Nikola Tesla Part 2

So, moving on, Tesla was always conducting crazy experiments that resulted in catastrophe. One time he was studying magnetic resonance. He discovered the resonant frequency of the Earth and built a machine to harness it. It caused an earthquake so dangerous that it almost destroyed his 5th Avenue New York building in which he was conducting experiments on. When the cops were coming, Tesla had to smash his machine to prevent it from destroying his street. He later bragged that he could split the Earth in two, which is untrue, but back then nobody dared question him. Some time later, Tesla began the construction of the Wardenclyffe Tesla Tower, which is a curiously shaped building which would house the biggest Tesla coil in the world. It was supposed to wirelessly transmit power, and it was taken into consideration as the cause of the 1908 Tunguska explosion, when an unidentified source/object equal to ten megatons of blast rocketed the wastelands above Central Russia. It obliterated and deforested pretty much everything in sight for at least several hundred miles. And, to think, this guy could potentially detonated something 1000 times more powerful than Hiroshima before the submachine gun was even thought of.
Some time even later, Tesla made the first hydroelectric power plant by harnessing the rushing waters of Niagara Falls. Made a bath that cleans you with nothing but electricity, and set a world record for creating a 130 foot long bolt of lightning. But all stuff aside, his most epic invention was the Atomic Death Ray. Sometime in the 1920s he claimed that he was working on a tower that could spew a bunch of ionized particles in a beam that could disintegrate aircraft from 200 miles away. It could also wipe out a bunch of people in the blink of an eye. Luckily, Tesla died in 1940 before the thing was built, and there is no hard evidence that he was planning on making one, as most of his contraptions existed only in his awesome brain. Just to be safe, the FBI confiscated all of his stuff after he died and locked it away.
You ever heard of Thomas Edison? Well, he was actually competing against this guy. Thomas used direct currents, leading to the invention of the light bulb, and Tesla used alternate currents, leading to the main power source for pretty much every electronic in your home (even lightbulbs now). Unfortunetly, the fight between Tesla and Edison ended with both getting kicked out of the Nobel Prize committee.
To sum it up, Tesla was the thin line between a great scientific mind and mentally insane. At the time of his death, he had 700 patents, making breakthroughs in physics, robotics, steam turbine engineering, electricity, and magnetism. He once melted his assistants hand by spamming it with X-rays. And, to be honest, Tesla is just about the only dude who could single handedly blow up all of our minds with incredible scientific discoveries. The end, and you're welcome.
