Interesting.But it got nothing to do with tesla transformers and you forgot to mention frequency of the transmission :)

Hi Ed,

The 'Roadster' was thrown together in a weekend for Maker Faire; we 
didn't quantify it's overall coupling and efficiency like we did the 
experimental coils.  A wild guess would be on the order of ~10%.

Just stumbled across this video the other night.  This is without 
question the state-of-the-art, at 82% overall efficiency:
