Could China’s lunar laser tower bring Nikola Tesla’s free energy dream to life?
The News
Chinese scientists have proposed using a lunar laser tower at the moon's south pole to realize Nikola Tesla's concept of wireless electricity transmission. The south pole offers crater rims with near-constant sunlight and permanently shadowed regions thought to contain water ice. This could mark the first practical application of Tesla's free energy dream, which was never achieved on Earth.
