It does not appear to be the same as the Tesla coil. If you are interested you can search Meyl scalar. he has a website and many videos on you tube. His website click on Papers, then Wireless energy transfer.
I got a set of his coils and electrodes last year. Hooked up my frequency generator and was able to get about five times the voltage off the primary on the receiver coil within the near field. Even at one-third wavelength I was able to light the LED's (using only low power from the FG) but if I get too near the receiver coil they dim from that distance. That is not the range limit, just didn't have more room to test farther distance. I do not get measurable extra voltage from that distance but I don't have an O-scope to measure the high frequency. He has wired a bridge rectifier and capacitor for measuring DC voltage but that can't be accurate, just a relative measurement. Got a lot to learn on this one.
