I just spoke with a guy that claims a company has developed a way to run A/C and D/C power on the same wire at the same time. I have PDF of their brochure and I will PM or E-mail a copy to anyone interested. Anyone ever heard of this?
This is nothing new... The technology has existed for some time now where you could get AC power delivered to your home and have all telecommunication (telephone, cable, internet, security, etc.) on the same lines...
The power generation industry has been monitoring AC generators with DC telemetrics for decades...
Tesla probably knew about this...

Hmmmmm. PNM (our electric utility) has done telemetry and switching commands at 100KHz for years. That, combined with 2 billion watts of RFI from repeaters, Sandia National Labs, 23 antennas on Sandia crest is part of what drove me to develop the BUSSes. DC offset components on our local grid are quite low, possibly because they are balanced and our AC rides on top.
Tesla knew more than we give him credit for. I have read everything I could find on and about him. Comparatively speaking Edison was a plagiarist with an ego the size of Niagra Falls, which is an entirely different discussion.
I'm still curious as to how they are implementing their technology.
