5 BRILLIANT TESLA INVENTIONS THAT NEVER GOT BUILT
Wireless Energy Transmission
Tesla also tried to build a tower that would transmit electricÃty through the air and even got American Financier JP, Morgan to finance the building of Wardenclyffe Tower on the North Shore of Long lsland.
Morgan later refused to give Tesla any additional funding once he realized that Tesla's plan would have crippled his other energy-sector holdings
Thought Camera
Tesla was convinced that a definite image formed in thought must, by reflex action, produce a corresponding image on the retina, which might possibly be read by suitable apparatus. He thought of reflecting an image on an artificial retina, taking a photograph and projecting the image on a screen. If this can be done successfully, then the objects imagined by a person would be clearly reflected on the screen as they are formed
Death Ray
Tesla once came up with this most important invention, one that would cause armies of millions to drop dead with just a beam of ray. A military weapon that would accelerate mercury particles at 48 times the speed of sound inside a vacuum chamber and shoot a high-velocity beam through the free air. Such tremendous energy will bring down a fleet of 10,000 enemy airplanes at a distance of 250 miles
Earthquake Machine
Tesla patented a steam-powered mechanical oscillator that would vibrate up and down at high speeds to generate electricity. He later on claimed that one version of his mechanical oscillator caused extreme vibrations in the building and even an earthquake in downtown New York City in 1898.
Electric-powered SuperSonic Airship
Tesla discussed his work on developing a supersonic aircraft that would travel eight miles above the surface of the Earth and generate speeds allowing passengers to travel between New York City and London in three hours. The power would be transmitting from ground eliminating the need for aircrafts to carry fuel. The power supply is virtually unlimited, as any number of power plants can be operated together, supplying energy to airships just as trains running on tracks are now supplied with electrical energy through rails or wires
