I still believe he figured out how to tap a resonance of the Earths magnetic field to generate electricity.
“I still believe he figured out how to tap a resonance of the Earths magnetic field to generate electricity.”
As I recall, he used resonance while trying to use the earth as a tuned capacitor to store electricity. That was the occasion when his huge coil burned out the power station of Colorado Springs.
Well, technically that wouldn’t be generating anything, just collecting it from a natural source, but maybe he accomplished it. It’s certainly something he seems to have been attempting with his “lightning towers”.
