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.

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).
