I read a book on Tesla a few years back and came across an interesting story. Back in 1908 Tesla had developed a powerful laser light that he called a death ray. He was sure that it could be transmitted over great distances and had persuaded Admiral Peary to report back any unusual aerial phenomena during his North Pole expedition. It so happened that Tesla's experiment coincided with the Tunguska Event and Tesla was so convinced that his death ray was the culprit that he immediately dismantled the project. http://voices.yahoo.com/was-nikola-tesla-responsible-tunguska-explosion-2300...

I just finished listening to a podcast of last Friday's edition of Science Friday. The subject was Nikola Tesla. In case you heard the piece and wondered about the Tesla cartoon they referred to, here it is:

Caution, there are a few spots where the language is PG-13.
And here is the podcast.
