Tesla technology is a Soviet electricity-based weapon technology inspired by the inventions of Nikola Tesla. A Tesla Tower (curiously named a Tesla coil in Red Alert games), for example, was shaped like a Christmas tree with four Tesla coils and a Van de Graaff generator at the top. Electrical arcs from the Tesla coils would travel up the structure and energize the generator, which launched powerful bolts of electricity for a considerable distance, potentially delivering 3 bolts of electricity with a single charge-up, depending on the number of enemies who were present in the area - obviously, additional charges would not be used on already destroyed enemies. Based on the unit's appearance, it seems as if the unit was acting as a giant staggered capacitor which is released by a Maser-activ
