Tesla's Oscillator also known as the Earthquake Machine, was invented in 1898 by Nikola Tesla, the genius innovator of electrical engineering. This small device (178 mm long) could cause metal objects to vibrate violently, even to the point of cracking a steel bar or crashing down a whole structure, such as the steel frame of a bridge. Tesla is said to have attached the device to the frame of his laboratory in New York and forgotten it there, causing an earthquake that spanned several buildings. As the vibrations grew stronger, Tesla was forced to smash the device with a sledgehammer.
Tesla later boasted that he could build a device that would cause a resonance in the Earth's core strong enough to crack the surface. Nobody demanded him to prove this claim.
Interesting!
