Re: Tesla coil for wireless data transmission?

Joel,

It may be that the local WiFi systems of the future ARE based upon 
Tesla's form of wireless transmission and reception.  Be sure to read 
the thread beginning with the message "Tesla Coil RF Transmitter" 
posted on September 09, 2005 before you begin drawing your 
conclusions as to the practicability of the World System.  As to the 
bandwidth issue, keep in mind that the World System was designed to 
employ certain spread-spectrum principles, making available the 
shorter wavelength regions of the electromagnetic spectrum."

    Resonance and "spread spectrum" (extremely wide bandwidth) are 
mutually incompatible.

"Other related threads are "Fractal antennas and Tesla coils," 
"physics of wireless transmission," "electromagnetic wave fundamental 
frequency and harmonic series?," "Goubou line, "G-line" (was Tesla 
Coil RF Transmitter)," Tesla Receiver Coil'" and "Tesla Receiver Coil 
..........success . . ."

Here are some other thing to keep in mind.  The jury is still out as 
to whether the basic principles of wireless transmission that Tesla 
laid out are sound.  Anyone who says that Tesla's work in the field 
wireless energy transmission cannot be successfully reproduced is 
engaging in speculation.

   Last sentence is correct and to date the speculation seems to be 
justified.  Anyone is free to come forth and change that.
