There have even been examples of charging cell phones by satelite. Unfortunately they haven't been usable or effecient enough to implement.

His ideas of free electricity coming somehow from the cosmos have always fascinated me....

 
Solar power. Just a basic application of the same principle. Some of Teslas experiments were just that, experiments. Some of which were too dangerous for widespread use and mass implementation. A large portion of his work was locked up for that reason. You have to remember that in his later years he was becoming quite insane. His genius is undeniable but often genius goes awry and becomes dangerous. The fight for ownership of his inventions most certainly drove him over the edge and killed him. The goverment should have set him up and given him a blank check.

Tesla supposedly had a device that he hooked up to a car that was described as being about the size of a shoe box. He was able to power an electric car all day with it and never worried about running out of power. The box supposedly disappeared and was never found. He was looking at wireless ways to power very large things like cars and planes. Not too many years ago one of my neighbors was passing out flyers to attend a meeting organized to invest in the concept of powering houses through wireless power.....I was and still am skeptical,especially since my neighbor still uses the power grid. I believe we held knowledge that was lost, not just from Tesla but from many others. I remember a story about a bush pilot in the 30's who had devised a communication system where he could drive a steak into the ground with a radio set on it and another person located anywhere else within a certain range could do the same thing and they could communicate through the ground somehow,no wires and no wireless air communications, seemed to be like what submariners use only on land....after he died noone could figure out how he had done it.For all I know someone else may have figured it out by now.
