The term teleforce refers to Nikola Tesla's macroscopic particle beam projector, first mentioned in the New York Sun, July 10, 1934. The device, which was based upon a large Van de Graaff generator of unique design and a special type of open-ended vacuum tube, comprised a system for the acceleration of very small charged metallic particles to prodigiously high velocity--about 48 times the speed of sound--according to Tesla. The particles were projected out of the tube by means of electro-static repulsion. As can be seen from Tesla's words written in a letter to J.P. Morgan, Jr. on November 29, 1934 it was intended for use in national defense.
"I have made recent discoveries of inestimable value which are referred in the marked passage of the clipping enclosed. . . . . The flying machine has completely demoralized the world, so much that in some cities, as London and Paris, people are in mortal fear from aerial bombing. The new means I have perfected afford absolute protection against this and other forms of attack."
The tube was designed to project a single row of highly charged particles, and according to Tesla there would be no dispersion whatever, even at great distance. Since the cross section of the carriers might be reduced to almost microscopic dimensions, an immense concentration of energy, practically irrespective of distance, could be attained.
