Hi Matthew,

Since the Shorem L.I. project was never completed, we may never know.
Westinghouse was allegedly quoted as saying "but where would we put the
meters". Somehow he figured out the resonant frequency of the earth. Around
5hz I believe.

The replys on this one should be interesting!

does anyone know of any real life applications of a tesla coil. I
know of the "neat" tricks to do with it (i.e. lighting a lightbulb
without wires), but not of any important things. Why would Tesla
invent something that could only make sparks and nothing more?

thanks,
