Electrical Experimenter (07:06) October 1919

Hugo Gernsback, editor

1919
"The proposed League of Nations is not a remedy but, on the contrary, may bring about results just the opposite. It is particularly regrettable that a punitive policy was adopted in framing the terms of peace, because a few years hence it will be possible for nations to fight without armies, ships or guns, by weapons far more terrible, to the destructive action and range of which there is virtually no limit. Any city, at a distance, whatsoever, from the enemy can be destroyed by him and no power on earth can stop him from doing so."
This issue of Electrical Experimenter is from October 1919. It includes the final installment (on “teleautomatics”) of the six-part series written by Nikola Tesla exclusively for the magazine, as well as another article in which he discusses whether the explosion and crash of a blimp in Chicago might have been caused by radio waves. Another article covers a 1919 prototype hybrid electric-gasoline auto complete with regenerative braking to recharge the battery while driving.
