I would be interested in this big time too.  I am a general Tesla
buff, but actual technical data on his wireless transmission systems
is scarce and I am sure there are those who believe he didn't
accomplish it quite as fully as the reports lead us to believe.  I
mean, obviously you can run neon bulbs with a charged ion stream from
a high voltage source and a needle at 30 feet, but this isn't real practical.

The writings of his numerous lab assistants talk of very tantalizing
eye-witnessed successes at the Pike's Peak lab, but alas no real technical
detail.  He surely must have convinced SOME people (including J.P.
Morgan) since the 100-foot broadcast tower/complex was actually built,
but was torn down when he pissed Morgan off and lost all funding.  It
had a copper-plated sphere at the top, and was supposed to serve as
the universal source of power as well as a radio programming center
(news, information, and power from the same source- too bad they
couldn't charge for it.)

Anyway, Tesla is known for a few fantastic claims, but this one has
more legit pointers than most.  Anyone's findings on this subject
would be greatly appreciated.
