Sure, you can beam power, but as you said you wouldn't want to stand
in a power beam. We are talking about line of sight transmission,
right? It cannot go through walls or through anything else. Think of
it as a high-energy laser beam -- now where can you realistically beam
to?
I'm sure that something more than metering stopped Tesla's plan.
Other problems would include accidental fires, fried birds, etc.
Tesla wasn't working on sending power with microwaves or laser beams. He
was doing something closer to broadcasting radio waves in 360 degrees
from his towers. Who knows if it's workable but with someone of Tesla's
genius on the job I'd not have said it couldn't be done. To bad he
didn't have the financing (and kept getting screwed by assholes like
Edison).
