest I could. see the sky lighting up with the fiery. orange glow it was like this sun had.

risen in the middle of the night and the. air was thick with the smell of smoke. and burning wood suddenly there was a. blinding flash that illuminated the. entire forest and the sound of a. deafening boom that shook me to my core. I fell to the ground my ears ring you. with the force of the explosion and any. struggled to regain my bearings the. trees around me were torn from the. ground and I could hear the sound of. splintering wood and snapping branches.

see Graham shook so violently that I. thought it might open up and swallow me. I could feel the Shockwave from the. blast hearing through the forest I saw. trees being flattened in all directions. and I was pelted with debris from the. explosion the ear was thick with dust. and Ash and it was getting harder and. hardened Breeze princess finally cleared. the forest was a Charged Wasteland the. trees had been ripped from the ground. and there was nothing left but stumps in.

Ash the air was thick with the smell of. burning wood there were no sounds a. birds or insects or animals just easy. silence I never felt so alone in my. entire life. on June 30th 1908 a massive explosion. occurred in the remote tunguska region. of Siberia releasing an estimated 15. megatons of energy the explosion. flattened an area of over 800 square. miles no animal or plant in the blast.

radius survived 80 million trees were. reduced to Cinders no birds or insects. had time to escape thousands of animals. on the ground were vaporized the. scientific Community still debates the. cause of the tunguska event some. theories suggest that it was caused by a. natural gas explosion or a nuclear. detonation caused by extraterrestrial. spacecraft oh get on but many people. believe it was a Nikola Tesla experiment. that got out of control the prevailing. theory is that the explosion was caused.

by an air burst a large comet that. exploded in the Earth's atmosphere but. there are some problems with this Theory. eyewitnesses have reported seeing lights. in the sky both before and for days. after the event meteors don't do this. even as far away as England the sky was. lit up newspapers were flooded with. reports of night turning in today one. reporter said he was able to read a book. in the middle of the night using nothing. but the strange light in the sky. eyewitnesses also report the ground. shaking like an earthquake for a long. time before the impact one witness said.

it was powerful enough to reduce a. skyscraper to Rubble the seismic. activity was enough to knock people off. their feet and the effects were felt all. over Europe as far away as the UK a. meteor air burst would look like a. streak of light or fire and then an. explosion this would last only a few. seconds but Reports say a wide beam of. light was in the sky for much longer. than. locals said the air got very cold at. first then the sky lit up brighter than. the Sun and suddenly the air was very. very hot also there's no meteor crater.

or traces of meteorite in the area and. if you draw a line from Tesla's lab in. New York to Ellesmere Island and. continue that line you end up in Siberia. very close to if not the exact point of. impact the explosion happened at an. altitude of four or five miles this is. much higher than most meteor Air Bursts. luckily the Impact Zone happened in. Siberia one of the most remote places on. Earth yeah but what if this happened to. a city well if the tunguska event were. to occur over a major city it it would.

be bad how bad. oh no here comes the scary music the. sudden explosion would generate a. massive shock wave that would rip. through the city like a tornado. demolishing buildings and all. infrastructure in its path the shock. wave would be followed by a searing. Fireball that would incinerate. everything leaving behind nothing but. smoldering Ash the sheer force of the. explosion would create a hurricane of. debris and shrapnel anything not firmly. attached to the ground would be thrown. into the air cars trucks boats planes.

people the resulting Firestorm would. continue to spread fueled by the intense. heat and winds generated by the blast. streets and buildings would be consumed. by a raging Inferno trapping anyone who. would survived the initial blast in an. ocean of flames and smoke in the. aftermath of such an event the death. toll would be staggering in the millions. the City and surrounding landscape would. be unrecognizable as frightening as it. is that one man could create a device.

that could wreak this kind of. Devastation it's even more more. frightening than another tunguska event. Could Happen anywhere at any time. without warning and if it does there's. nothing we can do to stop it. the death ray also known as the Tesla. gun was a weapon that was said to be. capable of destroying entire armies with. a single shot while Tesla's weapon is. still shrouded in mystery and. controversy the idea of a directed. energy weapon is based on sound. scientific principles so of course.

modern militaries are developing that. same old story create technology that. kills as many people as possible then. profit from it maybe these weapons are. used to protect our freedom drink some. more Kool-Aid sheep the basic principle. of directed energy weapons or Dews is. the conversion of electrical energy into. an electromagnetic or particle beam. which is then directed toward the target. the type of energy used and the method. of delivery vary depending on the weapon. some tews use lasers some use microwaves. and others use particle beams for.

