>>Yes, Telsa's invention could send electrical power to distant points without the use of transmission lines. It is said that he took this knowledge with him when he died. Now, I am discussing his ability to transmit hugh amounts of electrical energy, which he demonstrated. I am not refering to what is called a "Telsa Coil" which is a laboratory cur.

I guess I thought he was trying to send the equivalent of radio messages through the earth. He used so much power in his experiment that he blew out the majority of the generators of the power company!
