Mechanical Oscillator and Telegeodynamics Breakthroughs

In 1935, Nikola Tesla celebrated his 79th birthday, reflecting on his groundbreaking contributions to science and technology. Among his claims, he asserted that he had discovered cosmic rays in 1896 and developed a method for producing direct current through induction. Tesla's mechanical oscillator, a device he had been working on, was particularly noteworthy. He recounted an incident in 1898 when a version of this oscillator allegedly caused an earthquake in his laboratory at 46 East Houston Street, New York City. Tesla boldly claimed that this oscillator had the potential to destroy monumental structures, such as the Empire State Building. Furthermore, he introduced the concept of 'telegeodynamics,' a technique that utilized oscillators to transmit vibrations for various applications, including communication and the detection of underground mineral deposits. Tesla's innovative ideas in the realm of mechanical oscillation and vibration transmission showcased his visionary approach to technology, which continues to inspire modern scientific exploration and engineering advancements. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #NikolaTesla #MechanicalOscillator #Telegeodynamics #CosmicRays #DirectCurrent
