Footage of Richard Box's art installation in which fluorescent tubes light up in the ground under high voltage power lines, showing the electric fields they produce.
HN cites it as a striking demonstration that fluorescent tubes glow under power lines without wiring.

Tesla did not invent Unlimted wireless electricity. He got low efficiency wireless power transfer working, but never worked out that inducing a current acts as a drain on the source aka you can use a high tension power line to light a few light bulbs just fine but the power company can measure the drain on the line. IMO, his problem was he was getting such low efficiency transfers that the drain was not obvious. PS: If you still think his idea of charging the ionosphere could work, watch this video. [VIDEO] But, you can see people walking around the field prevents the bulbs from lighting up. Just, ignore the audio on this as they don't know what their talking about.
There are a few "art installations" where people put fluorescent tubes under power lines. [VIDEO] [LINK] If I lived close enough I'd be trying to work out some kind of trickle charger for phones.
I heard of a similar story when taking a tour of a local transmition station as a kid. You can light up fluorescent tubes by placing them on the ground under high voltage power lines, so I'd assume something like that is how this would work: [LINK] [VIDEO]
