Hi Chris,
Can you say what your thread is titled? I just looked at the tesla list and
was overwhelmed by all the "wireless power transfer (MIT)" messages. I did
get about 10% transfer, the same technology/design as designing radio "IF"
transformers, etc., my limitation was the parallel impedance of my load
lamp, a 4 watt 120V incandescent. and, thus,  receiver coil voltage.
-Dave D."

	Same technology as the MIT guys - as all that other correspondence points out they just different names for well-known phenomena and somehow caught the attention of the as usual ignorant "science writers" with wild and unrealistic claims.  In your experiment did you try tapping the lamp down on the receiver coil in order to get best efficiency?  I would think that would be necessary.
