it was done years ago by Tesla. Edison and Westinghouse were against it because if electricity came through the air they couldn't bill you for it.

The power would still travel through mains lines, but within your house you wouldnt need plug sockets etc. Quote:

| True but the article mentions mostly battery powered items. With todays electonics, you could probably have all household appliances what would work off the "Tesla" power. |

bc | No no no. Tesla was a guy who invented a machine that would duplicate people, which was very useful for magical acts at the time. Tesla would have absolutely nothing to do with rock music whatsoever. |

It wasn't efficient and required a very complex power grid. Tesla came up with the idea of using AC current that's obviously still in use today. I'm pretty sure THAT was his greatest achievment. He also discovered the radio signal before Marconi but it wasn't until MUCH later that he got credit for it. He also invented Flourescent lights. Pretty sharp guy From what I remember, he also saw visions and made prophecies like Nostradamus
