Free power? I believe Tesla wanted to transmit power "through
the air" to receivers everywhere... _but_... that power had
to be generated... and paid for... at the source. Not "free.

Westinghouse realized that he couldn't make any money on power
transmitted through the atmosphere....but could make money on
power lines, so didn't support Tesla's "atmosphere" power
transmission.

Incidently, it is my opinion that if the Tesla power
transmission system had become operational... it would have
generated too much electrical (radio frequency) noise for the
weak signals from the original radio transmitters to be detected
by the early receivers which were not very frequency selective.
Hence it seems to me possible that if Tesla's power system had
been developed we might not have radio (or at least it wouldn't
have begun as early in the 20th century as it did)
