This at a time when he was becoming a bit more strange than he ever was.
Tesla did a lot of solid and sound work in the early part of his long
career, including fundamental contributions for the development of the
electricity generation, distribution, and use, systems that are still
used. When he started with these "wireless energy transmission" ideas,
the subject was still obscure, and it was not yet clear what
was right and what was wrong. His contributions for the development of 
radio that come from his attempts of transmission of -signals- were 
fundamental, but many other things proved to be nonsense.
Can happen to anyone.
