Abstract
Following an entropy approach, the electric current can be postulated as a flow of electromagnetic waves that has an electric potential. Such postulate is verified in this article by results of experimental measurement then it is applied to review Tesla’s discovery of wireless power transmission. Tesla discovered the wireless transmission of electric power during his operation in an entirely new domain of physics based on abrupt discharging of electrostatic charges. He realized that electrons were not responsible for such discovered phenomena. So, he called the new energy as “Radiant Electricity”. He didn’t identify that the true nature of electric current was a flow of electromagnetic waves that can be normally radiated through air. So, he proposed the term “Aether gas” to describe the discovered transfer of the electric charges by radiation from his designed tower, though air, to specified receivers. Following an entropy approach, the nature of the discovered radiated energy can be identified as electromagnetic waves that have an electric potential. So, the followed approach succeeds in eliminating the confusing observations of Tesla’s measurements in his famous experiment and the confusions found in modern literature that deals with such energy as an “Ambiguous Radiant Energy”.
Highlights
Nikola Tesla is seen by mostly scientists as the “Father of Wireless Power Transmission” or the first person to conceive the idea of wireless power transmission and successfully demonstrated the transmission of electricity without wires as early as 1891 [1]
The electric current can be postulated as a flow of electromagnetic waves that has an electric potential
Main concepts and experimental results that verify the truth of such postulate will be reviewed. It will be reviewed the significance of Tesla’s interpretation of his discovery of the wirelessly transferred energy as “Radiant Energy” or Aether gas in his new domain of physics according to the followed entropy approach

Main concepts and experimental results that verify the truth of such postulate will be reviewed It will be reviewed the significance of Tesla’s interpretation of his discovery of the wirelessly transferred energy as “Radiant Energy” or Aether gas in his new domain of physics according to the followed entropy approach. It will be shown how the introduced entropy and the postulated definition of electric. Current as a flow of ionized electromagnetic waves give the convenient answers for most of the published Tesla’s inquiries in his experiments
