Er, how about he finds a purse of dropped money and uses it to fund his demonstration, then gets the British to buy the plans outright?
 
Best hope for the UK: the Germans waste a bomb on it thinking it's a real threat like a radar tower.

Tesla's "Death Ray" was a pipe dream, I'm afraid, much like his "free electricity through big honking Tesla coils" idea. As much of a fan of Tesla as I am, and as much of a contribution as he made in his early years, by the time he got to the "death ray" stage he was in the "cackling" stage, to steal a line from Pratchett.

But I'm just an electrical engineer, so what would I know? ;)

I notice it's always the electrical engineers and partical physicists who rubbish Tesla's Death Ray. Is it because they know it can't work, OR IS IT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO KEEP A DEATH RAY MONOPOLY FOR THEMSELVES!?!?!

Move along...nothing to see here. :cool:
 
I think death ray inventors were plentiful during the 1920s and 1930s. I also believe that there was a British inventor experimenting about the same time, perhaps Tesla and he work together.

pah, we dont need it... we have our laser-fitted sharks...
 
A death ray would be a must for those Hanebau Nazi flying saucers coming out from the not-so-secret Antarctica base to thrash the world H.G.Wells-style .
