The Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. The 'Enola Gay' hangar that housed the B-29 Superfortress while training for atomic bombing over Hiroshima during World War II. A car outside the hangar. The surrounding area. Mountains in the background.
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. Hangars and buildings at the Wendover Air Force Base. Hills in the background and sound of the wind. A television presenter stands before Golka's hangar and talks about the townspeople of Wendover and Golka's Desert Fire. A woman rides a bicycle with bare feet.
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 plays a piano inside his hangar. An old car lies sideways on the floor nearby. His black dog seated next to him.
Electromagnetic Hazards Group conducts ball lightning tests under Project Tesla, inside a hangar at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. An interviewer gets information from the scientists. A team member talks about modern aircraft, new material and avionics system susceptible to lightning. He states that the composite materials used in new aircraft are stronger and don't conduct electricity like conventional metals. The team's research work involves protective measures and verification of the same. He discusses the effect of lightning on aircraft electronics, and the use of Wendover as the research facility due to its reproduction of long arcs. The aim is to study the effects of atmospheric electricity on new materials and electronics systems in modern aircraft. Robert Golka talks about a new company to study and create ball lightning, and apply it to nuclear fusion research.
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.")

Pictures and tribute articles of Nikola Tesla and Robert Golka, and lightning ball pictures inside the hangar.
