Zombie Power

         In pop culture Nikola Tesla is known for creating a generator that creates energy from the Earth’s electromagnetic field. He patented his invention but never told anyone how to make one of their own. He took his invention with him to his grave because he was terrified what horrible applications his new technology could be used for. In his later life Tesla might have read Frankenstein and subsequently mulled over the possibilities and roadblocks of bringing back the dead. One problem is that of energy and what the undead would need to produce motion scientifically. It then occurred to him, what if one was to place and connect a miniature and lightweight electromagnetic generator in a fresh dead body. The freshly reanimated corpse could shamble around for as long as its decaying legs would allow it. It is a shame that Tesla considered this extreme when taking the ax to his fledgling technology as miniature Tesla devices could have been used to power modern devices such as cell phones, harmless androids, cars, or even life saving devices such as pace makers. I sorry I am just assuming way too much about the great Serbian inventor. This hypothesis is solely based on the assumption that Nikola was a sane and good hearted person, but evidence refutes the former. What if his killing off of his life’s work was due to shame and guilt? What if Tesla read Frankenstein and gained inspiration and his creation is still roaming the dense forests of Colorado to this day, constantly being mistaken for as Bigfoot?

  1. Reportedly the US military seized all of Teslas documents after his death in that hotel.
