Hi John,
Yes, I remember reading about Golka building that
massive coil in an old airport hangar in some place
like Wendover, UT, I believe? Of course Mr. Golka
also did not built it from his personal funds either, but
rather obtained some substantial government funding to
take on that project. He was supposed to be studying
and experimenting with wirelsee power transmission
with this project, wasn't he?
David
