["Tesla list" <tesla@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,  I joined the list just to see if anyone has done any work, or
knows of any attempts to use tesla coil technology for transmitting
wireless data?

Related questions:

What is the smallest functional tesla coil size?

Can a tesla coil be built with such specs that it could be used with
mobile computers without damaging them, yet put out enough energy
that data could be trancieved over a wide distance?

Could it be used both as a power source and a data connection, so
that a laptop could be powered and have an internet connection?

Thanks,

Joel
