Great to hear from another professional (other than the one in our team).
That is being worked on. A few years ago we set up Ethergy Co. Ltd. first and foremost to get some additional funds for my Tesla research. Shortly thereafter Koen van Vlaenderen joined us, and he has been working on Maxwell's theory for many years. You can download his latest paper here. It does not view electricity as a gaseous medium, (yet) but it corrects an error in these theories and expands on the consequences of this correction.
I have done a number of experiments that may not be so easy to explain with mainstream theories, I may post some of that later. But really, there are many hard-to-explain phenomena. Look for example into the details of lightning. Where does all that charge come from? How can a thunder cloud recover to its pre-strike condition within only 5 seconds? How can a discharge of only a few MV be hundreds of kilometres long? (the longest recorded strike is well over 400 Km) How can the plasma channel created by the stepped leader be 10 m in diameter (think of the pinch effect...). What causes the steps of a stepped leader?
Lightning is so common that one would assume we know all about it. But dive into the details and see how little we really know.
As I have shown in these article, it is thinking about lightning that resulted in this idea of Tesla.
Thanks for your comment, I hope to post something to satisfy your curiosity in the (near) future. ;)
