yeah. the characterization of tesla was awesome in the movie. it was fun to see him holding that huge bulb in that ground. wireless electricity? we still have not achieved that right?

I dunno man. Let’s look at some of the things he invented:
::Systems for wireless communication (prior art for the invention of radio) and radio frequency oscillators
::Voltage multiplication circuitry
::Methods for providing extremely low level of resistance to the passage of electrical current (predecessor to superconductivity)
I can see how he could work the wireless bits. It’s possible now, but not entirely feasible, I think. Maybe he did invent something that could. Maybe. :I
