That’s not right… He was trying to achieve wireless power through Earth resonance. Which AFAIK is pretty much now completely debunked as never going to work … but it tracks with Tesla’s world view.
It’s kind of crazy how much you can build without a complete understanding… There’s probably stuff we think we understand now that we really don’t and other stuff left to discover.
He also wanted to use the resonance for transmission AFAIK. He didn’t really buy into the radio waves from a scientific standpoint (which to be fair to him … everything was more theoretical back then; if he was in the modern era, he’d have better information to use).

I was thinking his wireless transmission, not harvesting… yeah, that is pretty out there.
No doubt there is plenty to discover, but there is a lot of B.S. that can be discarded, but people cling to it.
