In October 1950, the design Bureau of the Detroit Arsenal (Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant) began designing a new tank, designed to replace the M47 medium tank. Will not be superfluous to note that the latter at the moment has not yet been adopted. It is obvious that the leadership of the U.S. army was aware that the M47 is not promising fighting machine, as largely based on constructive solutions tank M26, created at the end of the Second world war.
The draft of the new machines put the design of a skilled heavy tank Т43. He was inherited by the new one-piece streamlined housing is u-shaped, which is close to oval in cross section. American experts believed that this form of housing equal to the thickness of the armor will provide better ballistic and mine protection in comparison with traditional designs. In addition, the new medium tank, the diameter of the tower overhead in the light maintained the same as on a heavy – 2159 mm. And this despite the fact that he would be armed with 90 mm gun, not 120mm, as Т43. This solution allowed to make the walls of the tower, a significant slope and to abandon a developed stern niches. In General, the tower had the shape close to a hemisphere, which significantly increased its sharedetails.

The inventor of this thing is the father of the alternating current Nikola Tesla, the fruits of which we use every day, including anything in the AC outlet. If you saw at the store were glass balls with digits inside, this relative of the installation in the photo – generator, Tesla high frequency and high voltage.
Despite the intimidating appearance of the discharge (although it is hard to believe), but they are completely harmless to humans. The fact that the currents of such high frequencies are on the surface of the skin without causing any harm to humans. At the exhibition, where Nikola Tesla demonstrated the first transformer high frequency he was connected to the device and from his hands the hall was hitting spectacular branching of lightning. Even now it looks fantastic, and at the end of the 19th century it produced a shock, Tesla was considered almost a witch.
