After 1890, Tesla used the coil to experiment with transmitting power via inductive and capacitive coupling.
Tesla utilized the high AC voltages generated by the Tesla coil to explore wireless power transmission methods. This resonant transformer circuit was integral to his subsequent work on wireless power, building on his earlier experiments with resonant circuits.
