Teleforce
The Teleforce was a particle beam projector invented by scientist Nikola Tesla, who concocted the device after studying Robert J. Van de Graaf's electrostatic generator. Although reports indicated that no device was ever built, Tesla refuted the claims and stated he built, demonstrated, and used one.[1]
History
On 30 June 1908, Nikolai Tesla had already constructed the Teleforce weapon in the United States to strike at a Templar facility in Tunguska, Russia. Simultaneously, the Russian Brotherhood sent three of their Assassins, including Nikolai Orelov, to retrieve the Staff of Eden Imperial Sceptre from the same Templar facility.[2][3] However, Tesla activated the Teleforce before the Assassins could take the Sceptre from the facility. Before he could leave, a barrage of messages from the past and the future afflicted Orelov from the Staff. When the light beam hit the facility, all was nearly destroyed. Miraculously, Orelov somehow survived along with a shard from the sceptre.[4][3]
