Nikola Tesla's Transmission of Wireless Energy
In 1898 Nikola Tesla began systematic research to perfect a method of transmitting electrical energy through the Earth at his experimental station in Colorado Springs. His article "World-Wide Transmission of Electrical Signals" in 1929 explained Tesla's hypothesis that the transmission of wireless energy around the entire Earth was possible. The Tesla Wireless Transmission Theory stated that the oscillating energy would travel through the Earth to all points on the Earth's surface. From his proposed Universal Central Station electricity could send power to lights, heat, and power stations anywhere on Earth. TO explain his idea Tesla used the analogy of a flexible sphere, a balloon of sorts, that is blown up with a hand pump. With pressure gauges at every point on this sphere or balloon, each gauge would record the same pressure at all points on its surface. Before ending this research project because of a lack of funds, Tesla's engineering research at the Wardenclyffe Tower on Long Island succeeded in transmitting wireless energy over seven miles and electrifying Tesla's specially designed light bulbs.
