Tesla's mechanical power transmission system, he dubbed it the "art of telegeodynamics," was based upon his Reciprocating Engine invention, U.S. Patent No. 514,169, February 6, 1894. The earthquake story also appeared in John O'Neill's biography of Tesla, Prodigal Genius. The account tells of Tesla causing a minor earth trembler in lower Manhattan, where he had established his laboratory, by clamping a small engine of this type to an I-beam and letting it find its own sympathetic resonance.
In the article "Nikola Tesla, Dreamer" (Allan L. Benson, World Today, Feb. 1912), an artist's illustration appears showing the entire earth cracking in half with the caption, "Tesla claims that in a few weeks he could set the earth's crust into such a state of vibration that it would rise and fall hundreds of feet and practically destroy civilization. A continuation of this process would, he says, eventually split the earth in two."

“So powerful are the effects of the telegeodynamic oscillator,” said Tesla in reviewing the subject in the thirties, “that I could now go over to the Empire State Building and reduce it to a tangled mass of wreckage in a very short time. I could accomplish this result with utmost certainty and without any difficulty whatever. I would use a small mechanical vibrating device, an engine so small you could slip it in your pocket. I could attach it to any part of the building, start it in operation, allow it twelve to thirteen minutes to come to full resonance. The building would first respond with gentle tremors, and the vibrations would then become so powerful that the whole structure would go into resonant oscillations of such great amplitude and power that rivets in the steel beams would be loosened and sheared. The outer stone coating would be thrown off and then the skeleton steel structure would collapse in all its parts. It would take about 2.5 horsepower to drive the oscillator to produce this effect”

His experiments in transmitting mechanical vibrations through the earth -called by him the art of telegeodynamics - were roughly described by the scientist as a sort of "controlled earthquake."
"It becomes possible to convey mechanical effects to the greatest terrestrial distances and produce all kinds of unique effects of inestimable value to science, industry and the arts."
The invention could be used with destructive effect in war, he said, by exploding bombs thousands of miles away which had been equipped with apparatus to receive the vibrations.

Is this science fiction or science fact?

Fiction, because we cannot control the tectonic plates - the amount of energy to move these to cause an earthquake would be tremendous and most likely impossible with even today's technology.

The people in the video are idiots.
HAARP does not produce "a billion watts". It's maximum radiated power is 3.6 million watts, less than 4% what the liars are claiming. The ELF and VLF radio waves it produces in the ionosphere are many, many times weaker than that. But even so "a billion watts" is a fly fart compared to the power the Sun pumps into the atmosphere (and Earth) on a daily basis.
Ground penetrating radar does not cause underground structures to vibrate like a piano string. It works the same way "normal" radar works. Different density materials reflect different levels of radio energy back to the surface.

Yes, and no. Those figures are for ERP (effective radiated power) which is not a true indication of the power of the transmitter(s).
Re: HIPAS. No. HIPAS is no longer in operation and when it was it had a 1mW transmitter, less than 1 third that of HAARP.
Re: Sura. Sura uses three 250kW transmitters for a total of .75mW, less than HIPAS.
HAARP is substantially more powerful than HIPAS was or Sura is.
Atmospheric heaters can only affect a small region of the ionosphere more or less directly overhead. Unless they are situated very close to each other they cannot operate "in tandem".
