Wireless energy transmission by means of a spherical conductor “single-wire” surface wave transmission line may be possible, a feasibility study using a sufficiently powerful and properly tuned Tesla coil earth-resonance transmitter being called for. (Wikipedia)
I found this page on the web :

The two secrets of free energy employed in Tesla’s wireless technology:
1) By applying an oscillating high voltage signal (dV/dt) to a metal terminal with large surface area, longitudinal waves are emitted that result in no loss of energy because in lacking either/both electric and magnetic components these waves have no Poynting vector. Yet the receiver will respond to this by outputting energy.
2) Longitudinal waves, which are identically scalar waves made of divergence in the vector potential, or voltage fields that vary uniformly over space but oscillate over time, will cause corresponding oscillations in the density of mobile electrons. And likewise, compressive oscillations in the density of mobile electrons will create longitudinal waves. Furthermore, such radial oscillations in ion or electron distribution will, when vibrating in a mode of resonance, tap into the time stream and produce free energy that adds to the amplitude of their oscillation.
I m not a scientist so i m asking Mythbusters if this could be true?
