Tesla is truly a bizarre genius, and his ideas not only transcend the era but also transcend the framework of the world's scientific and technological capabilities now.
Here are a few examples of Tesla's bizarre inventions. These ideas are not completely created and developed, or leave drawings or designs that can be verified for posterity.

1. Earthquake machine
In 1893, Tesla licensed a steam generator oscillator. Years after registering for the invention, he told a reporter that one day while editing the machine at his laboratory in New York, Tesla shook the ground.
During the test, Tesla continually increased its power and heard a crack somewhere. "Suddenly," he recalls: "All the machines in the room were flying around. I grabbed the hammer and smashed the machine. It only took a few minutes for the whole house to collapse." Police later arrived at the scene to check, but Tesla told his assistant to be quiet and reported that "this was an earthquake."
2. Thinking machine
Tesla said that "photographing" the mind is quite possible. The inspiration came from his experiments in 1893. Tesla told a journalist decades later: "I believe that a definite picture of thought, reflexively, will produce an image on retina, and can be "photographed" on a corresponding device ".
The inventor also thought about an artificial retina that can capture and project images on a projection screen. "If this becomes a reality, an object imagined by humans can be clearly reflected on the screen as soon as it is formed." He answered: "And in this way all human thoughts can be read like an open book."
3. Wireless power
In 1901, Tesla received $ 150,000 from investor J. P. Morgan to build a 56-meter-tall mushroom tower on the north bank of Long Island. It is capable of transmitting messages, calls and images to ships off shore and across the Atlantic using Earth signals. When construction began, the tower was named Wardenclyffe. Tesla wants it to transmit wireless energy, believing that based on radio and microwave experiments he could power all of New York by sending millions of volts through the air. However, Morgan refused to provide further funding for Tesla. This caused him to cancel the project in 1906. The Wardenclyffe Tower was later dismantled in 1917.
4. Artificial tides
According to the inventor, the power of science can be used to prevent war. In the New York World newspaper in 1907, it was said that a Tesla invention could trigger bombs from afar at sea. It can create tidal waves so big that it can engulf entire enemy boats. The newspaper also said that these artificial waves could make a nation's entire navy like paper boats in a basin of water. Similar to a nuclear bomb, this terror also pushes the days of peace closer.
5. Electric powered supersonic aircraft
Ever since he was a boy, he had enjoyed the idea of flying in the sky. Combining his knowledge of electricity and mechanics, he began to think more about aviation after Wardenclyffe's failure. In a July 1919 article in Reconstruction magazine, Tesla discussed a project to develop an supersonic plane that can fly 8 miles above the ground. It can also take people from New York to London within 3 hours. The idea included an airplane that could receive wireless energy from an underground power station, eliminating the need to carry fuel. Electrical energy is provided almost indefinitely. Any power plant can work together, providing power to aircraft as well as ships that can also be received via wires or rails.
6. Death ray
Tesla's creative mind also continues to propose new visions in the last years of life. On his 78th birthday, he told the New York Times how he created the most important invention. It was something that could cause an army of millions of soldiers to die instantly. The invention is a military weapon capable of accelerating mercury molecules at a speed 48 times faster than sound speed in a vacuum chamber. At the same time, it fired a bolt with enough power to intercept 10,000 military aircraft at a distance of 250 miles.
Although the media named it the "ray of death", Tesla believes it is "a ray of peace". It was used to block attacks by aircraft and invading armies. It can save lives by acting as an invisible Great Wall. But it's millions of times stronger. Tesla has proposed this invention to many governments, including the United States. But only the Soviet Union was interested and tested in 1939.
