That is actually funny... without Tesla we would not have the ignition coil that makes our cars run, nor the AC electricity that powers our lives. Seems the world IS a much better place because of him
We can do without the death ray though

Yep, this energy that can be drawn from the atmosphere is now labeled 'new' science. I really cant wait to do a write up on the his envisaged World Power Grid.

I was always confused about that and probably shouldn't have spoken, so zero-point energy doesn't necessarily have to be 'free energy'?
In physics, the zero-point energy is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may have and is the energy of the ground state. The quantum mechanical system that encapsulates this energy is the zero-point field. The concept was first proposed by Albert Einstein and Otto Stern in 1913. The term "zero-point energy" is a calque of the German Nullpunktenergie. All quantum mechanical systems have a zero-point energy. The term arises commonly in reference to the ground state of the quantum harmonic oscillator and its null oscillations.
Zero-point energy is sometimes used as a synonym for the vacuum energy, an amount of energy associated with the vacuum of empty space. In cosmology, the vacuum energy is one possible explanation for the cosmological constant.[1] The variation in zero-point energy as the boundaries of a region of vacuum move leads to the Casimir effect, which is observable in nanoscale devices.

A team of Florida researchers is testing a novel idea that radio waves dancing in particles created by cosmic rays can solve a long-standing mystery about what sparks lightning.
"It takes something like 30,000 volts per centimeter (of static electricity) to get a spark off your finger to a doorknob. That type of spark doesn't exist in thunderstorm electric fields, or we haven't been measuring in the right place," Martin Uman, director of University of Florida's Lighting Research Laboratory, told Discovery News.

The wireless power transmission thing is obviously being held back until they can somehow encrypt it and charge for access.
Look, you people that think it is all supposed to be free are just fooling yourself with idealistic thinking about everything being perfect.
Also if everyone had free energy tomorrow what would happen? Total economic collapse. Sure eventually we would recover but all those jobs in the energy fields would vanish. All those people would be out of work MILLIONS Dam workers power line workers fuel transport gas stations etc etc Office workers that do the paper work, manufactures of transformers etc etc.
