as well as Tesla was recognized during his lifetime. Plenty of folks thought da vinci was crazy too.
helicopter prototype was off (just needed different shape propeller, additional stabilizing propeller and proper weight distribution), but it was on a correct development path. parachute design was correct as was demonstrated in 2000.

what if tesla's highly speculated work is even 50% close?
we had thousands of electric cars manufactured and sold in USA 100 years ago (stop and think about it for a second: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/80/34/c5/8034c522dd78fb4b3bfdb4eeb6ec1f5a.gif https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/80/34/c5/8034...). wireless transmission of electricity/energy could put us on a completely different path as a humanity (as well as completely change political and business landscape worldwide).

- hacker11235 9y agoCould you expand more on the prospects of wireless transmission of electricity. I've seen some stuff about this but have had a hard time finding sources talking about it, I'm quite intrigued.

- hacker11235 9y agoRight, inductive charging. From what I've read it doesn't seem like this was the method Tesla was researching for long range transmission was it?
- Rhinobird 9y agoTesla was trying to make use of the conductivity present in the ground and ionosphere to transmit power. Not inductive, but more like capacitively coupled.
