This site[0] appears to provide a referenced timeline and breakdown of the feasibility of Tesla&#x27;s particle beam weapon. The author&#x27;s conclusion seems to be that, while the principle may be sound (particle beams do exist), in actual practice the energy required to meet Tesla&#x27;s claims would be infeasible even in the modern era - and certainly would have been impossible in Tesla&#x27;s day.<p>However, The &quot;death ray&quot; proper only appears to have been developed decades after Tunguska (Tesla mentions working on it in 1934, Tunguska was 1908[1]), so it seems to be out of the running as a possible catalyst. The Tesla Society, predictably, has a page on this[2] that links to a number of articles from the time[3] describing Tesla&#x27;s claims about wireless energy transmission and its potential as a weapon.<p>Could Tesla&#x27;s energy experiments have caused the Tunguska Event? That probably depends on the plausibility of his ideas about long-range power transmission.<p>Wireless tranmission of electricity is possible, however, that alone doesn&#x27;t mean the idea scales. Unfortunately, because Tesla, finding an objective, scientifically grounded discussion of Tesla&#x27;s ideas and technology given modern knowledge on the internet was difficult. Quora[4][5] implies that Tesla, for all his genius, simply didn&#x27;t realize his process would have been too inefficient to work at the scales he envisioned. As with the &quot;death ray,&quot; it seems the energy required would have been impossible[6].<p>Nikola Tesla also claimed to have created an earthquake generator - which was debunked on Mythbusters[7][8]. He also claimed to be in contact with aliens[8]. The truth about Nikola Tesla is, while he was an unparalleled genius, he was also sometimes spectacularly wrong.<p>[0]<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.danielcelton.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;01&#x2F;13&#x2F;is-teslas-particle-beam-weapon-practical&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.danielcelton.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;01&#x2F;13&#x2F;is-teslas-particle-be...</a><p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tunguska_event" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tunguska_event</a><p>[2]<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.teslasociety.com&#x2F;tunguska.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.teslasociety.com&#x2F;tunguska.htm</a><p>[3]<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tfcbooks.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;tunguska.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tfcbooks.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;tunguska.htm</a><p>[4]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;Why-hasnt-anyone-attempted-to-rebuild-the-Wardenclyffe-Tower" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;Why-hasnt-anyone-attempted-to-rebuild-...</a><p>[5]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;Does-this-project-to-rebuild-Teslas-Wanderclyffe-Tower-using-2014-technology-seems-plausible" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;Does-this-project-to-rebuild-Teslas-Wa...</a><p>[6]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;skeptics.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;14869&#x2F;is-there-any-data-on-how-efficient-tesla-wireless-power-transmission-was" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;skeptics.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;14869&#x2F;is-there-...</a><p>[7]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tesla&#x27;s_oscillator" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Tesla&#x27;s_oscillator</a><p>[8]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.discovery.com&#x2F;tv-shows&#x2F;mythbusters&#x2F;about-this-show&#x2F;earthquake-machine&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.discovery.com&#x2F;tv-shows&#x2F;mythbusters&#x2F;about-this-sh...</a><p>[9]<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bibliotecapleyades.net&#x2F;tesla&#x2F;esp_tesla_11.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bibliotecapleyades.net&#x2F;tesla&#x2F;esp_tesla_11.htm</a>
