The >legend of Archimedes' death ray< must be solved.
It may be the key to human survival.
Screw Archimedes. If you're gonna try to hunt up a death ray from the past, then Tesla's your man!Agreed! Also, someone still has his notes.
What is the range of Tesla's death ray? Wait... what is Tesla's death ray?
Edit:
After a google run, I found >this pic< titled "Tesladeathraytower". However, to me it looks like Tesla was trying to open a portal between worlds rather than craft a death ray.

Well he was trying to call the elder gods. Hey, he didn't say who the Death Ray was going to kill.

I always heard it was industrialists or the government. (Or both.) I never heard any foreign involvement.
I had always heard that since he was initially a German national the German government got to his hotel room, room 33 incidentally, before anyone else and absconded with his copious notes. The US government I have heard, you know how those rumors fly with the story is good, denies there ever being any notes.
I think if there was ever a real "deathray" our Government would have long ago had it equipped to every soldier and many a police man.

Tesla was Serbian. Unless you were referencing Einstein?

Yes he was, does not change the "story" I had heard.

When Tesla, who was Croatian, tried to broadcast electric lighting in the city of Denver, by the time he ended the experiment, sparks over a foot long were shooting from people's fingers as they went to open doors.

So he generated electrostatic energy...sweet.
This guy so needs an alternate history film where the USA tests Tesla's Peace Ray on Nazi Germany by bouncing it off the stratosphere from the USA - accidentally killing every one in 1939 Europe and Britain.
There is a "theory" that Tesla's early testing of broadcast power resulted in the Tunguska blast ...
Didn't they already do Archimedes' death ray?
There is a "theory" that Tesla's early testing of broadcast power resulted in the Tunguska blast ...
Except that Tunguska took place several years before Tesla's experiments and the accepted date of it's "discovery" was actually just when one of the teams sent out to investigate it actually had enough to give to the news wires...
Not that you couldn't use the Tesla theory for a CoC game. ;)
When Tesla, who was Croatian...
Born in Croatia, but ethnically Serbian.

^_^ I never claimed that the theory was accurate ... but it sure makes for wonderful "alternative history" fodder.
The theory works, it just needs a tweak. The Tesla experiment caused a temporal distortion bubble that went straight up, bounced off the van Allen belt, slammed back into the planet, and blew up in Tunguska, some years before.
Neat, implausible and completely made up, but that's the stuff bad science fiction stories are made of.
You could use Tesla time distortion bubbles to explain all kinds of weird stuff.
This could provide lead ins for Daredevil, Aftermath, Morrow Project, Top Secret, D 20 Moderns, or any other setting as well as call of cathy lou.
Oh shucks. I thought this was about Kazakhstani president Nazarbayev calling for scientists to get him an elixir of life.
