Bill and all,

I've studied virtually all of the publicly available information in Tesla's
notes and patents.  It appears that his patented system used ground
currents (actually displacement currents) to base-excite remote
resonators... but this approach is still far from being lossless. 

Could you share with us any experimental results, or the source(s) of
information which lead you to conclude that Tesla actually discovered a
practical method for nearly lossless energy transmission?
