Hi,
Judging your story you will probably know this already, but here you go:

To anyone who may even consider for a SECOND that the same Arthur Matthews who wrote this book also was an evangelical christian...

Jeepers. Creepers.
Tesla stated that his telegeodynamic oscillator, so small it could be slipped into a pocket, could be attached to any part of the Empire State Building and in 12 to 13 minutes would bring the building to full resonance, and destroy it.

Tesla had no "telegeodynamic oscillator". What he had was a steam powered reciprocating engine.
Here's the patent for it. He made a working model about 7 inches long.
www.google.com...
Tesla made a lot of claims about his inventions.

Tesla's mechanical power transmission system, he dubbed it the "art of telegeodynamics," was based upon his Reciprocating Engine invention, U.S. Patent No. 514,169, February 6, 1894. The earthquake story also appeared in John O'Neill's biography of Tesla, Prodigal Genius. The account tells of Tesla causing a minor earth trembler in lower Manhattan, where he had established his laboratory, by clamping a small engine of this type to an I-beam and letting it find its own sympathetic resonance.
In the article "Nikola Tesla, Dreamer" (Allan L. Benson, World Today, Feb. 1912), an artist's illustration appears showing the entire earth cracking in half with the caption, "Tesla claims that in a few weeks he could set the earth's crust into such a state of vibration that it would rise and fall hundreds of feet and practically destroy civilization. A continuation of this process would, he says, eventually split the earth in two."

If you look at his actual inventions it's all pretty simple. Ingenious, but simple. The mark of a very good engineer.

I sometimes don't get when you drop a quick, concise response to a topic without stating your stance on the particular matter at hand, which is why I asked.
The problem was that Tesla was an engineer. A very good engineer, but his science was another story. He didn't really seem to understand electromagnetic radiation.
