@d3dreaper Well too bad man, those electrons would go right through any jar you can put them in :(
I know of Tesla's genius work, and he indeed would have made made free wireless electricity possible had there not be financial obstacles in his way. But here we're talking about the wireless part, not the free part, and with the current power plants we have today, globally distributed wireless power would be unsustainable, because of costs. It's a real shame, but that's how it is.

3: Tesla is not credited publicly for any of the modern day designs he originally created! (AC electricity is one of many and now you have power pant companies named "SoCal Edison" and such... yea...)
4: This became a fun debate from a rather irritating comment originally and i redact my comment about your intelligence :D

@Maracachucho lmao I would LOVE to have a jar full of electrons!! someone isses me off and *POW*
My point about this is that
1: If the need for a power plant (in the sense that everyone thinks right now) is still necessary then the costs for maintaining it can be dramatically reduced by eliminating wires and telephone poles
2: Tesla had designs that could obtain electricity without chemical or mechanical means (i.e. towers that reached into the ionosphere... there's a reason it's called that)

@d3dreaper Ok fair enough, but you're overlooking all the resources that are needed to keep the plants up and running, both human and material, even with renewable resources like air or sun there is an upkeep for maintaining and/or replacing broken equipment plus the salary of workers. Sure someone makes a profit, but that doesn't mean you're getting ripped off.
And what's that bs about not using electrons? Do you want to keep them in a jar or something?
-
@Maracachucho I'm not trying to say the materials are free... i know that in any possible idea that materials will always have to be purchased... It's the charge on "used electricity" that bothers the piss out of me. Especially seeing that the electrons that provide this energy don't get used up and disappear....
-
@Maracachucho Ok then.. Real world example: What are you doing when you turn on your radio? You're picking up a resonant frequency you say? and you are not being charged to receive this "radio wave" you say? Well guess what wireless electricity is! Holy cow!! It's a resonating frequency that is being picked up, amplified, and used! What do you think started the radio transmission idea?
-
@d3dreaper Can't say the same about you bro, that sentence really made me think about how free energy can be achieved without resorting to mythical creatures.
-
@Maracachucho Just by that statement you show that you don't have the intelligence to have a legitimate argument with....
-
@d3dreaper Yeah because all them power plants run on unicorn farts right?

@d3dreaper It would be nice to have free electricity. However, don't be so naive to believe that it will ever come. Electricity is a medium for transferring energy. You will be hard pressed to find many places that will give out free electricity (at least in large quantities.) What ever energy you use must first be harvested (solar, wind, fossil fuels, geo-thermal, etc...) then transmitted along materials that need to be fabricated, installed and maintained. No such thing as a free lunch.
All this because of Nikola Tesla, thank you Tesla.

This shit is kinda pissing me off... Nikola wanted everyone to have FREE electricity and is the reason he created his wireless electricity designs... HE INVENTED THESE DESIGNS TO BE FREE!!! They are not revolutionary and in fact is the reason we have radio's now... J.P. Morgan had to go and screw everything up didn't he...... "you can't put a meter on wireless electricity and thus you can't make a profit from it"
Tesla is probably turning in his grave right now....
