Description: An experiment in wireless power transmission by Nikola Tesla at his laboratory in Colorado Springs in 1899. This is a bank of lights attached to a large 50 foot wire loop antenna, receiving power from Tesla's high voltage "oscillator" transmitter, a large Tesla coil 100 feet away. This experiment seems to be Tesla's longest distance power transmission for which there is hard evidence.
