Morgan. Tesla had to lie about the project, saying he was trying to make the first transcontinental radio broadcast. However, Morgan didn't give Tesla enough money so he went back to get more, and accidentally mentioned that his goal was to wirelessly transmit energy, not to make the radio broadcast. Then, Morgan cut the funding, Wardenclyffe was torn down, Marconi stole Tesla's technology, made the broadcast and stole the credit. Originally, Tesla got his funding for Wardenclyffe through J.P.

The developer of what I was looking at said it was only about 40% efficient, but was leaving the door wide open to improving upon it. He seemed to be saying, "I have the idea and a basic how-to, I just need help maximizing it." This witricity idea reminds me of that.

AWESOME! You guys rule, I heard about this a while ago and was blown away, I just wish it was 100% or at least 90% effiecient! I don't know if you guys heard or not, but over here bbc radio nottingham did an experiment last wednesday where they got several thousand participants to turn off things they didn't need over night at the plug, rather than leaving it on standby and the results were better than expected.... they saved litterally thousands of megawatt hours! If only the entire country, or several countries did this every night, think of the economic saving, let alone the amount of fuel saved not producing wasted electricity! Still love the show! your patenting the show? AWESOME!

With magnetic waves inducing a current in a coiled wire a distance away? If so, then you may already use it and not know it. Some electronic toothbrushes use induced currents to charge capacitors, storing a charge for you to make your teeth sparklingly white. At least this is what I was taught in electromagnetic physics.

Maybe it wont interfer with anything. But normal power cables can and do effect amateur radio sets. I wonder how much more interference can be generated by something that is actually trying to radiate power. Even though its radiating a magnetic field i'm sure there will be electromagetic effects.
