Robert Golka never eclipsed the operation of his equipment (as
originally established in Wendover, Utah.) When he reestablished a
new "base of operation" in Leadville, Colorado, the same equipment
never performed as well as it did in Wendover. I have documentation
of this fact. At Wendover, Golka's source of power was (one leg)
of a three-phase 'duce-and-a-half (surplus military) 150 KVa
desil generator set. I know he pulled at least 150 KVa from a single
phase of that generator (almost enough to stall the desil engine.)
But no more then that. As for what amount of power (input) he
might have attempted at Leadville, Co., only people who worked
there (such as Toby Grotz, who was the first President of the
International Tesla Society,) could answer that.
Best regards,
Bill Wysock.
