Too bad people today hardly heard about Nikola Tesla, the counterpart of Thomas Edison at that time but the real genius between the two of them. In 1898, Tesla was experimenting in his New York laboratory when people on the street noticed a building was shaking.
They told the police and the police, a friend of Tesla, knew who was the culprit so he went up to his apartment and saw Tesla just in time hammering his project. Tesla knew already the earthquake was happening so to stop it, he took a sledgehammer and smashed the device. Tesla was using a 7 inch, 2 lb. instrument , with 5 lb. air pressure and a pneumatic piston device. At one time, he shook several buildings too.
You think we are advanced today? Nikola Tesla will put any scientist today into amateurish shame and realize that just when we think we know it all, that's when we realize we don't really know anything.
