He insists that the amount of energy that can be transmitted is "billions of times greater" than conventional radio would allow. "I gave the world a wireless system of potentialities far beyond anything before conceived... transmission absolutely unlimited as to terrestrial distance and amount of energy." Can we transmit electric power without wires? Can the unsightly and...
