Nikola Tesla Believes the Power Can Be Transmitted Five Hundred Miles or More.
Nikola Tesla, the electrical expert and engineer, was shown today the published statement which was telegraphed from Buffalo to the effect that he had discovered a method for successfully transmitting electricity long distances and was asked as to the truth of it.
He replied: — "Yes, I did state that electricity can be transmitted long distances upon a commercial basis — over a distance of at least five hundred miles. I will stake my reputation and my life upon it. I only qualify by adding that the amount of power transmitted must be considerable."