example lasers work by emitting a. concentrated beam of light that can burn. blind or disable a Target microwave. weapons use high frequency. electromagnetic radiation to heat up or. damage the target particle beam weapon. use accelerated charged particles such. as electrons or protons to cause damage. the effectiveness of a directed energy. weapon depends on several factors the. power of the energy being the duration. of the beam and the distance between the. weapon and the target range is critical. especially if the target is moving.

because the weapon has to be able to. track and maintain a lock directed. energy weapons are being deployed right. now they've been used to disable. missiles drones and other Airborne. threats as well as provide non-lethal. crowd control measures. oh Nikola Tesla had a deep understanding. of particle physics and electromagnetic. Theory his energy weapon used particles. the particles which could be electrons. protons or ions would be accelerated to. high speeds and focused in a beam using. powerful magnetic fields the beam would.

then be directed at the Target where it. would cause massive damage but the idea. of a directed energy weapon was around. before Nikola Tesla but if anyone could. create it it was him though no one. officially saw it in use Tesla claimed. his prototype worked Tesla himself. fueled the speculation he wrote several. letters to the New York Times explaining. the potential of his invention as to. projecting wave energy to any particular. region of the globe this can be done by. my devices the spot at which the desired. of threat is to be produced can be.

calculated very closely assuming the. accepted terrestrial measurements to be. correct but is this what really happened. at tunguska was the explosion the result. of a Tesla experiment gone awry like. many people believe or was it the result. of a meteor airborne first what would be. helpful is if we had modern evidence of. a large meteor air burst to help us. better understand guska we have it we do. it happened in 2013. and this time we. have video. and it's terrifying.

[Music]. actually. [Music].

[Music]. [Music]. on February 15 2013 a blinding flash of.

light tore through the sky over the. Russian city of chelybinsk followed by a. deafening explosion That Shook the Earth. local residents were stunned terrified. and Confused the event which has since. become known as the chelyabins meteor. was one of the most dramatic and. mysterious events in recent history and. remains a testament to the scary power. of the universe the meteor that caused. the Chelyabinsk event was estimated to. be around 60 feet in diameter and. weighed over 10 000 tons it entered the.

Earth's atmosphere at a speed of. approximately 19 kilometers per second. how fast is that in a number we can. actually understand 12 miles per second. or 43 000 miles per hour almost 60 times. the speed of sound yeah I understand. that and now I'm terrified the fireball. glowed 30 times brighter than the sun so. bright and so hot that people suffered. burns on their skin and damage to their. eyes the resulting explosion was. estimated to be equivalent to 5 500.

kilotons of TNT making it one of the. most powerful non-nuclear explosions. ever recorded the shock wave shattered. Windows damaged over 1 000 buildings and. injured 1500 people unlike tunguska. scientists were able to study the Chely. events meteor in detail they found that. the meteor was likely a remnant of the. early solar system and had been. traveling through space for about four. and a half billion years before. colliding with Earth the Chely binsk. event also served as a wake-up call for. the scientific Community because nobody. saw it coming there was Zero warning.

these types of meteor Air Bursts and. impacts happened every day whenever you. see a shooting star that's a small. meteor burning up in the atmosphere but. larger impacts happen pretty often too. every 10 or 15 years but they usually. happen over the ocean so we don't notice. but that's just dumb luck the dunguska. event was 10 000 times more powerful. than the one at chelybinsk enough to. easily wipe out a large city but the. chixier lube impact that happened 66. million years ago that wiped out about.

75 percent of all species on Earth. including all the dinosaurs and that. wasn't even the biggest asteroid to hit. the earth not even close so it's not a. matter of if it'll happen again it's. just a matter of when now fortunately. scientists are taking this threat. seriously NASA's double asteroid. redirection test or Dart Mission. conducted a successful test on September. 26 2022 it intentionally slammed into. the asteroid called dimorphos and. altered its orbit by 33 minutes now. that's not very much but when.

considering the vast distances of space. a 33-minute change could be the. difference between an asteroid passing. by harmlessly or wiping out all life on. Earth there are over 1 million asteroids. in our solar system and NASA is. currently tracking over 30 000. near-earth asteroids or neas that are. potential threats still that's only 90. percent of the dangerous objects zipping. around the solar system because look the. dinosaurs didn't have a space program. well what Lee amazing people have a.

