Tesseract Cradle

"“Are you certain those conductors of yours can with stand the energy surge long enough for transference?”"

- Johann Schmidt to Arnim Zola

The Tesseract Conductors were the invention of HYDRA scientist Arnim Zola to harness the energy of the Tesseract.

History
"“I must congratulate you, Arnim. Your designs do not disappoint though they may require some slight reinforcemen”"

- Johann Schmidt to Arnim Zola

Believing that the ancient Teutonic Myths where based in reality and the key to great power SS General and founder of HYDRA Johann Schmidt led an invasion into Tønsberg Norway on the 3rd of March 1942 he aquiored the powerful Tesseract. Taking the artifact back to his base, Schmidt charged HYDRA's chief scientist Arnim Zola with finding a way to harness its power.

One year later, Zola later designed and constructed a set of conductors to transfer the Tesseract's energy and in 1941 Schmidt was ready to test the conductors' capabilities. Before Schmidt and Zola started the experiment, Zola stated he was unsure of the exact nature of the Tesseract and held realistic opinions that the experiment might not work at all. Once Schmidt inserted the Tesseract into the conductor, Zola slowly increased the conductor’s power level which eventfully leveled out at seventy percent. Schmidt however became impatient and increased the power level which caused the Tesseract discharge a great burst of energy. The energy surge traveled through the conductors and flash across the entire room as Schmidt and Zola looked on in amazement.

After the discharged dissipated, the two scientists saw that the experiment had succeeded. As Schmidt remarked that some slight adjustments would be needed to his designs, Zola looked on in amazement at the collected Tesseract energy and stated that the energy could be used to power all of his designs. Zola declared that their discovery would change the war but Schmidt informed him that it would change the world.

With the harnessed power of the Tesseract's energy to power many of its weapons such as the HYDRA Cannon, HYDRA Assault Rifle and as the power source for the Schnellzug EB912.
