Re: Wireless Energy Transmission

to: John, Andy

It's not true --- the physics doesn't work out -- not even close.  You might
light a neon lamp at 1,000 yards --- we have done this with a second
resonator and the primary resonator running at 6 kva, but no appreciable
power can be drawn at great distances.  Pipe dreams.

Dr.Resonance
