Tesla was not trying to provide free electricity; he
was trying to *distribute* electricity without the cost
of powerlines, transformers, poles, tunnels etc.
The failing of the scheme is quite simple: where do you
place the electric meter?

I encourage everyone to wiki Tesla. This is the man who, as a U.S. citizen,
gave us the 3-phase alternating current power system used today worldwide. It
is the backbone of any industrial economy. If that was his only accomplishment
(it wasn't), it is enough for him to be honored here in a museum. Teslas
accomplishments are generally ignored by museums (Smithsonian), textbooks, and
media articles.
A Tesla museum is the least we can do.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
