Dear Terry,
This is my response to your post above. I do not discount Mr. Parn's
600 ohm measurement, nor the notion that a Tesla coil cannot transmit
usable amounts of electrical energy by way of Hertzian
electromagnetic waves. In Tesla's wireless power transmission
technique, the Tesla coil is only an integral part of the apparatus
needed, to transmit and receive wireless energy. He states exactly
how to accomplish this in his patent disclosures and also in his
testimony before his attorneys.
The "folks" who are working on these techniques are the ones who
will come forward, with their calculations and experimental
verifications, when the time is right for them. It is for them to do
this, not I. I simply wanted to point out that there is very real
research and science (not science fiction) going on in this field of
research. I personally have seen the results of some experiments
performed to verify that electric power was transmitted by Tesla's
methods. However, out of respect to the reaserchers who have
performed these experiments, I am not at liberty to disclose any
of the particulars of their work. I personally will wait, along
with everyone else, for the public disclosure of a means and method
of wireless power transmission, using Tesla's circuits.
I am quite confident, that the "folks" who are working on this, will
come forward in the near future, and give a full public disclosure of
their findings and test results.
Best regards,
Bill Wysock.
