In the ancient Sanskrit texts, the Vajra is described as a weapon of immense power, a thunderbolt wielded by Indra, king of the Devas. It shattered mountains, split the sky, and released the primordial waters held captive by Vritra, the serpent of drought. Most know it today as a symbol of spiritual strength, often rendered as a double-ended scepter with lotus-like prongs.
But for those looking deeper, the Vajra is more than a metaphor. It may be a technological relic, an encoded diagram of a real energy system whose echoes are being rediscovered in our time.
From the Rigveda (1.32) to the Mahabharata and Puranas, the Vajra is described with remarkable specificity:
Forged by Tvaṣṭṛ, the divine craftsman.
Indestructible, yet radiant.
Capable of shattering mountains and releasing atmospheric pressure.
Sometimes described with “two points,” other times as radiating intense light and thunder.
Later Buddhist depictions stylized the Vajra into a compact, symmetrical form. But these designs may be encoded blueprints, reduced for ritual use after the original device was lost or forbidden.
Fast forward to the present, and inventor Malcolm Bendall has created what he calls the Thunderstorm Generator, a radiant energy machine that draws on principles strikingly similar to those embedded in the Vajra’s geometry and mythos.
One version of the Thunderstorm Generator features:
Two opposing spheres, mounted on either end of a central shaft, are remarkably akin to Vajra depictions.
Slanted pole geometry, creating asymmetrical energetic flow, echoes the Vajra’s ability to direct force.
Exhaust valves set at 108 degrees, the sacred number present throughout Vedic cosmology, temple architecture, and mantra structure.
Like the Vajra, Bendall’s device manipulates pressure, vibration, and resonance. It reportedly generates powerful localized energy fields, capable of imploding fuel or reorganizing atomic behavior, much like how the Vajra “shatters and releases”.
In both the Vajra and the Thunderstorm Generator, we see the same foundational principles at work: dual terminals or poles, reflecting positive and negative, male and female, active and receptive forces; angular geometries such as 108°, 54°, and 27°, all sacred harmonic intervals found in temple design and yantras; and pressure manipulation, whether atmospheric, energetic, or vibrational, used to unlock stored potential within matter. The ancient Vedic Rishis encoded cosmology into functional objects, embedding knowledge of the universe within their tools and symbols. It is possible that Malcolm Bendall has decoded one of these objects and rebuilt it in the modern age.
It is no coincidence that Vajras were often kept in the heart of temples, or placed atop domes. They were resonant tuning tools, capable of focusing or dispersing subtle energy. Temples were often designed as harmonic chambers, with acoustic and geometric properties that mirror the behavior of devices like the Thunderstorm Generator. This aligns with what inventors, starting with Nikola Tesla, claimed zero-point energy devices could do. Whereas normal signal noise might be disruptive to human energy fields, radiant energy devices (those that draw directly from the aether) usually have positive effects on human health.
Perhaps beneath ancient myth lies physical phenomena that have been lost in story after generations of retelling.
