Yes, a beam antenna Is more efficient compared to a dipole, but, to 
use a technical term,  the efficiency still sucks. He found it 
subject to the same laws of nature as anyone else and abandoned it, 
spending the next 50 years in more productive areas.

From Wikipedia:

"Hidetsugu Yagi attempted 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer>wireless 
energy transfer in February of 1926 with this antenna. Yagi and Uda 
published their first report on the wave projector directional 
antenna. Yagi managed to demonstrate a proof of concept, but the 
engineering problems proved to be more onerous than conventional systems."




>Why do some people get so emotional about this topic?

Because it is a favorite topic with which pseudo-science advocates, 
Tesla worshippers, Einstein-overturning wannabes, and their bloated 
ego ilk try to delude newbies as well as themselves into thinking 
they've discovered a "new science". You are probably very familiar 
with the type, as they are constantly popping up on the list.
