How Trump Debunked Tesla’s Death Ray ⚡️

Tesla’s Mysterious Invention

After Nikola Tesla’s death in 1943, rumors circulated that he had developed a powerful “death ray” capable of massive destruction. U.S. authorities were concerned and wanted to investigate Tesla’s papers to ensure nothing dangerous had been left behind.

Enter John G. Trump

The U.S. government called upon John G. Trump, an electrical engineer and MIT professor, to examine Tesla’s work. Trump, the uncle of future U.S. President Donald Trump, was known for his expertise in high-voltage radiation and electrical technology.

Debunking the Myth

After reviewing Tesla’s notes, Trump concluded that there was no evidence of a functional death ray or any device capable of the destruction Tesla had hinted at. The papers were mostly related to theoretical work and did not pose any immediate threat.

The Outcome

Trump’s report reassured the U.S. government that Tesla’s alleged death ray was not a danger, putting to rest the speculation surrounding Tesla’s final years.
