I WAS THERE!

the resistance/1000 feet of #10 is
about 1 (0.001 ohms/ft), #20 is about (0.01 ohms/ft), #30 is about (0.1
ohms/ft), and #40 is about (1 ohm/ft). Voltage drop for most stuff should not exceed 10%
Some quotes from Nikola Tesla
QUOTES THAT GUIDE US
"Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by
a power obtainable at any point in the universe. This idea
is not novel... We find it in the delightful myth of
Antheus, who derives power from the earth; we find it among
the subtle speculations of one of your splendid
mathematicians... Throughout space there is energy. Is
this energy static or kinetic.? If static our hopes are in
vain; if kinetic - and this we know it is, for certain -
then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed
in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of
nature."
Nikola Tesla addressing the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers, 1891.

tesla is a cult figure and spawner of conspiracy theories, in addition to whatever sort of scientist he was.
you forgot about sending electricity throught the earth. he allegedly actually did do some damage trying that. Perhaps that led to his work on the doomsday machine.
Why not just put an AC generator there? DC won't do you much good, anyway. If you want, I have some links about this subject that might be helpful, although you've probably read the same sites.
By the way, I'm going to scan the information that talks about the misinformation and hype about the "rape Camps" maintained by the Serbs as mostly fabricated.
Working on it this week.....
