Where do we put the meter?

The great genius Nikola Tesla inventor of AC current wanted to create electricity using the earth's magnetic field. Between 1901 and 1905 Tesla was building the Wardenclyffe laboratory in Long Island, Shoreham, financially supported by J.P. Morgan. This construction was huge, 187 feet high and capped by a 68 foot copper dome which housed the magnifying transmitter. The first purpose of this tower was a broadcast system, transmitting signals to any point of the globe, the second hidden and more important purpose was the transmission of power without wires.
Later when Tesla told his second purpose to J.P. Morgan he withdrew his funds saying "If anyone can draw on the power, where do we put the meter?". Morgan believed that he would "have nothing to sell except antennas (and refused) to contribute to that charity." Tesla tried and tried for years until in 1917 the U.S. government blew up the abandoned Wardenclyffe tower because suspected German spies were seen "lurking" around it. With Edison as his willing ally, Morgan even publicly discredited Tesla's name, so that all of the five school textbook publishers of the time removed any reference to him. Any wonder why even today, 100 years later, hardly anyone knows who Tesla is?

Ask any school kid: “who invented radio”? If you get an answer at all it will doubtless be Marconi - an answer with which all the encyclopedias and textbooks agree. Or ask most anyone: “who invented the stuff that makes your toaster, your stereo, the street lights, the factories and offices work?” Without hesitation, Thomas Edison, right? Wrong both times. The correct answer is Nikola Tesla, a person you have probably never heard of. There's more. He discovered x-rays a year before W. K. Roentgen did in Germany, he built a vacuum tube amplifier several years before Lee de Forest did, he was using fluorescent lights in his laboratory 40 years before the industry “invented” them, and he demonstrated the principles used in microwave ovens and radar decades before they became an integral part of our society. Yet we associate his name with none of them.

"We are whirling through endless space with an inconceivable speed, all around us everything is spinning, everything is moving, everywhere is energy. There must be some way of availing ourselves of this energy more directly."
