Surely his idea of 'free electricity of all' and of wireless transmission of useful amounts of power were impossible? Even over short distances, a transmitted signal - even of considerable power - becomes so enfeebled it is useless for anything but comms? He may have been able to fry all local rabbits and light lamps, but only close by!
Wireless charging, which AFAIK works by simple magnetic induction, has a very short range.
