<<  Hello,
  Once again, I am entering a realm beyond my training. I have been doing
 some research in the use of Tesla coils to wirelessly transmit electricity.
 So, what I am planning on doing is creating a series of tuned coils about
 the property here and using them as ,well, really fancy extension cords.
  Have any of you tried this? And besides just walking away till it no longer
 works, is there a good formula to find the outside usable distance from the
 transmitter?
  Well, wish me luck. I am working on a web site to add to the tesla ring so
 hopefully I will have something up to see soon.

Robert,

It will be very interesting to compare the amount of power received by the 
remote, receiving coil, with the primary coil sparking and non sparking.  The 
two coils may need to be different in size so that the primary (transmitting 
coil) could be over top loaded so the toroid does not break out, but the 
receiving coil loaded with a smaller toroid so it will break out - and still 
be tuned to the same frequency.

Sounds fun,
