Early 1900’s Violet Ray Quack Medical Device. Emits a violet/purple color electric current to the skin. Cures whatever ailed you... Originally invented by Nikola Tesla in the 1890’s. American Clairvoyant Edgar Casey used these extensively as a part of his “readings”. These were actually sold until 1951, when the FDA seized all the devices left and had them destroyed. Cool piece if medical history. 🏥 SOLD 🏥 | Alaska Picker

The Violet Ray device, originally invented by Nikola Tesla, quickly found use during the 1920's as the Violet Wand. They produced 50,000 volts of brilliant plasma that warmed your skin on contact. Due to both their exotic and warming nature, they were marketed as medical healing devices. But how these work, and what is inside of them, is just as amazing as their claims. #science #technology #physics | Plasma Channel

The Violet Ray Machine emerged in the early 1900s during the rise of high-frequency electrotherapy. Nikola Tesla did not invent the device, but his pioneering work with high-voltage, high-frequency coils directly inspired the technology behind it. The actual developers were early electrotherapy manufacturers and inventors such as: ~ Frederick Finch Strong (a leading figure in high-frequency medical devices) ~ Thomas Burton and other early 20th-century electrotherapy engineers ~ Companies like Re
