Hi All,
         I hope terry feels like letting this through as I never got around 
to adding my final thoughts to the discussion.  I think I've set out most of 
my idea but some of the list were a little scathing about my refs.  
particullarly the 128foot streamer at resonance.  As I was re-reading a Tesla 
biog ('The Man Who Invented The 20th Century'  Headline Press 1999)  I came 
across this:
'The strike was over 200 feet (61m) in length.  There was a mighty clap of 
thunder as the electricity ripped the air apart.  The local newspapers 
reported that the noise could be heard as far off as Cripple Creek, 20miles 
(32km) away.'
The same book also substantiates the claim that the experiment burnt out the 
alternator at the Colorado springs power company, who's director Leonard 
Curtiss, Tesla's former patent lawyer, had agreed to provide power at the 
off-peak rate all the time to Tesla.
There is also a detailed description of 200 incandesant bulbs being lit at a 
range of 26 miles from the plant by a receiver.  The passage unfortunately 
does not give the wattage or cp rating of the bulbs so that no power figure 
can be calculated from this.

Regards
Nick Field
