[ExI] Nikola Tesla: 5G Network Could Realize His Dream of Wireless Electricity

[John Grigg]

"At the height of his career, the pioneering electrical engineer Nikola
Tesla became obsessed with an idea. He theorized that electricity could be
transmitted wirelessly through the air at long distances—either via a
series of strategically positioned towers, or hopping across a system of
suspended balloons.

Things didn’t go to plan

and Tesla’s ambitions for a wireless global electricity supply were never
realized. But the theory itself wasn’t disproved: it would have simply
required an extraordinary amount of power, much of which would have been
wasted.

Now, a research paper <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-79500-x>
has suggested that the architects of the 5G network may have unwittingly
built what Tesla failed to construct at the turn of the twentieth century:
a “wireless power grid” that could be adapted to charge or power small
devices embedded in cars, homes, workplaces, and factories."
