Modern understanding of the science ?

[edit]

Could we have links in this and perhaps Wardencliffe Tower or something explaining how modern physics interprets these experiments ? It seems clear that he mislead investors, but what do we know about the principles he worked on? IceDragon64 (talk) 13:09, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for mentioning this. In general, in spite of much interest, Tesla's wireless power ideas have been debunked. His wireless power transmitters only worked in the near field; there is no reliable indication that even with the huge 300 kilowatt transmitter described here he managed to transmit significant power further than about 1000 feet. Yes, the article should have a section on this. There's some info in History of the Tesla coil#Wardenclyffe tower --ChetvornoTALK 23:02, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
