Lost the original thread but here are my additional questions for its 
author:

1. What did Tesla HIMSELF say he did?

2. What is your source for this information?

3. What do YOU personally believe he did?

4. YOUR source for this belief?  If other than Tesla himself why do you 
accept it?  There are a lot of extravagent claims floating around which 
are pure fiction and/or wishful thinking.

    I agree  that the MIT team has demonstrated something and they did 
seem to be ignorant of Tesla's work but their results are trivial and 
obey standard laws of coupled electric circuits which have been known 
since before Tesla's work.
