There is some speculation that the "Cappy" Hubbard device before 1920, where he ran a motorized rowboat on Puget Sound for immensely long time... was actually a Tesla power transmission setup, with a large induction loop hidden on shore. Hubbard claimed to have discovered a massive energy source, a high frequency radioactive battery. His device could have sat there putting out kilowatts for years if he wanted. At the time, nobody would have looked for VLF power transmission. Pure scam, if true. What would the modern equivalent entail? All you need is an energy- transmission scheme which is hard to detect. (I posted one on my "hoax" page, where an unsuspected narrow beam of electric wind is intercepted by a metal plate to become a power supply at high voltage and low current.)
