RE: [TCML] USB-powered Tesla Coil for Data Transmission

["Lau, Gary" <Gary.Lau@xxxxxx>]

A "giant step in the right direction" towards what?  A modulated Tesla coil operating at any frequency that TC's use can't hope to compete with the bandwidth attained by garden variety wireless routers operating at 2.4GHz.  I think the broadcast range of routers is limited by FCC requirements, not the underlying technology.  Besides enshrining the name "Tesla", what is it you seek to achieve?
