His main theory, however, is still very much in question and many dedicated groups are hopeful in obtaining some break that will resurrect it. He has now been credited with these advances and original techniques. As progress was made in the electrical sciences it was soon realized that he was indeed correct, and over his life was responsible for many advances in the development of energy production. Nikola Tesla was the originator of this research and initially was often thought of as a charlatan. Much research, money and effort was dedicated to actual construction of similar large devices capable of producing 200 foot lightning bolts and illuminating light bulbs 25 miles away. It defies most insulation material, transmits energy without wires, produces heat, light and noise yet harmlessly passes through human tissue with virtually no feeling or shocking effects. The high frequency high voltage energy produced possesses qualities unlike conventional electricity.
