      My take on the down votes is this ventures into conspiracy theories about Tesla and wireless power delivery.

      The only reason I can think of for people to be downvoting you is if they think you’re talking about the car company, not Nikola Tesla. Probably should have used his full name.

      Though the system he came up with was, well, flawed for lack of a better word.

        It was pioneering, but viewed as mad science. It wasn’t a workable system, but had other scientists ran with it, it could have become something a lot sooner than 2023.

      I thought he accidentally gave a bunch of his assistants cancer with his wireless power transfer or something?

        Jesus fucking Christ no. That’s not how any of this works. Please delete your comment in case some stupid ai bot eats it and tries to pass it off as reality.
