Tesla did do some great work on a number of technological applications including AC current, the induction motor and fluorescent lighting. His work in other areas is overhyped and fictionally exaggerated into urban legend. As an electrical engineer, I do not share the common beliefs that wireless energy transfer is anything but an impractical novelty that only works at small scales and low efficiencies. All his other work in the mystical realms are just unprovable woo-woo. I like the man in general, but I do not worship him as some sort of misunderstood genius ahead of his time. He's not a degenerate kook like Wilhelm Reich, but he's not a god either. As for Reich, I've read these same things and I am still highly skeptical of their validity and truthfulness. His cloudbusting operations all hinge on the existence of orgone energy which has not been proven to exist. Without being able to prove the existence of orgone energy, nothing in his "work" can be properly evaluated and analyzed. Also, the anecdotal evidence of his successes are carefully picked talking points used by those who believe in his work. A few data points that point to success ignore the many data points that ended in failure. You can make anything look good by ignoring its failures and only hyping its successes. (((Hollyweird))) does this all the time with disasters of woke movie remakes but the reality is no one likes them. I think Reich got a few lucky coincidences and used those as PR. n reality he was a degenerate charlatan who played con games.
