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 turns on a machine. Danger sign on a motor. Extensions in the hangar ceiling. A lit halogen lamp.
Robert Golka and Project Tesla - his effort to create an energy source called ball lightning, at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. Golka works near Tesla coils inside a hangar. He operates and makes adjustments on several machines. Golka fails to create ball lightning despite having Tesla's notes from the Colorado Springs experiments. Lightning arcs from the ceiling to the floor.
Electromagnetic Hazards Group conducts ball lightning tests under Project Tesla, inside a hanger at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. A Tesla Coil is used to create extremely high voltage arcs. The lightning arcs from ceiling to floor of the hangar. The voltage arcs strike and pass through a model advanced development composite aircraft.
