    I don't think it was ever Tesla's intention for everyone to have a large
    Transmitter or receiver in their backyard. I think he intended to use the Transmitter to
    transmit energy from a remote source like a hydro plant, wind farm or large solar
    array to a receiver close to the cities which would be like a substation, from
    there the output of the receiver would be transformed into 50/60 Hz 120 or 240v
    power and distributed by wires just like now. The transmitter - receiver would
    eliminate the long distance transmission lines over inaccessible area'a.

    People in the country away from the cities could use a small receiver for lighting
    and small amounts of power.

    In my experiments if a transmitter is switched by solid state means there is only
    a very small band of interference ie, I found I can tune in my radio to get 837 AM
    which is ABC radio and I can tune the Tesla coil bang on 837 kHz so that the
    radio station can be received on both sides of the interference band from the
    coil. The field produced is shown by my scope as being perfectly sinusoidal.

    Any arcing or ect. would produce broad band interference. Like a spark gap.
    If I take a hand held radio and put it near my computer power supply or TV or
    just about anything with a switch mode power supply, it hears the interference
    from them anyway. There is a lot of electrical noise in the air already.

    I have to ask the questions.

    Why would everyone want to have a large Tesla transmitter or receiver in
    their backyard ?

    And why do so many want to be provided with free energy at someone elses expense ?

    Hydro plants require a great expense in initial setup and maintenance. Who
    would pay to build and maintain the power plant and the transmitter/receivers.

    If transformed to regular wired power at the receiving station and distributed
    as per normal the same meters would be used. Only people in area's where
    there is no distribution would require a small receiver for small amounts of power.

    Still energy theft would be a major problem and would likely be impossible to
    stop if the system did work as Tesla intended.

    To turn off a receiver just disconnect it from the ground and maybe put it out
    of tune as well.

    Cheers