space program everybody knows that oh. are lizard people going to protect us. from asteroids no way lizard people want. an asteroid it'll save them a lot of. work when most humans are wiped out but. then they can enslave the rest is well. that's reassuring I don't worry lizard. people are known to be strict but fair. overlords the universe is full of. Wonders but also full of dangers we have. to do everything we can and deploy every. possible resource to ensure that we. don't experience another jelly events or. another tunguska or another chick.

shiloop Our Fate is up to us and up to. the illicit people please don't step on. my lines when I'm trying to be dramatic. and hopeful oh excuse me you have to. acknowledge illicit people. and even if they did they should be more. worried about asteroids. [Music]. foreign. the Tesla Death Ray and the potential. connection between the two is an example. of the power of human imagination and. the endless possibilities of Science and.

Technology while the theory that the. death ray caused the explosion Remains. unproven the story serves as a reminder. of the potential that scientific. discovery and technological innovation. have to change the world the legacy of. Nikola Tesla is not just in his. inventions but also in his vision for. the future Tesla was a forward thinker. who believed that Science and Technology. held the key to a brighter and a better. world he once said We crave for New. Sensations but soon become indifferent. to them the wonders of yesterday are. today common occurrences now that's.

certainly true look at smartphones these. devices are marvels of engineering. packed with Advanced sensors processors. and software that allow us to. communicate learn and entertain. ourselves in ways that were unimaginable. just a few decades ago yet despite their. incredible capabilities we treat them as. if they were as mundane as a toaster or. vacuum cleaner the same could be said. for many other Innovations from. self-driving cars and drones to virtual. reality and artificial intelligence. we've become so accustomed to the.

incredible power and potential of these. technologies that we sometimes forget. how amazing they truly are but when. Tesla said the wonders of yesterday are. today common occurrences he wasn't. scolding us that was a dream that he had. that technology specifically his. technology would be available to. everyone everywhere in the world Tesla's. vision for the future was that Science. and Technology would improve The Human. Condition he saw a world where energy. was abundant and cheap where people. could communicate instantly across vast.

distances and where machines could do. the work that humans once had to do by. hand he believed that these advancements. could lead to a better and more. prosperous world for all and he was. right seventy percent of all products We. Touch can be traced back to Tesla. including 100 of products that use. electricity his ideas continue to. inspire Electric cars solar power and. wireless communication owed debt to. Tesla in the end the story of the. tunguska event and Tesla's death ray is. not just about the potential for. Destruction and chaos but also about the.

incredible power of human Ingenuity and. the Limitless potential of Science and. Technology Tesla said the present is. theirs the future of which I really work. is mine but because of him the future. now belongs to all of us. hope we use it wisely. [Music].

what's this. um I need to work remotely for a while. well you told me people aren't. productive working remotely don't rub. that. [Music]. I got myself in a little trouble. what websites were you on that's not. important right now let's.

hold you always use a private internet. access VPN when doing anything online. are you crazy I know. more privacy features than any other. software and real-time protection from. malware and trackers I know I use it on. my PC to change my IP address so I can. watch movies that aren't available in. America it's just I was using my phone. and I forgot Mac PC iOS Android it. doesn't matter what device you're using. private internet access keeps your data.

safe and gives you better privacy. protection than any other VPN out there. what were you thinking I know I really. screwed up this time by the way where. are you yeah I can't tell you that let's. just say there are several governments. that would like to see me batting. that sounds delicious actually quit. screwing around you better tell all the. humans to get a VPN the Men in Black are. keeping tips on everyone who watches. this stupid show good idea if you go to. piavpn.com Y files you save 83 and can.

protect your data for as little as two. bucks a month it's worth it trust me and. if you're not happy for any reason. there's a 30-day money-back guarantee no. questions asked that's. what was that oh no I think they found. me. was that French are you in France not. exactly. [Music]. look I gotta go I have to put on my. disguise you your disguise yeah uh p i a. vpn.com y files sweet day so late.

grab a VPN now and don't make the same. mistake I did. film sexy did you just say you're a. femme sexy don't break my horns this is. serious. [Music]. foreign. thanks so much for hanging out with us. today my name is AJ that's hacklefish.
