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

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