Fun fact! The first man to invent the radio wasn’t Fessenden or Marconi, but a man named Nathan Stubblefield. The wireless device, invented in 1882 in Murray, Kentucky, sent out wavelengths through the ground, which would be picked up by a receiver at a maximum of a mile away.

[@leonmaliniak]

I just love the way you are telling the story of the failure of the financial community to understand the significance of TESLA'S futuristic inventions. Even today, people brainwashed with the necessity of the need for wires to transmit electricity have still failed to figure out TESLA'S proven technology of transmitting electricity without wires...even when you point out that cell phones and radios already do that allbeit at low levels of power but which can be bumped up to domestic and industrial power. I can't screw in a lightbulb and I do not comprehend conventional electrical science at all BUT...I do comprehend the GESHTALT truth about TESLA'S explanation about the unlimited source of free radiant energy all around us, the electrical potential between the earth and the IONOSPHERE and the abilty to harnass and transmit all of this without wires. Keep up the good work...prrhaps the world will finally open up its eyes to the valudity of TESLA'S claims and we will progress i to the next stage of human development.
