I have read books on Tesla, with admiration and some understanding, since I have a 50-year background in aerospace engineering. i am by no means close-minded, but I do have a realistic perspective. i "bother" coming into threads like this because I am dissatisfied with people getting all worked up over the kind and speed of sleigh that Santa Claus rides in.
There is never any new evidence to consider. The whole field of quantum physics, semiconductors, and lasers emerged and elaborated entirely outside of Tesla's thinking. So, it is evidence that he surely didn't think of everything. And just because he was right about rotating electric fields doesn't prove he is right about anything else. It is a logical fallacy to believe so. (He totally discounted quantum physics, which goes to show how close-minded and incorrect he could be.)
Here you claim that the product of Tesla's dreams is not grandiose nonsense. You saying so is at least grandiose nonsense. I've had dreams, too. None of them have come real.
What wireless power system? There is simply no evidence of anything working. The Wardenclyffe tower was never explained by Tesla and he was never able to bring it to fruition. It died in obscurity. Tesla was not able to convince his benefactor to keep pouring money into it. The benefactor was open-minded enough and respectful of Tesla enough to start the project---but Tesla was at a loss for words to justify any further investment. His fault, not the benefactor's.
Yeah, the sun is powered by thermonuclear reactions. The theory explains a whole lot of astronomic physics. It also has electrical properties, best explained by Laszlo Kortvelyessy in his book, "The Electric Universe." How would I have known that book unless I was open-minded? How are you going to understand that book if you don't have an education in physics?
In the end, you don't have any information to offer by way of defense or persuasion. All you have is bad-mouthing and names. That tells the story.
