Many great inventions are fundamentally transforming the society in which they exist. The people in the ruling establishment can gain even more power if they suppress such revolutionary technologies. The engineering genius Nikola Tesla was no exception. Here are his lost inventions, which the elite were not happy about.
Death ray
Nikola Tesla claimed to have invented a "death ray" called teleforce. This device was capable of creating an intense flow of energy that could be directed to get rid of enemy planes, soldiers and anything else that I would like to end. The death ray was never built, because with it, Tesla was sure, it would be too easy for countries to destroy each other. He knew that such a weapon could make even the smallest country great. There were rumors that this invention was repeatedly tried to steal. All Tesla's papers were looked through by thieves, but no one was able to steal the secret of this ray. Perhaps this is for the best, because in the wrong hands such a weapon could destroy the world and wipe out many modern countries from the face of the planet.
Tesla Oscillator
In 1898, Tesla announced that he had built and was using a small oscillator, which by its work makes the entire building tremble. In other words, the device was capable of simulating an earthquake. Realizing the potential danger of such a device, Tesla destroyed the oscillator and ordered his staff to pretend to be innocent when asked about an earthquake. Some theorists are sure that Tesla's research is still being used by the state in Alaska to conduct secret experiments. It is impossible to verify this, nevertheless, Tesla's invention was irretrievably lost and has long been inaccessible to the general public.

Free electricity system
Tesla designed and built the Wardencliff Tower, a gigantic wireless transmission station. He did this in New York in the early twentieth century. It was assumed that this tower would be able to spread the wireless signal around the world. However, Tesla himself had other plans. He was going to transmit messages, calls and even images across the Atlantic to England and to ships at sea, since he had a theory that the planet itself could be used as a transmitter. If the project worked, everyone could be connected to the power grid by simply sticking a metal rod into the ground. Unfortunately, free electricity would not generate income. That is why the world elite was unhappy with such an invention. This would rob the energy industry of profits. What would have happened to the worldif people didn't need coal and oil? Could the leading powers retain their power? As a result, the tower was simply not funded. In 1906, the project was abandoned and never got going. It is surprising even to imagine what the world could be if electrical energy were really available to absolutely everyone and would cost absolutely nothing.
Flying saucer
In 1911, Nikola Tesla said in an interview that he was working on an anti-gravity flying device. He said that his aircraft would not have wings or a propeller, but it would be able to fly through the air completely safely and in any direction. In this case, the device will move at high speed, in any weather and without any changes due to turbulence or air currents. The device could hover completely motionless in the air even in strong winds. This supposedly required positive mechanical energy. Tesla's flying saucer was driven by a free energy system, while aviation and cars of the time were driven by oil and gasoline. Tesla's invention met the same fate as in the previous history - the introduction of something similar into production would be a collapse for transport,energy, fuel companies. That is why its appearance was prevented, as we see, quite successfully.
Improved aircraft
Tesla proposed to create airplanes flying on electric energy. They would be able to carry passengers from New York to London in three hours, moving several tens of kilometers above the ground. He assumed that the devices would draw energy from the atmosphere itself, so that they would never have to stop to refuel. Flying ships would not require control and could both carry passengers and serve as military aircraft. Tesla never received recognition for this ingenious invention during his lifetime. Nevertheless, these days there are drones that carry weapons without control, supersonic aircraft and spaceships that can fly around the planet in the upper atmosphere. There is every reason to believethat the FBI officers simply stole the data on the invention and all the papers in this regard after the death of Tesla. These rumors are confirmed by recent FBI reports.
