“Tesla Tower”
- Built by Nikola Tesla in an attempt to prove his experiment, a wireless power transmission system
- It was a large scaffold like tower with a large dome at the top
- Tesla wanted to transmit messages and telephony across the Atlantic to England and to ships at sea based
- This was all based on his theories of using the Earth to conduct the signals, but ultimately became a great failure due to the competition
- Guglielmo Marconi’s radio based telegraph system was successful in the first radio wave transmission and all other developing methods were pushed aside
- Tesla theorized that if he injected electric current into the Earth at the right frequency he could harness the earths own electrical charge
