Okay, assuming you are right... how then, did he explain transporting the electricity? You can't just broadcast megawatts... it will fry everything in sight. there was a transport system. Do you recall that part? He called them "standing waves."
Since he was never able to demonstrate power transmission, there was nothing to explain. Tesla was the original arm-waver. And "standing waves" do not propagate. Toward the end of his life, Tesla was running out of practical ideas, and, thus, running out of sponsorship. The technical future was in the quantum realm (solid-state circuits, lasers), but he dismissed it all as nonsense. Big mistake, and something we need to factor into our assessment of his understanding of nature.
Tesla's funding was stopped because he wanted the energy to be free and they couldn't figure out a way to measure the usage to bill it. So the money went to what we have today. One of the comments asked me for sources to research.. The fact is, the best sources of info have come from esoteric sources. I have actually seen one free energy device working. Tried to raise funding for it. At the end of the day the scientists were all bankrupted or killed.
Since, I have discovered that anyone associated with disclosure or research into the area of free energy always wind up in the same spot. Somebody doesn't want to this out in the open. Scalar waves shroud the planet. It is akin to a magnetic super highway. For perspective, you don't see your thought energies when they leave your body... yet, we have proven they are there because we can measure them. Free energy is the future.
I think Trump knows this. After we use current tech to lift us out of our economic stresses, I feel sure this tech will be released and massively propagated. Try not to be such a naysayer and start asking the right questions... like, why haven't we invested billions to prove the technology is real or not? Everyone that does try is stopped... all the warning flags you need to know it is real.
J.P. Morgan had agreed to finance Tesla to build a wireless communication device that would match or supersede what Marconi was doing. A contract was signed giving Morgan a 51% share in the resulting company and patents. Subsequently, Tesla decided to change his program, essentially breaching the contract. Morgan refused to provide more funds for Tesla's new direction. And there was nothing to it. Since Morgan had a 51% stake in whatever resulted, it makes no sense to claim, after the fact, that he was opposed to profiting from such a system.
What "scalar waves"? They are largely a fiction. Brain waves are measured by electrodes attached to the scalp.
There is no technology, and the sure sign of it is that there is no scientific theory by which any technology could be devised, or by which its performance could be measured. Everybody likes to think they are a "theorist," but I happen to be one by profession. "Theories" without physical principles, equations to describe relationships in quantiative form, or means of detecting the relevant phenomena are not theories but fancies. They are useless for the development of technology.
You haven't been up close to these things. At Boeing, I'd been tasked with looking into Andrea Rossi's "energy catalyzer" and found it dubious. No unequivocal evidence that it works, let alone as advertised (and no theory). I'd looked into cold fusion, and concluded that something is there all right, but it is elusive and it may take a long time to bring it to ground. I"m familiar with the vacuum energy and its manifestation as the Casimir Force (are you?). I was a regular reader of the Galilean Electrodynamics journal of physical theory, which is well beyond your imagination of where this might lead. So, you are a poor one to lecture me about being open-minded.
We already have a technology that allows the provision of prodigious energy at economic rates, and that is nuclear power. It has been deliberately hampered by bureaucratic delay and obstruction. If we invest in that, our need for power will be more than adequately satisfied. Why do you pine for a magical fantasy, when we have a tangible reality ready to expand and further develop?
Regarding J.P. Morgan, your recollection is correct. However, the key factor you mentioned is the 51% that gave him control. Tesla was a visionary and died broke... he didn't care about money but Morgan did. Morgan went the direction that made him the most money. It wasn't the tech.
Re: Free energy... well, I am surely humbled by your resume. No contest there. Even so, I am guessing we would agree that at every stage of major scientific advancements there is a reckoning in the community by obsoleting prior norms that dictated the discipline. In other words, we agree there is much we don't yet understand, know and can prove. But I do think, we are asking the right questions finally.
We further agree that atomic energy has been a standing asset we un-leveraged. Why? Have you heard about thermal energy? Another great source. Quantum energy (in all its expressions) appears to be inexhaustible. Why have we squandered our resources on NGOs and wasteful, garbage research instead of the quantum energy possibilities?
