a secret of nikola tesla workings

He had a dream. He saught a vision.

OBSERVATION 1:
He was known to often obsess if others can see his wake visions. He could see all his machines in his inner mind, fully grouded in his body and this reality. Thus he was pesting his friends if they see it, describing it if they understand it, even trying to photograph it.
He was also a dreamer. He never pested his friends with his dreams.
OBSERVATION 2:
In zero energy community it is believed that a machine may work because of extraordinary amount of energy builder has invested in building it. It is great challenge building machine that works if build by common man with common investment of energy.
Thus protocols were invisioned to build first one machine, then second by first team. Then several team around the word were to work on it, and after all this investiture, the machine might be sufficiently here that it might work if built by a commoner the common way.
All tesla inventions worked straight away for everybody after he presented them to patent office.
