The "Tesla-Howitzer"
Nikola Tesla has left a big foot-print in human history. One thing for sure, the use of the rotating magnetic field (AC). But also in the media: he’s the “father of radio”; the iconic “mad scientist” in Hollywood movies; and the founder of techology in the field of fantasy and science fiction. One example is the so-called “Tesla-Howitzer”. Long time it was said that the Sowjet-Union had one in Semipalatinsk, a huge particle beam weapon to shoot down incoming targets. Well, it seems to be another location, Sary Shagan. And it is another technology; no particle beam involved, but it’s a laser-based tracking system to guide anti-ballistic missiles. But it would have pleased Tesla, for sure.
