Omega Recoil - Wireless Transmission: How Did Nikola Tesla Do It?In the late 1800s Nikola Tesla began experimenting with transmitting power wirelessly via the earth's crust and the ionosphere. He invented what we now know as the Tesla Coil; this device was capable of generating extremely high voltages, and was the pre-curser to radio transmission. What was Tesla doing? How was he doing it? Does wireless power work? The Omega Recoil team have been re-creating some of Tesla's wireless power experiments, with interesting results.Omega Recoil's presentation will include videos of their Tesla Coils running and power being transmitted wirelessly.
