Right, so this isn't historically accurate. He did imagine a so-called "death ray" it was in fact a glorified and supposedly direct-able tesla coil. But he wasn't a bit cautious of the consequences. In fact, both he and his inventions were so unreliable (at this point he had started, dropped, and failed many projects that he had been paid to complete) that he went to the Yugoslavian government, the Sovient Union, the United Kingdoms, and even the United States department of War with his self proclaimed "super weapon" glorifying its destructive capabilities and offering them the world in exchange for more money. He claimed that with this death ray he could strike down ten thousand airplanes from the sky at a time, even disintegrate whole armies. But he was turned down in each and every case, why? Because he refused to write even one detail of the machine down due to his obsessive paranoia. Meaning any and all evidence of this thing being real or feasible was in his mind. Cheers~
