Electric fields in the earth's surface can reach 100V/m you can take two large sheets of metal place them a meter apart vertically and a multimeter between them

Electric fields in the earth's surface can reach 100V/m you can take two large sheets of metal place them a meter apart vertically and a multimeter between them will read around 100 volts . I have never read up much on Tesla , sure he was a brilliant inventor , but some of the claims seem to far fetched , did he really understand the theory well enough or were most of his "experiments" let's toss this stuff together and see what's happens and make grand claims of free electricity , efficient turbines and long distance wireless transmission

> did he really understand the theory well enough or were most of his "experiments" let's toss this stuff together and see what's happens At least, you can show some respect to him and read a bit to understand his inventions. He developed the alternating-current power system that provides electricity for homes and buildings, so without you may not have typed your comment.
