    I sometimes wonder if tesla was successful in his expiements but realized how it could be quickly weaponized or has some other moral implications so that he destroyed all his research.

      He’s ideas were interesting.

      But practically, he didn’t have a method to transport power without wires.

      Yes, running wires is difficult. But trying to transmit power is staggeringly inefficient.
