Did Nichola Teslas ransmitting of power through the air project really exist?
Yes it really did happen. Tesla invented a type of induction coil which we know as the Tesla Coil. The Boston Museum of Science has several of these coils in its collection and the largest one is about 8 feet tall and 4 feet across. According to the Boston MOS http://www.mos.org/sln/toe/tesla.html, “Tesla Coils are really air-cored transformers that convert electricity into a high frequency, high voltage form and pump it out into the air. In the case of [the] big coils that is about a quarter of a million volts. If there is a grounded conducting object nearby then the coil will discharge to it instead of the air.” Tesla made his discovery about ‘terrestrial stationary waves’ in a laboratory in Colorado Springs during his stay from May 1899 to early 1900. He proved that the Earth could be used to conduct electricity and “would be as responsive as a tuning fork to electrical vibrations of a certain frequency”. The experiment to which you refer occurred during his stay in Colorado Springs
