John Jacob Astor IV only funded Tesla's experiments in Colorado in 1899, but he had been beaten to the punch (intercontinental transmission of a radio message) by Marconi. Tesla then obtained funding by J.P. Morgan for his experiments at Wardenclyffe from 1901 to 1905, being discontinued by lack of progress and lack of funds. The site was sold in 1915 and the works were demolished by the new owner as being a nuisance to real estate development. Astor dying on the Titanic in 1912 made no difference to this timeline.
There is no demonstrated evidence that Tesla had anything workable.
This is a very mainstream official narrative about Tesla is completely bunk. JP Morgan is rumored to have said "IF we send power wirelessly, where do you put the meter?" Do you think he was going to tell the newspapers, and journalist the truth about why it was discontinued? Fake news just as prevalent back then as it is today, actually easier back then because there was no internet.
Undoubtedly, Morgan discontinued funding because Tesla was making no progress (duh). And there is the legitimate problem as to how such a technology (if possible) would be economically viable. Free power! But who pays for the generator, the fuel, and the transmitter? (The rumored statement is patently stupid. The proper place for any meter would be at any receiver, just like the electric meters we have today. Morgan would know that.)
The timeline is factual and not bunk. Your only attempt at a disproof is a rumor. You have yet to prove he actually said it, so you have no right to make any inferences from it. Fake news is only fake if it is shown to be fake, and you haven't shown anything. All you have is paranoid suspicion and prejudice.
You're making assumptions on what Morgan would know is very curious. Yes, putting the meter like we have today does make sense, except for Tesla system would be wireless so that anyone could tap into it with his devices. You can't just tap into the electric system we have today without someone knowing, and being able to follow the wire exactly to where you are. So tell me again about what JP Morgan knew.
J. P. Morgan knew that such a system had to be economically viable or there was no point in spending money on it. Do you disagree with this?
I am only assuming that Morgan should have known what already was the case in the normal distribution of electricity, that you meter the received power. Do you have a better idea? Nobody could tap into this without someone knowing (loss of delivered power to registered users), but tracking down the culprit would be tricky. Today, people sometimes pirate electricity from 3-phase power lines by laying out induction antennas on the ground and it is not easy to find them.
I notice you have given up on his rumored remark. It is easier to understand that Tesla was making no progress and Morgan was disinclined to spend good money after bad.
No progress? Where do you get that from? What makes you think he was making "No Progress" because JP morgan said so. That's like taking the word of Bill Gates.
Because he made no progress. What progress was there? He was trying to communicate radio messages from one continent to another, and was beaten to the punch by Marconi. Even after Marconi, he was still unable to do it. J.P. Morgan didn't need to say anything. He just stopped writing checks.
Or, you tell me what progress. From 1905 to 1907, Tesla had suspended work, and then his debts caught up with him and he had to sell the property. Who is lying, exactly? You are pretty free to cover up faults and shortcomings with "everybody else is lying."
Wow, you don't know what you're talking about. Please don't lump Tesla people into the same group as flat earthers. That's ridiculous. His analysis is very mainstream, fake news was around back then just as much as it's around today. I'm surprised you don't know that.
No, it’s not. Tesla’s dream of free energy was just that, a dream. Deathraydesigner already noted that Tesla was wrong about the conductivity of the atmosphere.
Tesla was a genius, but geniuses are not infallible. Don’t let man-worship cloud your judgment. If you insist that free energy is a thing, then the burden is on you to prove that it exists and demonstrate how it works. Shrieking about govt coverups that you can’t prove exist is no different than flat earthers shrieking about faked moon landings that they can’t prove.
Edit: downvotes but no counters. That’s also something you have in common with flat earthers. Have fun being disappointed.
There is no such thing as free energy. Tesla never used that term. Energy in the universe is inexhaustible. The amount of energy being imparted to the earth is practically limitless for current human needs. Tesla discovered a different type of electricity based on impulses, and derived from longitudinal waves. It was no dream, it was 100% based on sound principles and it's been very cleverly hidden by the parasites who would lose their death grip on humanity if it was rediscovered.
