Tesler. anywhere to get info on his claim to have unified gravity.?

Question

you are probably aware the U.S. supreme court, i think right after he died, acknowledged he had invented the radio(had the patent, prior to it's invention) and he worked for Edison, Westinghouse,..., but between jobs was a manual laborer. maybe he just couldn't play ball on their terms. Since he was so against Einstein's warp theory,..., i know on this sight if you disagree with Einstein you might need to get ready to fight,

Answer 1

Tesla made a lot of unsubstantiated claims, especially in his later years as a recluse in Long Island. I haven't heard this one, but he also claimed to make a ray gun, an earthquake machine, and many other devices. Often he had some theory about such devices. The earthquake machine, for example, is a small device that attempts to hit the resonant frequency of a building, or even of the whole earth, but it wouldn't work because large structures can dissipate the energy faster than his small device can input more. The famous bridge collapse due to resonance frequency was getting the energy that collapsed it from the wind, a much more powerful source than tesla's little machine.

He also had a lot of amazing inventions and ideas that were well ahead of his time. He invented wireless technology. He built the first remote control, which he used for a toy boat. He designed and installed the dynamo at Niagara falls without ever testing it and it worked perfectly. He still holds the record for the largest man-made bolt of lightning while experimenting with broadcasting electricity (with a tesla-coil) (that one could light up a bulb held in the air up to a mile away and light up a bulb stuck in the ground up to 10 miles away, but it also devistated the environment at that area).

My point is that he was a genius, but also completely insane. He was the consumate "mad scientist". It doesn't surprise me that he claimed he unified gravity, but I would approach such a claim with extreme skepticism.
