His fame, unfortunately, is long overdue. This is exactly why the internet must be kept free. If Edison could do that to Tesla, who else could be discrediting, discounting, smearing perhaps a genius today? Without the internet we wouldn't have the opportunity to search out the truth for ourselves. Thanks for this great post. The internet is finally bringing Tesla’s genius and inventions to light.

Anyone who seriously thinks that one side isn't corrupt or slaves to Corporate America hasn't done an adequate job of paying attention. To the Republicans: The GW administration will go down in History as one of the worst administrations. They eroded your constitutional rights, expanded the power of the wealthy elite, invaded countries under false pretenses, destroyed diplomatic relations with the rest of the world, and spent money like it was going out of style. To the Democrats: Obama is a dud. He promised much and has turned out to be another corporate lackey. He made deals with big pharma to ensure you could not get your medication cheaper elsewhere, he flip flopped on military tribunals, he refuses to fix health care properly through nationalization or single payer, he populates his inner circle with more Wall Street insiders, he spends money on bailouts and useless stimulus packages.

Is it clever? Yes. Is it practical? Absolutely not! ANY time, ANY TIME, you convey energy from Point A to Point B wirelessly you are doing so at an ASTONISHING inefficiency compared to using a damn wire! Those special "charging mats" you can buy these days are a TREMENDOUS waste of energy, which is unbelievable to me when people are running around screaming about how a "wall wart" is sooooo inefficient and constantly wasting power. WIRELESS ENERGY TRANSMISSION IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF "GREEN"!! PLEASE people, STOP getting excited by it. It is a stunt, a trick, a slight of hand, that should almost NEVER be used in practical application. Take the time to plug your g0dd4mn cell phone in using the charger that came with it, ya lazy bums!!Which doesn't detract from Tesla's brilliance in any way, so don't anybody bother jumping down my throat. This isn't about Tesla, this is about practicality. Tesla is da bomb. I am really sick and tired of people touting wireless energy transfer. Is it clever? Yes. Is it practical? Absolutely not!

Read a biograpy about him, went into detail about how he and Edison were competitors. Edison was threatened by Tesla and used scare tactics to "discredit" him. Tesla was awesome.

Wireless energy is not a radiative energy though, it is powered by magnetic energy transfer. This magnetic transfer, demonstrated by MIT engineers, is no more powerful than the magnetic field of Earth that we live in every day.
