>The popular story that Tesla tested his death ray one night in 1908 goes something like this. In 1908, Arctic explorer Robert Peary was making the second attempt to reach the North Pole, and Tesla requested him to look out for unusual activity. On the evening of 30 June, accompanied by his associate George Scherff atop the Wardenclyffe tower, Tesla aimed his death ray towards the Arctic, to a spot west of the Peary expedition. Tesla then scanned the newspapers and sent telegrams to Peary to confirm the effects of his death ray, but heard of nothing unusual in the Arctic.
