"Science is a perversion of itself, unless it has as its ultimate goal
the betterment of humanity." Nikla Tesla
----------------------
First of all, Tesla didn't give us AC. Nor did he give us "long distance"
power transmission and the basic concepts of the grid- these mainly depended
on the transformer (Gaullard & Gibbs) He did give us the polyphase
induction motor and the idea of polyphase AC systems as opposed to single
phase. This, along with the transformer, made the use of large, remote
sources economically feasible.
As far as I am concerned these were his major contributions. He certainly
made other contributions during his lifetime (as did others) and the SI
unit of magnetic flux density is named after him.
Making him an overunity guru is an insult to his memory.
He turned out many patents some of which didn't work and others which were
unproven - particularly in his later years when he had become mentally
unstable- his financial support dried up when his backers realized this.
Note that his high voltage device in Colorado was simply a large "Tesla
Coil"- quite dramatic but really a relatively low energy RF transformer.
Your concept of science is really quite puerile- is it based on "ignorance
is bliss"?

Some engineer applying known facts of energy and science of course.
Try getting an education.
