Earlier Airconditioning

Is that even possible because it seems like something that would have been done by now if it could have been done with 1890s tech. Also still doesn't help because in 1880 he was 24 years old would you trust what a 24 year old says that he could do and trust him with the hundreds of thousands of dollars necessary to get it to work, and it would still take years and years to build any of the things he invisioned let alone building it for Africa the last place in the list for development. Honestly he is overrated. He hasn't even partnered with westinghouse or worked for edison so he is still mostly unknown. Also still doesn't address the need for an insane amount of generating capacity for AC to even work in the first place. Wireless power wouldn't have help with this at all because there still needs to be power to broadcast and its not like this would be lossless transmission so it would require even more power on top of the required amount just for there to be enough to make it there in the first place.

The scientific consensus at present is that Tesla's claim was full of ****, because there's no evidence that anything he suggested (like using air as a conductor) would work.

even if his plans for wireless electricity were completely ridiculous, i still think he's probably your best bet for air conditioning becoming possible at least by the turn of the 20th century. maybe that fire that destroyed alot of his inventions doesn't take place and this butterflies in a reliable system to allow air conditioning, even if its expensive and doesn't operate on an independent power grid
