I put together a simple experiment showing how power is transferred between two Tesla Coils since I've never seen anybody recreate this experiment. This is a recreation of Nikola Tesla's famous experiment showing the practicality of transmitting power using 4 tuned coils.
The system can be scaled up or down, transmitting many watts or megawatts of power, depending on the coils involved.
This demonstrates that Tesla coils can transmit power using any suitable conductor and are not limited by the inverse square law, as long as there is a direct connection between the coils. The losses involved are more similar to a standard transmission line.
