Robert Golka and Project Tesla - his effort to create an energy source from atomic fusion called ball lightning at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. A television presenter enquires about the project and its criticism. Golka talks about the Mayor's objection to the project, 4 years of the project, his commitment to the project. He works on Tesla coils with a tool.
Robert Golka and Project Tesla - his effort to create an energy source from atomic fusion, called ball lightning, at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. A woman dries out clothes on a line outside a trailer. A television presenter stands before Robert Golka's hangar and introduces Golka's work of creating Desert Fire or ball lightning. He talks about the time and money investment made by the engineer and his aim to create ball lightning. He cracks jokes and has to do multiple takes of the same introduction.
Robert Golka and Project Tesla - his effort to create an energy source from atomic fusion, called ball lightning, at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. Golka works on a regulator and tries to start the machine inside a hangar. A transformer nearby. He climbs onto an old car and jumps onto the other side. He searches the hangar for tools and equipment. He checks the dial on a machine and works with another equipment.

During the period from 1973 to 1982 the U.S. Air Force Electromagnetic Hazards Group, led by Robert K. Golka, conducted long arc simulated lightning attachment tests under Project Tesla. This film shows electrical "lightning" discharges being created with Tesla coils inside a hangar at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. (Several discharges display what appear to be "ball lightning.")
