Wireless Electricity
The Wardenclyffe Project

• Wireless Electricity One of Tesla's last major projects was the Wardenclyffe Tower. His vision was that he could create a wireless network grid to both establish a wireless communications and power network. Work began on the project in 1901 and Tesla was making good head way until, as usual with Tesla, he didn't have sufficenet funds to continue his research. Many potential investors did not see the technology as profitable because there was no way to measure how much power a user consumed, and thus could not be billed accordingly. Even Tesla's longtime partner Westinghouse did not want to push the project because if it succeeded, he would have to replace all of his existing power transmission lines with new towers. With no money or support, Tesla was forced to sell his test facility and the tower was destroyed in 1917. The building that sat adjacent to the tower on Long Island is still standing today, and many efforts have been made to restore it, mostly from the Tesla Society.

  How the System Worked Tesla's idea in essence was to sit up numerous giant Tesla coils in a network where they were anchored and grounded to the Earth. The towers would be tuned to the frequency of the Earth because the planet has an inherent electrical charge. This electricity that is drawn from the Earth could then be sent to a receiver and distributed as needed. In theory the system used very little energy and could have supplied the planet with free wireless energy. At right is an illustration from one of Tesla's patents of his giant Tesla coil towers.
