Shea:
I'm a Tesla fan, and like the wireless power concept. I'm curious, tho, how 
you came across this? There's an interesting book, "Networks of Power," Tom 
Hughes, mentions them all, but I had the impression of a larger, way 
complicated thing establismnent of the power grid. ... Also, I think I 
saved it, I came across an newsletter article about "Would it have worked," 
Tesla's plan for distributing power w/o wires? I don't know how good the 
article is, but it was thought provoking, at least!
