Very good. It was the infancy of Radio where EM was not really known like
today. In fact Marconi was in the time of Telsa and was a competition with
sending radio waves across the atlantic. Only Marconi used the Hertzian
accepted waves to do this and won out in the long run. I think Telsa was
just too far out for the scientific community in those days. One simlpe
free energy device and you were of the devil back then.... Things have
changed today - we're just crazy and under educated - as the scientific
community marks us.
