What did Tesla dream of doing as a child?

This is not a joke. This is for a Physics project and its important for my semester grade.

One of Tesla’s great dreams - which he nearly made a reality - was to develop a system of totally wireless power distribution. His revolutionary idea was to use a quality of electromagnetic fields known as "resonant inductive coupling." An analogy: Imagine, if you will, a tuning fork vibrating. Put another identical tuning fork next to it, very close, and soon both will be making a sound.
