Just to clarify though, magnetism does indeed 'distort' space-time but that is only because electromagnetic fields have an associated energy density and this energy density creates a gravitational field. This gravitational field though would not have the effect on instruments described as it would be tiny (I would imagine immeasurable). Note: 'distort', to me at least, is bad semantics. It's better to say it represents a curvature of space-time.
In conclusion I actually have no idea what he is getting at here. Maybe you could explain it in more detail please? I am genuinely intrigued.
Read up on the manhatten project and Telsas work. Fascinating stuff and that small gravity field you described can be enhanced.
Can you kindly point us to Tesla's work that deals with gravity? I have read through a lot of his projects and i do not remember seeing anything to do with gravity.
SkyBlue can you explain a bit more as to why the EM energy density has a gravitational field?
